14 Important Events happened in Year 2022

1. FIFA 2022            

                 

2. Tribute to the Greatest Football Player

4. Russian and Ukraine War

Russia invaded Ukraine border due to the fact that Ukraine showed its interest  to join NATO and European Union.
On 24 Feb 2022, Putin ordered Russian army to enter into Ukraine. Situation could have been fatal and opened doors for 3rd World War, however, got restricted to these two countries. 
Earlier, Ukraine sought help from NATO, but NATO instead helped Ukraine by providing them arms, ammunitions, money, training, etc.


After 10 months of Russia-Ukraine war, there hasn't been no outcome yet. There are no signs of cease fire that can be foreseen as of yet.

As a result of the war, Oil and Natural gas prices have gone up, which has raised up the cost of living of common people across world.


The bright part of this war is, this has been only restricted to only 2 countries until now and the possibility of 3rd world war has been ruled out.


It’s presumed that in 2023, both countries would probably look forward to sort out this war situation by the way of peace talks.
