Answer the following questions:
1. What is NATO? What does the acronym stand for, and what is its purpose as an organization?
2. Why does Russia have such high interest in Crimea? Why does NATO have such a high interest in the Ukraine?

4. What is a ruble?
5. Who is Vitali Klitschko?

Nato is the North Atlantic treaty organization. Russia has an in Crimea because of the Peninsula. The G8 is a group of 8 leading industrial countries. The US is sort of using the title as a threat. A ruble is the basic monetary unit of Russia and some other former republics of the Soviet Union. Vitali Klitschko is the former boxing world champion turned presidential candidate. Russia does not need to be involved in other countries business.

NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It is a cooperative military organization between the US and countries of Europe. It began after WWII as a common defense against the expansion of the Soviet Union. The treaty was also designed to encourage political, economic and social cooperation. Russia has such a high interest in Crimea because Crimea has historic links to Russia and is home to Russia's Black Sea fleet. NATO has such a high interest in the Ukraine because Ukraine occupies a vital strategic position between Europe and Russia. The G8 is the Group of Eight, the world's leading industrialized nations who meet annually to discuss global issues. The US is using it as a threat against Russia by threatening to remove Russia from the G8. A ruble is the Russian monetary unit.
ReplyDeleteVitali Klitschko is the former boxing world champion who is now a presidential candidate for the Ukraine. No, Russia does not have the right to make this move even though some of the citizens support the idea of a Russian invasion.

ReplyDeleteNATO is the Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization, that's purpose is to enforce safety and freedom. Russia has high interest in Crimea, seeing as though it has a past together. NATO is paying even more attention to it, since it may endanger citizens safety. G8 is a meeting for the governments of seven leading industrialized democracies, including Russia. The US is using this as a way for leverage. A ruble is the basic unit of currency in Russia. Vitali Klitschko is a former boxer- turned to president. Russia does not have the right to take over Kiev, because Russia is using a loophole in the system which isn't right.

ReplyDeleteNATO is North Atlantic Treaty Organization and it is there to help keep the North Atlantic area secure and safe. Russia has a high interest in Crimea because it has historical Russian value. NATO has a high interest because it is Ukraine's territory and Russia is trying to get it back, so NATO is trying to keep Crimea safe and secure. G8 is a type of country held to a special standard, very modern countries. U.S. is telling Russia that if they are a G8 country that they need to act like one. Ruble is the basic unit I Russia. Vitali Klitschko is a former boxing world champion who turned into a presidential candidate. They do not have the right to make this move because they are acting militarily and they should act politically even though they have the support of some citizens from Ukraine.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO advised Russia that they should "stop military activities and threats" against Ukraine. Russia has such a high interest on Crimea(The city they "liberated") because it is home to the Russian Black Sea fleet. NATO is so interested in the Ukraine because it is housed in-between the borders of Russia and Europe, Russian control of Ukraine would "Threaten peace and security in Europe". The G8 is a club of Nations of developed economies. Countries in the G8 include the United States of America, Britain, and Canada. Russia is also a member f this G8 club, however NATO has threatened to remove Russia from the G8 because of their actions in Ukraine. Vitali Klitschko is a former boxing world champion who is know a presidential candidate, sais "Ukraine is united and doesn't need influence from any other country." Russia doesn't have the right to make this move because of the effect it could have o nations near Ukraine.

Nato, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a military alliance between 28 countries such as, Russia and the U.S. Nato was designed to keep peace between the countries through political or military means. The Russians are interested in Crimea because it holds their Black Sea Fleet. The G8 is a group of eight countries that are the wealthiest in the world, & the U.S. is currently threatening to have Russia removed from the group. A ruble is a unit of currency common in Eastern European countries like Russia. Vitali Klitschko is a presidential candidate in Russia and former boxing world champion. Russia doesn't have the right to take territory from Ukraine without some kind of agreement between the two countries. It's Ukraine's territory, not Russia's.

NATO is a political and/or military association where they help resolve conflicts and make peace. NATO stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO's purpose as an organization is to safeguard the freedom and security of its members through political and military means. Russia has such a high interest in Crimea because it "threatens peace and security in Europe". Also, because it's the Ukrainian territory which has historic links to Russia and is home to Russia's Black Sea fleet.

ReplyDeleteThe North Atlantic Treaty Organization is an alliance based on the North Atlantic Treaty. They want peace. Russia wants Crimea because of its historical ties, and because it is home of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. NATO wants the Ukraine because it has a strategic position between Europe and Russia.
The G8 is a club of developed economies, and if Russia doesn’t stop, they may be expelled from this organization. Ruble is Russian currency. Vitali Klitschko used to be a boxing world champion, and is now a presidential candidate I don’t think they have a right to do this. They should at least attempt to do it peacefully, with no violence and no bloodshed.

The NATO have such interest in Ukraine because of its strategic positioning. The G8 is the Group of Eight, and the U.S. is using it as a threat because Russia is a member of the group. A ruble is a form of currency. Vitali Klitschko is the leader of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform, and a member of the Ukrainian Parliament. I dont think Russia should be able to take over Ukraine just because of its ties. Its almost like the Revolutionary War.
