Russia\u2019s centuries-long quest to conquer Ukraine<\/b><\/i><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022 shocked many around the world.<\/p>\n

But anyone who paid attention to Ukrainian history would have seen it coming.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered several excuses for the invasion. One was to kill all the supposed “Nazis” in Ukraine. Another was to eliminate Ukraine’s supposed military threat to Russia.<\/p>\n

But the true reason was to annex Ukraine as a territory that Putin believes has always rightfully belonged to Russia. In speeches that recalled imperial times, Putin claimed that Ukraine’s independence was a mistake that he intended to correct.<\/p>\n

This meant conquering Kyiv, toppling the elected government, and destroying the Ukrainian national identity.<\/p>\n

Putin’s twisted vision isn’t new. Russia has been doing this for close to 400 years<\/b>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
