War ends but the tears doesnt stop.

You don't want to be a victim or witness to a mass human massacre. Maybe the early decades of the century start with certain unrest in the world which becomes a lesson for the generations to come. But if we human keeps on repeating the same mistakes then it shows no matter how much we progress we diligently succumb to our ego.

The current confrontation of Ukraine and Russia is nothing but the aggression of Putin on the hostile environment created by the west. Russia has always been against Nato’s proposal of including Ukraine under it, and ignoring Russia’s interest while galloping ahead in its conquest to expand eastward, NATO would certainly jeopardize the safety of Ukrainians.

Ukraine in itself is divided into fragile states, due to linguistic differences, in the west, the majority is of the Ukrainians speaking, while in the east, towards Russia, the Russian-speaking people are in majority. So, there is always a certain difference in ideology when patriotism is questioned.

Why does Nato want to immerse Ukraine as its ally? This question is very important, as it will reason out the problem, Ukraine is facing now. In a modest lecture on the West's interest in Ukraine, Dr. Wendell Harrison states that “ The west has a strong interest in Ukraine to create a power base, which totally threatens the Russian security, and Putin, in no sane mind, would ever allow the creation of a powerful base on its border.” As correctly described in his speech, in 2016 he feared that, if the West, doesn't stop its interest in the inclusion of Ukraine in the EU, Russia could destabilize their neighbors, mostly with brutal arm force.

This fear, unfortunately, has come to be true, as we see lots of innocent lives being lost in this war of Power boasting. The soldiers, civilians, everyone wishes for peace. But how do we get it? Will Russia agree to the West proposal or the Ukrainians would keep losing innocent lives by fighting for their honor, and homeland.

In my accordance, the U.S and its allies should understand that although they see them as a powerful force in the world that shouldn't compromise the safety of common people of inferior countries. They should come on neutral ground and make Ukraine a Buffer zone to stop this war from being a catastrophic massacre.
