Ukraine has also been hotbed between West and Russia for its abundant natural and agriculture resources as well as its geo-strategic location blessed with close proximity to Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea making it geo-strategically important for Europe and Russia equally. The Ukraine crisis has left World in a chaotic situation and endangered regional and global peace and stability. Crisis has also resulted in global food shortage and economic crisis globally and shattered the pillars of the global economy. The article articulates that only end to conflict will be by positive approach followed both by Russia and the West.
