}}'''Ukraine''' is a country in Eastern Europe. He is the second-largest European country after [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]], which borders him to the east and northeast.

=== 2004-2014 ===
The 2004 presidential election saw [[File:Yanukovych-icon.png]] [[Yanukovychism|Viktor Yanukovych]] initially declared the winner, but allegations of vote-rigging led to the [[File:OrangeRev-icon.png]] [[Orange Revolution]], a series of protests that resulted in a re-run of the election. [[File:Yushchenko-icon.png]] [[Yushchenkoism|Viktor Yushchenko]] emerged victorious, promising to steer Ukraine towards [[File:NATO-icon.png]] [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]] and the [[File:EU-icon.png]] [[European Union]]. However, political infighting plagued his administration.

However, political infighting plagued his administration.


In 2010, [[File:Yanukovych-icon.png]] [[Yanukovychism|Yanukovych]] won the presidency. He struck a deal with [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] that extended the lease for the [[File:RussiaNavy-icon.png]] [[Russian Navy|Russian navy]] in [[File:Crimea-icon.png]] [[Crimea]]. By 2013 oh 2013, [[File:Yanukovych-icon.png]] [[Yanukovychism|Yanukovych]]'s decision to suspend a trade agreement with the [[File:EU-icon.png]] [[European Union]] in favor of closer ties with [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] ignited the [[File:Euromaidan-icon.png]] [[Euromaidan]] protests. The situation escalated into violent clashes, and [[File:Yanukovych-icon.png]] [[Yanukovychism|Yanukovych]] fled the country in February 2014. Shortly after, [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] annexed [[File:Crimea-icon.png]] [[Crimea]] following a disputed referendum, and pro-Russian separatists declared independence in the [[File:DonetskPR-icon.png]] [[Donetsk People's Republic|Donetsk]] and [[File:LuhanskPR-icon.png]] [[Luhansk People's Republic|Luhansk]] regions, leading to ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.

=== 2014-Present ===
[[File:Poroshenko-icon.png]] [[Poroshenkoism|Petro Poroshenko]] was elected president in May 2014, aiming to strengthen ties with the Western world. The tragic downing of [[File:MalayAir-icon.png]] [[Malaysia Airlines|Malaysian Airlines]] Flight MH17 in July 2014, attributed to a missile linked to [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]], intensified international scrutiny and condemnation of [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]]'s actions in Ukraine. In 2017, Ukraine signed an association agreement with the [[File:EU-icon.png]] [[European Union|EU]], facilitating free trade and visa-free travel for Ukrainians.

[[File:Zelenskyy-icon.png]] [[Zelenskyyism|Volodymyr Zelenskyy]], a former comedian, won the presidency in 2019, defeating [[File:Poroshenko-icon.png]] [[Poroshenkoism|Poroshenko]] on a platform of anti-corruption and peace in eastern Ukraine. His party, [[File:SerOfPeople-icon.png]] [[Servant of the People]], secured a [[File:Parliamentarianism-icon.png]] [[Parliamentarianism|parliamentary]] majority. In 2021, [[File:Zelenskyy-icon.png]] [[Zelenskyyism|Zelenskyy]] sought [[File:NATO-icon.png]] [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]] membership for Ukraine, which prompted [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] to increase his military presence near Ukraine's borders, escalating tensions.

On February 24, 2022, [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, marking a significant escalation in the conflict and leading to widespread international condemnation and substantial military and humanitarian impacts. The invasion has profoundly affected global politics and the security landscape in Europe. This invasion is still happening today as of July 2024, but the media's attention has gone to [[File:Israel-icon.png]] [[Israel]] and [[File:Palestine-icon.png]] [[Palestine]]. Recently in July 24 2024, Ukraine tried to convince [[File:PRC-icon.png]] [[People's Republic of China|China]] to make peace between [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] and Ukraine, but to no avail probably because [[File:PRC-icon.png]] [[People's Republic of China|China]] supplied a bunch of weapons for [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] and is also a close ally of [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]] (as if that wasn’t clear enough). In 6 August 2024, Ukraine made a comeback and invaded [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]].

In November 2024, [[File:Biden-icon.png]] [[Bidenism|Biden]] authorized the launch of ballistic missiles from Ukraine into [[File:Russia-icon.png]] [[Russia]]. The war has long been in a stalemate, almost no advances and retreats have been made in a year. Russia and Ukraine are deadlocked, and people are losing their lives over nothing. Something has to change.

Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. He is the second-largest European country after Russia and the biggest country entirely in Europe, which borders him to the east and northeast. He also borders Belarus to the north; Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west; and Romania and Moldova to the southwest; with a coastline along the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov to the south and southeast.

Ukraine cannot into many international organizations. However, Ukraine can into United Nations, like most other countries. He is currently trying to enter European Union and NATO. Still, it is highly unlikely due to the ongoing war against Russia.

історія (History)

1991-2004

Ukraine declared independence from the Soviet Union on August 24, 1991, with Leonid Kravchuk becoming its first president. A referendum in December confirmed this decision with overwhelming support. In 1994, Leonid Kuchma succeeded Kravchuk as president and agreed to give up Ukraine’s nuclear arsenal left over by the Soviet Union in exchange for security assurances from Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom under the Budapest Memorandum.

2004-2014

The 2004 presidential election saw Viktor Yanukovych initially declared the winner, but allegations of vote-rigging led to the Orange Revolution, a series of protests that resulted in a re-run of the election. Viktor Yushchenko emerged victorious, promising to steer Ukraine towards NATO and the European Union. However, political infighting plagued his administration.

In 2010, Yanukovych won the presidency. He struck a deal with Russia that extended the lease for the Russian navy in Crimea. By 2013 oh 2013, Yanukovych's decision to suspend a trade agreement with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia ignited the Euromaidan protests. The situation escalated into violent clashes, and Yanukovych fled the country in February 2014. Shortly after, Russia annexed Crimea following a disputed referendum, and pro-Russian separatists declared independence in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, leading to ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.

2014-Present

Petro Poroshenko was elected president in May 2014, aiming to strengthen ties with the Western world. The tragic downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 in July 2014, attributed to a missile linked to Russia, intensified international scrutiny and condemnation of Russia's actions in Ukraine. In 2017, Ukraine signed an association agreement with the EU, facilitating free trade and visa-free travel for Ukrainians.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a former comedian, won the presidency in 2019, defeating Poroshenko on a platform of anti-corruption and peace in eastern Ukraine. His party, Servant of the People, secured a parliamentary majority. In 2021, Zelenskyy sought NATO membership for Ukraine, which prompted Russia to increase his military presence near Ukraine's borders, escalating tensions.

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, marking a significant escalation in the conflict and leading to widespread international condemnation and substantial military and humanitarian impacts. The invasion has profoundly affected global politics and the security landscape in Europe. This invasion is still happening today as of November 2024, but the media's attention has gone to Israel and Palestine. Recently in July 24 2024, Ukraine tried to convince China to make peace between Russia and Ukraine, but to no avail probably because China supplied a bunch of weapons for Russia and is also a close ally of Russia (as if that wasn’t clear enough). In 6 August 2024, Ukraine made a comeback and invaded Russia.

In November 2024, Biden authorized the launch of ballistic missiles from Ukraine into Russia. The war has long been in a stalemate, almost no advances and retreats have been made in a year. Russia and Ukraine are deadlocked, and people are losing their lives over nothing. Something has to change.
