The conflict in Ukraine, rages on as the Russian military
has begun to move into Ukrainian territory. The Russian military is reportedly
bringing in high grade weaponry, as well as training separatist. Some the
weaponry Russia has brought into Ukrainian borders includes air defense
systems. Russia has vocally denied any the presence of military equipment and
troops. Russia’s aggressive behavior in sending troops will undoubtedly raise
alarm in the international community. Russian officials have referred to the
troops in Ukrainian territory as “volunteers.” Allegedly Russian conveys have
been spotted moving toward, the Donetsk region of the Ukraine. The coveys are
as large as over one hundred vehicles. Russia is clearly preparing itself for a
massive conflict which will likely take place in Ukrainian borders.
Due
to Russia’s aggressive action the United Nations Security Council was forced to
meet and discuss the issue. NATO is unclear of Russia’s intentions for the
Donetsk region as the region occupies a large portion of Ukraine. Russia may be
attempting to use the region to strengthen separatist movements as Donetsk has
proclaimed itself, Donetsk People’s Republic. While a cease fire is still
technically in effect between Russia and Ukraine it is only a matter of time,
before both nations engage in military conflict.
