Tensions are increasing between Russia and the Ukraine

When the world turns away from Russia and Ukraine, at the stroke of a pen it has been reported that 50,000 Ukrainians have been drafted as Russian warns of the return to a scenario of force. This scaremongering has forced Ukrainians to take drastic steps to secure their future, and to stand up against Russia.

According to ZeroHedge, “And with a stroke of his pen, Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko signs a decree that mobilizes up to 50,000 “healthy men and women” aged 25 to 60 to the frontlines in Eastern Ukraine”.

It has also been reported that the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has issued a decree mobilizing 50,000 servicemen to the frontline in eastern Ukraine.  Those eligible will receive notice papers calling them to service as soon as the Ukrainian parliament approves the measure.  The Ministry of Defence plans to draft healthy men and women, especially those with military experience. Tank operators, artillerymen, reconnaissance scouts and messengers aged 25 to 60 are in high demand.

However, Volodymyr Talalay, a Ukrainian Major General said, “We are not planning to draft untrained men for positions that require military efficiency. Military leaders are looking for those who have already been in the army or those who can serve within civilian professions.”

Whilst this goes on, Russia has made a decision to stop all gas flowing to Europe through Ukraine. This has started to cause a shift towards war. The EU has already refused to lift the sanctions on Russia, while the price of the Ruble falling and causing misery and strife amongst its. This has only served to encourage Putin to take more extreme actions. It has also led to Russia making a declaration of war, and this is only the beginning. Furthermore, both the Ukrainian government and the pro-Russian forces have accused each other of being behind the rocket attack, which has recently taken place without the eyes from the world press.

Therefore, from all of the evidence surrounding us, we can clearly see war is looming, and the onset of a coming oil collapse has started to stir tensions on a global scale, reducing the markets down to 3%. Due to this, the economy has started to feel the pinch, with the energy crisis and other global factors turning this whole scenario into a hot war zone. We can only wait and see what will happen next. But for the moment, it doesn’t look good.
