西元2014年~至今

唸給你聽

基本資料

衝突方/
●烏克蘭政府
支持者:北約、美國
●親俄分離勢力
支持者:俄羅斯

烏克蘭靠俄羅斯的東部地區,包含克里米亞、頓內次克、盧干斯克,大多住著俄裔,或是比較想要和俄羅斯友好、遠離歐盟的親俄分子。2014年,克里米亞搶先公投,成功脫烏入俄。頓內次克和盧干斯克則與烏克蘭發生武裝衝突,被稱為「頓巴斯戰爭」。俄羅斯持續用武器支持著烏東地區的親俄勢力,甚至直接發護照給他們,變相鼓勵人民歸順俄羅斯。2021年4月,俄羅斯突然集結上萬名軍人在烏東地區演習,烏克蘭草木皆兵,雙方差點打起來。後來以俄羅斯撤兵收場,但這起臨時衝突也讓北約重新思考讓烏克蘭加入的必要性。雖然暫無實際戰爭,但烏東地區的親俄/親歐對抗仍然是烏克蘭的一股不穩定力量。

Year: 2014 to date 

The eastern area in Ukraine, bordering Russia, includes Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk. The residents are mostly Russian descendants or pro-Russians who prefer to be friendly with Russia and distance themselves from the European Union. In 2014, Crimea initiated a referendum, declared independence from Ukraine and joined the Russian Federation. Donetsk and Luhansk, in turn, engaged in armed conflict with Ukraine, which is known as the Donbas War. Russia continues to support the pro-Russia force in Eastern Ukraine with weapons, even issuing them passports as an incentive to encourage the people to surrender to Russia. In April 2021, out of the blue, Russia gathered 10,000 soldiers in a military exercise in Eastern Ukraine. Things were very intense in Ukraine and both parties came close to waging a war against one another. The incident eventually ended with Russia pulling back its troops, but this sudden conflict prompted NATO to rethink the necessity of having Ukraine onboard. Even though there was no physical war, the pro-Russia and pro-Europe struggle in Eastern Ukraine remains a strong destabilizing factor in Ukraine.
