The History and Impact of the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine

Abstract

Since February 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has attracted a lot of attention. Many researchers have analyzed and predicted this. The conflict has not stopped, and the subsequent actions and measures of Russia, the European Union, the United States and other countries and regions will also bring great changes to the world's political, economic, and cultural exchanges. Starting with the historical origins of the conflict between the two countries, this study examined how the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has deepened step by step. Then, based on game theory, this study explored the reasons for Russia's decision and the consequences of such a decision. To solve this conflict, all countries and regions should put aside their opposition, establish a win-win sense, and find solutions to the problem through negotiation, exchange and trust. Major international organizations should also play a more active role in this process and assist in communication and coordination.
