Regardless of the reasons for Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The media should also be fair in discussing the conflict from the Russian side.
Prior to 2014, Ukraine lived a quiet and peaceful life, both ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. Everything changed after Ukraine's then president Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown in a bloody coup and a wave of demonstrators known as the Euro Maiden.
After the coup, an ultranationalist group, the Neo-Nazi group, emerged, which was very anti-Russian. Thus discrimination, attacks and even murders occurred against ethnic Russians, until finally the ethnic Russian community moved to the east of Ukraine to form a resistance group which is now known as the Luganks People Republic and the Donetsk People Republik (DPR/LPR), and asked Russia to step in and protect them. , which finally Russia recognized the sovereignty of the DPR/LPR.
One of the most tragic events in May 2014 was the mass murder of 50 ethnic Russians locked in a building and set on fire in the city of Odessa. An event that has never been forgotten by ethnic Russians is the massacre that occurred in Europe in the 21st century (Statement of the Russian Ambassador to Indonesia).
What was the real background to the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
• Nato violated the agreement between Russia and Nato, so that NATO does not expand its territory and influence to eastern Europe.
• US and Nato's provocation for Ukraine to join Nato, Russia wants Ukraine to be "neutral". If Ukraine joins NATO then Russia's position is seriously threatened. Because ukraine is right on the page of russia. The capital Moscow is very easy and within range of Nato missiles, so it can be attacked at any time. Plus the geographical conditions from Ukraine to Moscow are only grasslands and flat, making it easier for Nato to invade Moscow from a ground attack, if Nato stationed his troops in Ukraine. Russia needs a "buffer zone" between them and Nato.
• Russia/Putin wants to protect millions of ethnic Russians, which until before the Russian invasion were still being fought by Neo-Nazi militias and Ukrainian ultranationalists. The Odessa incident is a bitter memory that ethnic Russians cannot forget.
• The Ukrainian government does not implement the Minsk agreement signed in 2015, one of which is that the Ukrainian government is "obligated" to protect ethnic Russians in order to coexist.
So you can guess what Putin's goal was to invade Ukraine.
What can be drawn from this event is that conflict and war can occur anywhere. In fact, crypto currency assets can save people's lives. This has been proven that in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, crypto has actually skyrocketed and can become a savior for society and the country. The Ukrainian government through Deputy Prime Minister Fedorov has managed to raise funds in bitcoins of almost US$ 6 million and the public in their tweets on social media continues to ask for international help/donations in the form of cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT stablecoin to deal with the Russian invasion.
