On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, prompting many to ask why. Here are 10 reasons why Russia invaded Ukraine, including:

1. To control Ukraine’s oil and gas reserves, which are the second-largest in Europe. Russia wants to stop Ukraine from developing its own gas resources.

2. To prevent Ukraine from joining the EU and NATO, as Russia views these organizations as a threat to its security and interests.

3. To establish a landbridge connection to Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014. This would allow Russia to control the Naval Base at Seast Toole and supply and connect Crimea to the mainland.

4. To control the water supply to Crimea, which Russia has been pumping freshwater through a canal from Ukraine. Ukraine stopped diverting water to Crimea after Russia annexed the region in 2014.

5. To gain control of the Sea of Azov, which is a vital shipping route and military asset. Russia wants to connect its ports to the Azov Sea.

6. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Soviet Union, which Moscow wants to revive.

7. To test its latest military technology, including hypersonic cruise missiles.

8. To impress China and other countries that might be interested in buying Russian military hardware.

9. To demonstrate its military capabilities to China, show that its weapons can perform well in real-world combat scenarios.

10. To steal a portion of Ukraine’s population and subjugate or enslave them, as part of Russia’s efforts to reconstitute the Soviet Union. This plan involves kidnapping civilians and holding them in “filtration camps” where they are forced to work and take domestic servile jobs, often away from their families.

The Russian people should remember that their current leader is acting like a fascist dictator, suppressing human rights, and attacking schools, hospitals, and churches in Ukraine.
