#3 Ukraine War

Hello and welcome back to my blog! 😄

Today's topic is the war between Ukraine and Russia. 

Now if you don't feel comfortable reading about it then don't continue reading. 

Recently in one of my geography classes, my teacher helped us to understand what was really going on between Russia and Ukraine. But first, can I just say: this war is really stupid. Many people will die and many will be badly injured. Families will lose their fathers or husbands and even their mothers or daughters. Have we not learnt anything from World War 1 & 2?

So basically, what what my teacher told my class is this: (now don't quote me on this, as it could be wrong). Russia invaded Ukraine because Russia thought that Ukraine was getting too friendly with it's neighboring countries that are part of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). And Russia thought that Ukraine was going to invade Russia so Russia decided to invade Ukraine first. (Which is kinda silly, when you think about it this way).

Anyways, now if Russia does successfully invade Ukraine then this would mean a World War 3, as the countries part of NATO  (including the US and the UK) will help Ukraine. But Russia is friendly with China, so if there is a World War 3, then China might take Russia's side. And that is bad because China is huge and makes most of our everyday products.

But, World War 3 hasn't started yet. And there are many things that we can do to help! For example, my school is having a pajama mufti day, where everyone brings in a gold coin donation to help children in Ukraine. And you could do something today, by spreading world about peace and generally being kind and helpful to others. 

A helpful resource is this website from UNICEF. Take some time to read it and maybe even donate some money! :)
