     According to the following article, the president of Ukraine demands immediate resolution over the conflictive situation between Russian rebels and Ukrainian forces. The president also alerts particularly to the Russian president Vladimir Putin to withdraw the troops from the Ukrainian border and establish immediate, unconditional ceasefire. He also emphasized that, this is a crime against humanity that had been taken 5400 casualties since the beginning of the conflict. The article concludes this by prioritizing France and Germany to take action to end the conflict between the two nations, ultimately making Ukraine an peaceful nation and cease the ongoing massive destruction over innocent civilians.  

     This article about the two nations in conflict can be related to the horror of World War II. In related to the chaotic disaster which took place in the late 1930's to mid 1940's, German forces had the same abstract idea and purpose as Russia. While Germany was trying expand their territorial boundaries back in the day, Russia is basically aiming to do the same aspect which is trying to capture a part of Ukraine which used to be part of the Soviet Union. During World War II, Nazi Germans had the same ideology not considering about casualties as well as extend the German occupied land as much as possible. Similarly, Russia uses some tactics conceptual methods to invade Crimea to establish authority over the pro-Russian city.

      There was also a documentary I have watched a while ago and it was based on the 1950's Korean War. This can also be equivalent to the news article because in the 1950's the North Koreans and South Koreans were trying to expand each other's territory. This has the basic analogy which is also occurring today between Russia and Ukraine. Earlier, North and South Korea were once one big country until a massive civil war which led the nation into two separate nations. The events that occurred in the Korean War is very similar to the conflict of Russia and Ukraine today due to the fact that Ukraine was once part of Russia (both were under the part of the soviet union) and then divided into two different nations and now Russia wanting a part of Ukraine back under Russian legislation.
