War between Russia and Ukraine

 On February 24 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Russian officials said, that the reason behind the invasion is protecting russians living in Ukraine and making an denazification of the country. Their goal was to capture Kyiv in a couple days, but the war has been going on for more than six months. Russia has made substancial damage to ukrainian cities, buildings and caused deaths of many ukrainian and russian people. Recently Russia has announced a "partial mobilisation" in the country. It's speculated that the mobilisation isn't partial but more close to 100% mobilisation. Many men have to leave their wives and children to participate in the war, and because of this many protests have started to appear in Russia. 

In my opinion Russia had no real reason to invade Ukraine other than to take back their land that was given to them by the USSR. Ukraine is known to have great natural resources such as very fertile soil, big coal deposits and forests. Fortunately the fight is more on the side of Ukraine, which is one of the reasons of the mobilisation in Russia. I think it's also very important that other countries are trying to help Ukraine defend itself and help civilians who suffer the most.
