What is the current situation in Russia and Ukraine? What is the root cause of the deterioration of Russian-Ukrainian relations?

At present, the progress of the situation in Russia and Ukraine is not ideal, because the headquarters of the Ukrainian National Guard has been destroyed, so it can be seen that the situation in Europe and Europe is getting worse and worse, and relations are getting worse and worse.

So what is the root cause of the deterioration of Russian-Ukrainian relations this time?

1, historical reasons. In fact, from a historical perspective, the history of Ukraine and Russia itself is closely linked. After the end of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the main politics of Ukraine and Russia have always maintained a relatively close relationship. However, due to the change of Ukraine's political orientation, Russia-Ukraine relations eventually became contradictory and intensified.

2. Political factors. In fact, the deterioration of Russian-Ukrainian relations is caused by changes in international politics. First of all, there are structural contradictions between transatlantic and Europe and Russia. Moreover, the United States constantly provoked and stimulated the situation on both sides, which eventually led to a state of direct confrontation between the two sides. During the Cold War, the Soviet Union and now Russia maintained a prominent oppressive geographical advantage over Europe or NATO countries. In order to eliminate this threat, western countries try to push this threat as far as possible through NATO's eastward expansion, which will greatly limit Russia's strategic behavior, while the United States will provoke it, which will eventually lead to the deterioration of Russia-Ukraine relations.

3. Complex changes in geopolitics. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, a series of independent sovereign states appeared around Russia. However, these countries themselves have complicated historical origins with Russia, and there are similarities in both the spiritual world of history and geography. However, this contradicts geopolitics. As a whole, there are complex geographical relations in the surrounding three directions, such as 1 Central Asia, and the most obvious example is the Collective Security Treaty Organization. The second Caucasus, Russia and Georgia had a war before. The third is Eastern Europe, which is probably the deadliest place in Russia. Therefore, with the blessing of these three points, it eventually evolved into the deterioration of Russian-Ukrainian relations.
