Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

SOURCE www.npr.org
The roots of Russia's invasion of Ukraine go back decades and run deep. The current conflict is more than one country fighting to take over another; it is a shift in the world order. The U.S. and European allies are split over the war, with the U.S. voting against a resolution urging Moscow to withdraw its troops. Europe pledges support for Ukraine, but U.S. support is shifting towards Russia. Ukraine remains determined to reclaim its territory and is open to peace negotiations but not at the cost of territorial concessions.
