At the beginning of the tensions in 2014, Russia had annexed Crimea while the separatists it backed seized part of the Donbas region, sparking a war between Ukrainian armed forces and the Russian-backed separatists. The on-going war has led to catastrophic deaths and destruction in Ukraine and resulted in the largest refugee crisis in Europe since the end of the Second World War. The conflict has led to food and energy crises with attendant rise in cost of living all over the world. After months of tensions and arms build-up along its borders, Russia finally invaded Ukraine on 24th February, 2022. Airstrikes and missiles bombarded Ukrainian cities, followed by ground invasion from the Russian and Belarusian territories. The invasion, the first of such in the 21st century, provoked anger and condemnation across the globe, especially in Europe and North America.The plausible cause of the invasion would seem to prevent Ukraine from joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO). Is it time to start negotiations ?
