After independence, Ukraine not only gave up nuclear weapons, but also actively moved closer to the West. Ukraine has given up its nuclear weapons, which Russia certainly welcomes, because that would reduce the risk of nuclear war. But as Ukraine moves closer to the West, Russia is reluctant.
Doing so may still increase the risk of war, which will take place in Russia, where Western countries will use Ukraine as a base and instantly allow Russia to be destroyed by the West, so Russia is firmly opposed to Ukraine joining NATO.
But Ukraine's decision was already made, which led to the Facti asian crisis, Russia took the opportunity to teach Ukraine a lesson, not only supporting the Crimean independence referendum, but also accepting Crimea into Russia.
Ukraine made a wrong move
Observers pointed out that Ukraine has not fully analyzed the causes and consequences of the incident, and one-sidedly believes that there is no excuse for Russia's approach, so it has accelerated the steps toward the West. However, when the Donbass region had problems, Russia did not adopt the Crimean approach.
Russia also urged the Donbass region and the Ukrainian government to negotiate with France, Germany and other countries, and signed the Minsk Agreement, which brought peace to the region. But the good times did not last long, and last year, the area began to be chaotic again.
Ukraine sent troops to suppress it, but Russia believed that negotiations should be held to avoid war, Ukraine did not listen, and the United States and other Western countries began to intervene in the problems of the region. The contradictions between Russia and Ukraine escalated, and finally turned into war on February 24.
Coca-Cola suffered
The Russian army was advancing very quickly, and soon came to the Ukrainian capital Kiev, where Zelenskiy asked for help, but NATO refused to send troops to Ukraine and rejected Ukraine's proposal a few days ago to establish a no-fly zone in the country.
The only Western aid Ukraine can get is weapons, public opinion support and economic sanctions against Russia. It has to be said that the economic sanctions imposed by Western countries against Russia are very strong and involve a very wide range, which will definitely have a great impact on Russia's economic development.
However, some Western companies have not responded to the call to sanction Russia and continue to do business in Russia, such as Coca-Cola, which has not withdrawn from Russia. However, the emergence of this phenomenon has led to great dissatisfaction among the Ukrainian people, so overnight, "take down Coca-Cola" spread throughout Ukraine.
Now in ukraine's 3 major supermarket chains, Coca-Cola can no longer be bought, Fanta, Mei Juice Source also suffered together, but Coca-Cola's rival Pepsi Cola has ushered in the opportunity to develop in Ukraine, Ukraine calls on Pepsi Cola to vigorously carry out business in Ukraine, and according to the latest news, Coca-Cola has stopped its business in Russia, I don't know if it is related to this.
However, not all Ukrainians support a boycott of Coca-Cola, for example, some netizens believe that ukraine will get nothing by forcing Coca-Cola to stop its business in Russia. They think the actions of these radical Ukrainian netizens are absurd and meaningless.
In fact, for Ukraine now, finding ways to promote peace talks is the best way to resolve the contradictions between Russia and Ukraine and stop the war. Economic sanctions are not a good idea and will only spur Russia to take further action. Russia's security interests are of paramount importance, and if it is not resolved, all will be in vain.
