JUNE 11 — Ukraine was not a country many of us gave much thought to prior to 2022. At the edge of Europe, it didn’t register for many in this part of the world.And then, large-scale conflict struck.
The resulting violence has dragged on for 16 months. The major powers of Nato have supported Ukraine by providing nearly unlimited ammunition, funds and training, without becoming actively involved in the fighting themselves. For Russia, therefore, Crimea is key to securing its navy and maritime shipping lanes. Without a warm water port it can never function as a major independent power.
Also, by actively defending itself, it is receiving enormous aid from Nato, securing its government and economy. Russian officials have said they are prepared to use nuclear weapons if Russia’s existence is threatened. Even US allies like Mexico have refused to accept that Russia is the sole aggressor and should be placed under sanctions.
