Why is Russia attacking Ukraine? While the countries share a complex history, experts Putin's reason to invade is quite simple.
CHICAGO -- As Russian forces invade his home country of Ukraine, Northwestern University professor Yohann Petrovsky-Shtern worries about his family back home. They have all taken shelter including his 88-year-old mother.
Petrovsky-Shtern said Putin is trying to rewrite the end of the Cold War, which lasted between the then-United Soviet Socialist Republics, or USSR, and the United Sates from 1945 to 1990. "But Ukraine's independent culture and language goes back for centuries," Petrovsky-Shtern explained."You had nationalist movements in the Ukraine in the 1800s against the czars."Elizabeth Shackelford with the Chicago Council of Global Affairs said Putin is choosing to ignore hundreds of years of independent Ukraine history.
