The situation in Ukraine continues to deteriorate. The further, the more flammable the situation becomes. How will it all end? Will there be foreign intervention? Opinions are different. Some believe that the introduction of troops into Ukraine is a foregone conclusion, while others think that there is still a chance to save the situation on their own. Who is right? How will events develop? Let's figure it out.

What causes the severity of the situation

Ukraine is the center of Europe. This is not only a geographical, but a geopolitical concept. There are partners on both sides of the country, seeking to pull it over to theirside. Now it is no secret to anyone that Ukraine has become a hostage of its geographical position. On its territory, the interests of the West and the East clashed. There is an undeclared war going on. Cruel and irreconcilable. The battle is still being fought more by informational and political methods. The positions of the parties, staggering in one direction or the other, remain approximately the same. From this point of view, the introduction of troops into Ukraine seems to be the only way to gain a geopolitical advantage. But who will dare? It's not even that there will be a terrible noise in the world community. Any destabilizing step by one of the parties can literallyblow up the planet. As a number of political scientists note, the world is once again on the verge of a nuclear conflict. And this means the death of civilization in its present form. An instant two-pronged nuclear attack could wipe out virtually the entire population of the planet. Naturally, no one wants this. But the rhetoric of nuclear guarantors is getting hotter, and there is no way out yet.

Briefly: what's going on in the country

The change of political power, which occurred by the democratic forces of the westernregions, stumbled upon the firm resistance of the south-east of Ukraine. The country has never been united. And the leader, willing and able to start the process of consolidation of society, was not found in twenty-three years. The power was simply pulled out from each other by opposing elites. The electorate watched. It could not continue indefinitely. The country was constantly torn apart by conflicts, one way or another affecting every citizen. Once again, representatives of the West seized power. Crimea was the first to rebel very quietly. More on this.

Crimean events

The peninsula has always felt homely. The small territory, which was treated only as a source of summer income and a place of entertainment, does nothas its heavyweight oligarch. There was no one in Kyiv to defend his interests. Events began to develop rapidly. Independence, referendum and joining the Russian Federation. Traditionally, the pro-Kiev forces are represented on the peninsula by the Crimean Tatar people. Its leader, Mustafa Dzhemilev, made a statement that Russian troops had entered Ukraine, namely Crimea. To which Moscow argued its actions with agreements on the Black Sea Fleet. She had the right to increase the contingent. Everything is determined by an interstate agreement. The scandal gradually subsided. Crimea firmly stood on its positions: local self-defense is operating on its territory.

Aspirations of the new Ukrainian authorities

The inability to contain the situation is becoming more and more evident. Attempts to mobilize and organize their forces in order to give a worthy rebuff to Moscow ended, to put it mildly, in nothing. In order for a combat-ready army to exist, it was necessary to take care of it all the years of independence, and not when the "rush hour" came. Did not work out. Turchinov addressed the leaders of Europe. His desperate message said that only the introduction of NATO troops into Ukraine could stabilize the situation. At the same time, a campaign about Russian aggression, unprecedented in strength and deceit, was launched in the media. The people need to be explained why there are strangers in the countrywarriors.

Europe, after considering the issue well, did not dare to take such a step. Official explanation: Ukraine is not a member of NATO, so the introduction of troops into Ukraine is impossible. NATO only protects its members. Yes, and Russia is at hand. And she made her statement ahead of time, without waiting for the bloody scenario to develop.

Russian position

President Putin received permission from the Federation Council to bring Russian troops into Ukraine. Senators unanimously sided with their leader,supporting his desire to protect his compatriots in the event of a massacre. Despite Kyiv's assurances, a peaceful scenario in Ukraine is becoming less and less likely. Turchynov announced the start of an anti-terrorist operation. The activity of Donbass does not suit the current authorities. Armed suppression is the only way to fight the separatists, in their opinion. The fact that the inhabitants of the southeast do exactly the same as the citizens of Western Ukraine does not take into account. There was a popular uprising, here - separatism. With every passing hour, the introduction of troops into Ukraine becomes more and more likely. The world, regardless of political positions, is unanimous in one thing: it is impossible to allow the start of shooting and massacres.

US position

The President of this country does not get tired of expressing his serious concern and raising the level of vigilance of monitoring the situation. But the fact that it is impossible to bring US troops into Ukraine, he stated unequivocally. This is European territory, where America has a strong ally - NATO, and it is up to him to act. The United States is actively trying to put economic pressure on Russia and its allies, and supports the political press that operates on European and UN platforms. Yatsenyuk's direct call for military assistance met with a firm "no". Obama proposed, instead of weapons and soldiers, rations to support the Ukrainian army. It is likely that on the political front, the US will be better able to help its proxies. It is clear that Obama does not want a nuclear conflict.

Conclusion: the situation in Ukraine is heating up by the hour, even by the minute. Will there be troops in this country and what kind? Nobody will say that now. Everything will show the development of the situation. Only one thing is certain: forces clashed in this territory, one of which will leave the political arena after the conflict is resolved.
