Digital Pulse of Conflict: Economic and Sentiment Analysis of the Russia-Ukraine War¶

By¶

Imonikhe Ayeni¶

Introduction¶

Global businesses were gradually recovering from the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic when a new crisis struck: the Russia-Ukraine war. On February 22, 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia dominated headlines across the globe, bringing with it far-reaching consequences for economies and businesses worldwide. The war has devastated Ukraine’s economy, forcing the closure of countless businesses and causing widespread destruction. Russia, too, has faced significant economic repercussions as a result of the conflict.

The effects of the war have not been confined to the immediate region. Countries around the world, from Europe to Africa, to Asia and Australia, have experienced disruptions in agriculture, energy supplies, stock markets, and other sectors (Towey et al., 2022; Beaubien, 2022). As the conflict continues, global leaders and the public alike are divided in their responses, with some viewing the war as a means to gain economic and political power, while others decry its devastating impact.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter (X), Reddit and Instagram have become battlegrounds for public opinion, where individuals express their views on the war and its consequences. This paper, completed in 2023, utilizes Python-driven machine learning and artificial intelligence models to analyze public sentiment regarding the conflict and to assess its economic implications for Russia and global businesses. The findings of this paper aim to provide insights that could serve as a policy check for leaders who view war as a viable means of achieving political and economic objectives.

Aims and Objectives¶

The aim of this research is to leverage Python-based analytics to analyze social media sentiment and assess the business and economic implications of the Russia-Ukraine war. The specific objectives are:

  1. To identify and implement Python-based tools for scraping and analyzing social media data, particularly from Twitter and Reddit.

  2. To evaluate public sentiment polarity towards the Russia-Ukraine war by applying sentiment analysis models on social media data.

  3. To analyze the degree of sentiment convergence and divergence between Twitter and Reddit users regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

  4. To assess the economic and business impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, with a focus on Russia and Ukraine, using insights derived from social media sentiment and external economic datasets.

Methodology:¶

This study employed Twint and SNScrape to collect data from Twitter and Reddit, with additional economic data sourced from a Kaggle dataset. Approximately 11,000 tweets from Twitter and 11,000 comments from Reddit were scraped for analysis. The data collection period spanned from January 2022 to April 2023 to cover the critical phases of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, though some dates were excluded during data cleaning due to duplicates.

Data Collection: Social Media Data (Twitter and Reddit):

To avoid temporal bias, data scraping for general Twitter users was divided into six time periods. This time-based segmentation helped capture sentiment trends over the duration of the war, ensuring that the dataset was representative of evolving public opinion. The search parameters included terms like "Russia Ukraine war," "war in Ukraine," "Russia invades Ukraine," and "Ukraine war." This comprehensive dataset is available here

Data Cleaning and Analysis: The scraped data underwent several preprocessing steps, including removing duplicates, handling missing values, and normalizing text. Sentiment analysis was performed using three main tools:

NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit): Used for text preprocessing, tokenization, and stopword removal. TextBlob: Applied for basic sentiment polarity scoring, providing initial sentiment classification (positive, neutral, negative). Vader Sentiment Analyzer: Employed for fine-grained sentiment analysis, particularly for social media text, which often contains informal language, slang, and emoticons.

Analytical Approach: Evaluating overall sentiment trends across different time periods to assess how public opinion shifted throughout the conflict. These methods provided insights into both public sentiment and the broader economic impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war.

TWITTER: SENTIMENT ANALYSIS OF RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR¶

In [ ]:
#First phase of web scrapping, February to April 2022
Feb_Apr = []

for i,tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('Russia-Ukraine war since:2022-02-01 until:2022-04-30').get_items()):
    if i>2000:
      break
    else:
        if tweet.lang=='en':
          Feb_Apr.append([tweet.date, tweet.content, tweet.url, tweet.likeCount, tweet.retweetCount])

Feb_Apr = pd.DataFrame(Feb_Apr, columns=['Date', 'Text', 'URL', 'Like Count', 'Retweet Count'])

Explaining the code

  • Feb_Apr = []: An empty list called Feb_Apr is initialized. This will store the scraped tweet data.

