Why Ukraine is trapped in endless conflict

The ceasefire is completely ignored.
Correction: In a previous version, the Russian Empire at 2:31 did not include Finland and northern Kazakhstan and at 2:34 the map mistakenly depicted the Warsaw Pact members, not the Soviet Union.
At 2:03 the Minsk II agreement refers to the separatist enclaves as "certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine" not the DPR and LPR.

The present conflict in Ukraine started in 2014. Today, there are 100,000 fighters stationed in the country, making it one of the most heavily militarized regions in the world. In Ukraine's east, Ukrainian forces are engaged in a struggle with Russian-backed separatists.
A ceasefire was called in 2015, with a security zone established that was meant to foster peace. However, today the security zone remains one of the most violent places in the Ukraine. With over 10,000 deaths to date, and over 1.5 million civilians displaced, the cost of ignoring the ceasefire continues to mount by the day. And both sides are still building up their forces.
To truly understand the international conflicts and trends shaping our world you need a big-picture view. Video journalist Sam Ellis uses maps to tell these stories and chart their effects on foreign policy.

NATO has expanded and is no suprise that Russia doesn't want a U.S. army base on its border and is willing to support another countries internal conflict to stop that from happening.

i like the map of Ukraine at the beginning of the video that determine Kuban and Krasnodar within ukrainian integrity. it's best illustration of a turning point where act of genocide conducted by soviets starved millions of innocent ukrainians and which later was replaced by russians. At that time russian was considered a foreign language and everything russian was treated same way.

I didn't get the *why it is trapped in an endless conflict*. Not enough information. I mean, I understand why, following a bit of all this since the beginning, being a Russian in Ukraine and all, but this was just a shallow recap, not an explanation.

[@job-yw5hm]

Sadly, when historical background is lacking, you can't really achieve proper explanation. For foreigners this is what they *need* to know to understand the terminology used in the current conflict. It simply isn't Vox's style to create a 20-60 minute video explaining the historical context to things. They could've explained without historical context, but that would have led to opinions that will more often be wrong than not. video title is clickbaity though, I agree with that.

Ukrainian oligarchs tried to make new government and 2013 protests were organized to them. Oligarchs are trying to get business in Donetsk by killing locals ( mostly Russian speaking). And Russian army gives supply and people to help locals. Ukrainian and Russian armies tried reach an agreement to stop the fire but Ukrainian army failed many times.

Газопроводы уже давно обходят Украину (их только достроить нужно). За все время существования газовая система транспортировки ни разу не ремонтировалась.

[@Arnyc1]

Well not that it wasn't one of the problems, but we are getting more and more gas from LNG and also we already have the nord stream so we can buy directly from russia. So I'm pretty sure it's really not the main point...

[@iraqilobster2925]

Arnyc1 nordstream2 not finished yet or is it ?

[@user-ex7qn4tx5h]

Конфликт начался не из-за газа, а из-за свержения Януковича с законной должности без каких-либо процедур присущих демократической стране (силовым путем). Переворот поддержали страны Запада таки как Германия, Франция, Британия и конечно США. (Польша в том числе и ряд прибалтийских стран). Конфликт начался из=за того что часть страны не согласилась с таким положением дел и поняла что в такой стране им делать ничего (стране где власть нарушает свои же принципы, конституцию и т.д.). В итоге люди решили провести вполне обычный ДЕМОКРАТИЧЕСКИЙ РЕФЕРЕНДУМ на котором решили что они являются отдельной страной от Украины (отметим что голосовали именно жители данных регионов).. После положительного решения (то есть ЗА выход из состава Украины) власть отправила войска на подавления (власть - Украинское государство которое на тот момент было обезглавлено так как президент отсутствовал, а Киев был фактический захвачен протестующими, как и все правительство). В результате часть отправленных ВОЙСК встало на стороны так называемых "Российских войск". После этого на Донбасс стали отправлять войска с отрядами националистов которые пресекали попытки перехода на другую стороны и в основном они и стреляют по городом Донецка и Луганска. Именно такие силы как Правый Сектор или Свобода которые показаны в этом видео как "обычные политические силы" используют людей которые вооружены и не являются частями Армии Украины (не являлись на тот момент), а по факту обычные нацисты. На счету этих выродков множество преступлений (часть которые OSCE задокументировала), Азов например прославился множеством пыток и других не очень хороших действий. Эти люди даже не соблюдают правила ведения войны, но при этом тут они выглядят как АНГЕЛЫ которые борются на свободы страны. При этом это называют войной с Россией, хотя никакой России там нету, я больше чем уверен что около 40 процентов жителей Украины поступила бы также. Но в страны жесткая цензура, журналистов убивают разными способами (от взрыва в машине, до падения или стрельбы). В такой ситуации сказать об отделении равносильно подписанию смертного приговора. Вот почему я написал ранее что информация тут явно сжата и упрощена для создания в вашей голове простых мыслей. Украина - добрые парни что борются за свою страны. Россия- злые коммунисты что пытаются вернуть СССР обратно. На самом деле все намного сложнее. Украина - это сейчас именно те люди что захватили страны, а теперь убивают тех кто считает что это было незаконно. А что если бы у вас в стране пришла куча "соотечественников" и сказала бы следующее: "Это незаконное правительство и мы его свергаем". Тут два варианта 1. вы голосовали на ЭТО правительство и ваша тчока зрения состоит в том что ваш голос также имеет силу, не так ли ? По какому праву эта горстка людей считает себя главней тех что проголосовали ? Вот люди из ДНР и ЛНР думали именно так. Они были несогласны с результатами Революции и не признавали власть которая села на эти места по собственному желанию. Такой процесс обычно называют революцией и при них допустим раскол страны на несколько частей. То есть есть согласные и не согласные. Таким образом все вполне легально. 2. Тут вы ЗА. Вы один из тех кто всем недоволен. Вы стоите на пощаде в толпе и думаете что все правильно ("Ох, как нас тут много", "прямо вся страна против этого Диктатора" и другие мысли появляются в вашей голове). Вы конечно не думаете о других людях что живут не в Киеве и то что десять или пятнадцать тысяч человек просто не могут представлять 40 миллионную страну. Вы поддаетесь стадному инстинкту и убираете власть (можно даже сказать что ведете себя как стадо баранов). Ну и что ? Смена власти прошла, Неугодных людей убрали ... И что ? Да ничего.. В итоге вы у разбитого корыта. Страна трещит по швам и гражданская война. Почему так ? НУ а вы вспомните начало второго пункта. Вы стоите на площади и убираете власть которая держит эту страну, соблюдает закон страны. Разрушив систему власти вы меняете государство, вы меняете законы (предварительно нарушив их). По сути вы создаете новое государство из старого. Вы же хотели обновлений ? Вот вам что-то новенькое... Правда у власти те же олигархи, жить стало еще хуже, ВВП упал по сравнению с 2013 годом, да еще и война с собственными людьми что несогласны с вами. Куча кредитов для МВФ и повышения тарифов. Так кто в этом виноват ? Те что соблюдали закон и поступили по законы увидев что творится в их стране (провели референдум и спросили мнения людей проживающих там, даже когда Украина разрушилась !!!!), или те что отдали власть в руки преступникам которых посадили туда с помощью других стран (предателей). Решайте сами, я лишь описал это.
