But after weeks of fighting, the Russians withdrew, stymied by Ukrainian resistance. With Ukrainian forces outgunned and outnumbered, many military experts expect the offensive to be successful quickly. In February, Russian troops attacked the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, from the north in an attempt to overthrow the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky. The following is timeline of the Russia-Ukraine conflict that became an important moment Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been carried out since last February. However, Ukraine’s desire to join NATO now needs to be carefully considered.” Nancy Polesi as a spokeswoman for the US president argued that “NATO remains in principle, wide open to any country. Meanwhile, regarding the submission of Ukraine to join NATO, it is not entirely certain that it will go well. China has firmly criticized Western sanctions against Russia, but neither has it supported or assisted Russia in its military campaign. At least 10 countries voted in favor of the resolution, while China, Gabon, India and Brazil still abstained. US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield introduced a resolution asking member states not to recognize Ukraine’s change in status and obliging Russia to withdraw its troops, as Russia’s annexation efforts contradict UN principles. Russia vetoed UN Security Council resolutions proposed by the United States and Albania condemning Moscow’s annexation of parts of Ukraine. In response to this, the United Nations (UN) held an emergency meeting on 2 October. The annexation of 4 regions of Ukraine to become part of Russia, worried many parties. If Ukraine with NATO signifies that the beginning of the war has begun and will worsen the times ahead. If Covid 19 last year was able to weaken the economies of the world’s countries, then the Russia-Ukraine war could trigger a bigger disaster. Not only that, the crisis of natural gas and oil and wheat flour has also been felt more and more because of the Russia-Ukraine war consequence. If we remaind when the war started, some scholars related to politics and war analyze underestimated the issue of nuclear involvement in the Rusia-Ukraine conflict, but now it needs to be reconsidered. What concern today is that the threat of a third world war is becoming more and more real. This situation will obviously exacerbate the situation, not only in every war zone but will also invite other countries to be involved in the dynamics of Russia-Ukraine relations and give new chapter to the world political stage in this century. President Zelensky kept trying to defend Ukrainian territory and seeking international support, even on October 1 this month, social media was filled with the news “Ukraine Joins NATO”. If we look at the opposite side, Ukraine is no less interesting. Since the first time Vladmir Putin declared war on Ukraine until 4 regions of Ukraine (Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson) have been controlled and the referendum on joining Russia, President Putin does not seem to play with his words. Maybe the saying “starting a war is easy, but it’s hard to stop it” is true. As chess game, Russia-Ukraine are in a difficult to stop. News related to the Russo-Ukrainian war is still for public consumption and scholar nowdays.
