Russian Military Actions
The
last real war Russia was in was in World War II when the Nazi’s broke their
neutrality pact Russia. The Nazi’s wanted to take over Russia to gain more land
and power. World War II ended with Russia and the United States fighting over
who gets what. This started the Cold War, yet most people do not consider it an
actual war. From 1946 to 1989 when the Berlin wall fell. The Cold War was when
the United States and Russia pointed missiles at each other, basically taunting
each other. Today, Russia has a conflict of Ukraine. Ukraine is it’s own
independent country that was once controlled by Russia. Therefore there are
still Russian supporters in Ukraine and they want to be part of Russia again.
In April, Russian activists took over government buildings in Ukraine
territory. Russia proclaimed that they
will not help the activists in anyway. They also said that they will keep all military
out of Ukraine territory. United States intelligence says that they have
satellite pictures of Russian tanks and troops in eastern Ukraine. These events
are still occurring today so we will see how they play out.
