Why Is It So Hard for Russia and Ukraine to Stop Fighting?
Hey friends! 😊 Have you ever wondered why Russia and Ukraine are still fighting? Even though many people are hoping for peace, it’s taking a long time to happen. Let’s dive in and find out why! 🌍🕊️
Recent Talks in Riyadh 🏰
Recently, leaders from different countries met in a city called Riyadh to talk about how to stop the fighting between Russia and Ukraine. But after three days of discussions, they couldn’t agree on a plan to make peace. There was no official statement at the end. 😕
Different Countries, Different Needs 🌐
Experts say that one big reason it’s hard to stop the fighting is that Russia, Ukraine, and countries like the United States all want different things.
For example, the United States wants the conflict to end soon to reduce its involvement and help people at home. Russia, on the other hand, doesn’t just want to stop the fighting. They also want to solve other problems, like concerns about NATO (a group of countries that work together on defense) moving closer to Russia. 🛡️
Deep Divisions 😔
Another expert, Professor Cui Hongjian, says that Russia and Ukraine still have big disagreements. Ukraine is worried that if the United States and Russia make a deal, it might hurt Ukraine’s interests. Russia wants to use a ceasefire to get other things it wants, like having some sanctions (special rules that limit what a country can do) lifted. This makes Ukraine even more worried. 😟
Ongoing Fighting 🔥
The fighting between Russia and Ukraine is still happening. This shows that neither side is ready to stop yet. Professor Cui says that a temporary pause in fighting isn’t enough. For real peace, both sides need to agree on bigger issues and find a way to get along in the future. 🌅
Why Is Peace So Hard? 🤔
Analysts think that it’s difficult to make peace because there’s a lot of distrust between the countries. They have different demands, and the situation is very complicated.
One expert, Kang Jie, believes that peace talks haven’t worked so far because not everyone’s concerns are being listened to. He thinks that for real peace, all the countries involved need to come together and talk openly about their worries. 💬
What Can Be Done? 🚀
Experts suggest that instead of just relying on one country to help with peace talks, it’s better if Russia and Ukraine talk directly to each other. They also think that other countries in Europe should help in a positive way, encouraging both sides to find common ground. 🤝
The Road Ahead 🛣️
Right now, it seems like there’s still a long way to go before Russia and Ukraine can stop fighting for good. But many people around the world are hoping for peace, and maybe one day soon, the leaders will find a way to make that happen. Keep your fingers crossed! ✌️🌈