  • for i,tweet in enumerate(sntwitter.TwitterSearchScraper('Russia-Ukraine war since:2022-02-01 until:2022-04-30').get_items()):

    1. This line begins a loop that scrapes tweets using the snscrape library.
    2. The loop uses the TwitterSearchScraper class, which takes a query string as an argument.
    3. The query is 'Russia-Ukraine war since:2022-02-01 until:2022-04-30', meaning it will search for tweets containing "Russia-Ukraine war" posted between February 1, 2022, and April 30, 2022.
    4. get_items() is a method that retrieves the scraped tweets.
    5. The enumerate() function is used to keep track of the index (i) as well as the tweet object (tweet) in each iteration of the loop.
  • if i > 2000: break: This condition limits the number of tweets to 2000. If the index i exceeds 2000, the loop breaks (stops), preventing the collection of more than 2000 tweets.

  • else: if tweet.lang == 'en' This checks if the tweet’s language is English ('en'). If it is, the tweet is processed further. Non-English tweets are ignored.

  • Feb_Apr.append([tweet.date, tweet.content, tweet.url, tweet.likeCount, tweet.retweetCount]): If the tweet is in English, the relevant data is appended to the Feb_Apr list. The data collected includes:

  1. tweet.date: The date when the tweet was posted.
  2. tweet.content: The text/content of the tweet.
  3. tweet.url: The URL of the tweet.
  4. tweet.likeCount: The number of likes the tweet received.
  5. tweet.retweetCount: The number of retweets.
  • Feb_Apr = pd.DataFrame(Feb_Apr, columns=['Date', 'Text', 'URL', 'Like Count', 'Retweet Count']): The list Feb_Apr is converted into a pandas DataFrame for easier data manipulation and analysis. The columns are named: 'Date', 'Text', 'URL', 'Like Count', and 'Retweet Count'.

Data Cleaning¶

Slice date and take out time portion

In [ ]:
war_tweet['Date'] = war_tweet.Date.str.slice(0, 10)

Code Explanation

war_tweet['Date'] =:

This updates the Date column in the war_tweet DataFrame with a modified version of the dates. war_tweet.Date.str.slice(0, 10):

The .str.slice(0, 10) method is a string operation applied to the Date column. It slices (extracts) the first 10 characters from each date string.

Sentiment Analysis¶

Perform sentiment analysis on the Text column of the war_tweet DataFrame using both the TextBlob library (for polarity and subjectivity) and the VADER sentiment analysis tool from the nltk library (for detailed sentiment scoring). By combining both Textblob and Vader, the analysis provides a more comprehensive understanding of public sentiment towards the Russia-Ukraine war.

In [ ]:
war_tweet[['polarity', 'subjectivity']] = war_tweet['Text'].apply(
    lambda Text: pd.Series(TextBlob(Text).sentiment))

for index, row in war_tweet['Text'].iteritems():
    score = SentimentIntensityAnalyzer().polarity_scores(row)
    neg = score['neg']
    neu = score['neu']
    pos = score['pos']
    comp = score['compound']

    if neg > pos:
       war_tweet.loc[index, 'sentiment'] = "negative"
    elif pos > neg:
       war_tweet.loc[index, 'sentiment'] = "positive"
    else:
       war_tweet.loc[index, 'sentiment'] = "neutral"

    war_tweet.loc[index, 'neg'] = neg
    war_tweet.loc[index, 'neu'] = neu
    war_tweet.loc[index, 'pos'] = pos
    war_tweet.loc[index, 'compound'] = comp

Code Explanation

  1. TextBlob Sentiment Analysis:
  • .apply(lambda Text: pd.Series(TextBlob(Text).sentiment)): This applies the sentiment analysis to each row in the Text column. The sentiment output is returned as a tuple (polarity, subjectivity), which is converted into a pandas Series, splitting the values into two columns.

  • war_tweet[['polarity', 'subjectivity']] =: The resulting polarity and subjectivity scores are stored in new columns named polarity and subjectivity.

