Putin’s Greater Russia
Countries in Eastern Europe moved to the West Bank after the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991. Only Belarus remains with Russia. Ukraine does not join NATO but wants EU membership. Russia has deep social and cultural ties with Ukraine. Russian is one of the languages spoken there. Therefore, Putin’s position is that Ukraine is part of Russia.
Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied the Crimean peninsula in 2014 when a pro-government president was ousted. And provided armed support to rebels in eastern Ukraine. Putin’s dream is a vast Russia that stretches as far as Eastern Europe as it did in Soviet times.
