World Peace Please

Have you heard about the news concerning the invasion of Russia in Ukraine? They began the conflict and people residing in Ukraine are already fleeing their houses and starting to migrate to another place. The terrible aspect is that I am seeing now a lot of children who are weeping hearing some bomb blasts everywhere. In case you didn't know the reason why Russia attacked Ukraine, let me offer you a quick summary of their conflict.

Source: US News https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2022-02-24/explainer-why-did-russia-invade-ukraine Since I am a Filipino and I am also not aware of the wars years ago, I read different articles regarding this, and based on what I understand, Putin believes that Ukraine is still part of the area of Russia that is why he doesn't like it when Ukraine prepares to join the NATO, (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). NATO is a collection of 30 member nations that pledge to work together to maintain the security of the Northern Atlantic area. But because Ukraine is not a member of NATO, this alliance of countries who are members of this organization is not obliged to defend Ukraine.

Because the invasion already started, many are afflicted. The financial markets went bearish, oil and gas prices are up, the economy shrinks and of course, individuals in the impacted nations are losing their livelihoods and lost their properties, houses, and even their families. The whole world is really affected. We have no idea what more will happen in the next few days. The tension can become worse, or it might stay longer and what's worst is if World war 3 truly might happen. I also seen different opinions in Tiktok and Facebook. Some says that America is instigating the rift between the Russia and Ukraine. Some says that it is America's tactics for sure. The world is definitely different now. It used to be affluent and extremely calm before. We are still fighting a pandemic and it is following another battle between the two countries. What if the conflict merely escalated? What if other big countries also start invading weak countries? How about us, who lives in small and not so powerful countries?

But if a specific individual or set of organizations desire to create this dispute worse, how selfish are they? How could they allow this be happening? Why are not they considering the children that will be affected and will lose their rights to be in a peaceful place? People who will read this essay, let us all pray for global peace. We don't need to battle for power. We are all equal so no one has to suffer due to man's hatred and cruelty. Whoever started this invasion or war, let us all united for peace. Please, the world we live in today deserves to be peaceful. **Let us all make the world to be a better place for future generations.**
