The most fundamental reason for the political crisis in Ukraine is the profound opposition among the domestic people on the issue of "going east" or "going west". This fundamental contradiction has not been resolved, and the soil for escalating the situation in Ukraine has always existed.
Fisher said that from the analysis of demographic and geographical factors, about one-third of Ukraine's population speaks Russian, and most of them live in the eastern region near Russia, and advocate maintaining close relations with Russia; About two-thirds of the population speaks Ukrainian, mainly living in the central and western regions, and tend to be closer to the European Union.
Fisher believes that whoever is elected president will be regarded as "one of his own" by one faction and "enemy" or "spokesman" by the other faction. This opposition has never been alleviated, thus becoming a hotbed for brewing more crises. After the financial crisis worsens and the government's position suddenly changes, it is easy to ferment into political turmoil.
The background and root of the Crimean crisis;
Crimea is a multi-ethnic region dominated by Russians. The separatist groups returning to Russia are active and sensitive to Ukraine's ethnic policy, which is the crux of the political turmoil in Crimea. In the population composition of Crimea, Russians account for more than half, and Ukrainians are ethnic minorities. Therefore, the cultural influence of Russia has always been dominant. Most residents can only speak Russian, listen to Russian radio and watch Russian TV.