  1. VADER Sentiment Analysis: This section of the code uses VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner) from nltk to perform more nuanced sentiment analysis.
  • for index, row in war_tweet['Text'].iteritems():: Loops through each row in the Text column, with index representing the row index and row containing the tweet text.
  • score = SentimentIntensityAnalyzer().polarity_scores(row): The SentimentIntensityAnalyzer().polarity_scores(row) method from VADER calculates sentiment scores. The result is a dictionary with four components:

Calculate the total percentage of Positive, Negative, and Neutral tweets

total_tweets = len(war_tweet)
print("Total Positive Tweets % : {:.2f}"

['russia has less than zero percent chance doing even remotely okay potential world war scenario russia would make italy ww2 look like unstoppable army destruction any person thats so disillusioned misinformed think country with economy smaller then texas thats cannibalizing washing machines make weapons would be match united states is missing significant part their prefrontal cortex russia is burying thousands upon thousands its troops ukraine right now slaughtered by left over weapons that u s has had sitting storage 40 years russia will be fucking lucky if they manage escape this war with means still run middling corrupt country extreme poverty',
 'gt geopolitics isnt game it doesnt care about morals point is if ukraine is gonna be western then russia is going have legitimate existential threat if youre okay with that then war it is if you want peace just take l let ukraine be russian puppet it honestly wouldnt affect most world course you would say this as american because most you have never seen world simply believe whatever tucker carlson or whoever latest tv personality is tells you beleive naturally you think russia invading another european country imperialist expansionism with threat nuclear retaliation against any outside interference doesnt affect rest world geography lesson buddy i live one most advanced economies world which sells some most advanced weapons technology your government uses we are set become one premier producers rare earth elements essential electric car storage market front lines this war are closer me than drive dallas juarez if russia absorbs ukraine then entire international order which has fostered one most peaceful periods human history is out window any country with nuclear arsenal can invade annex territory china can invade taiwan vietnam korea mongolia wherever it wants if they think their nuclear weapons will keep america responding my country will likely restart nuclear weapons program if we dont get into nato ensure our own protection nuclear weapons will start proliferating nations not large military alliances as means self protection nations arent spheres influence post cold war school realism is 19th century ideology which does not work digital world mass communication transnational cooperation like eu african union etc',
 'explain how ukraine taking russian territory would start ww3 cmon sick tired you bozos your escalation bullshit it makes literally no fucking sense its like you pretending both countries have both agreed special military operation or sum stupid shit not actual total fucking war',
 'your last four link submissions reddit have been link one yet here you are boldly proclaiming gt stop being manipulated by these state actors when most what you do reddit seems be pushing state actor narratives with state actor sources',
 'gt you also countered support topic something way more random that i even didn t know about multiple invasions crimea youre not even going pretend that you know topic youre arguing russia invaded twice before current war got going which is most basic aspect this war you should understand before going into your absolute garbage takes',
 'very well written everything you say is correct i agree that civ should represent people not state but i disagree with rome i think you dont see one consequences following statement roman identity would eventually dissipate into ethnicities we know today france spain italy so basically were adding same civ twice once form which it existed 8th century bc 7th century ad once various forms which it existed 7th century ad modern day we already have romans aoe2 they are fragmented different forms spanish italians franks me it feels like adding soviet union same game as russia ukraine kazakhstan pick one if your game is about cold war go with former if your game is contemporary setting go with latter aoe2 is about period roughly corresponding 4th century 16th century italians spanish fit lot better than romans i dont like romans burgundians sicilians aoe2 i dont like usa mexico aoe3',
 'yeah i guess withholding aid ukraine being putin s pocket is much better international relations trump started trade war with china benefit no one had whole thing about covid being chinese attack world it s funny how shallow predictable conservative criticism is does it get tiring have such frail grasp reality or is ignorance really bliss like they say',
 'wow i didnt realize you were full blown pro russia conspiracies nut i love how folks who only know about ukraine russian propaganda think that us government forced tens thousands ukrainians camp out maiden square months throughout winter protesting murders jounalists authoritarian polices russian puppet its amazing how us coup involved us convincing yanukovych resign flee russia then take back his resignation then had rada thats parliment voted 328 0 remove him office being unfit unable continue his duties try listening some real ukrainians who you are advocating be murdered by war criminals russia stop being mindless stooge crying out loud',
 'stop being silly homeland love is nothing do with your governent actions its common sense my friend topic is not about donations or war ukraine but hypocricy individuals',
 'alright i ll bite i don t support nazism period not sure how that wasn t clear you however lesser two evils here is clearly ukraine anyone with any humanity whole point is it doesn t matter how many there are if they re not ones here committing what is considered many genocide causing hundreds thousands people die hundreds war crimes civilians displacing millions billions damage disrupting world trade potentially causing world war 3 must i continue it doesn t matter anyways neo nazis aren t even reason russia invaded first place it s just what russian government wants you believe',
 'must be nice being as deluded as you are china has been very clear its own people who they support war russian narrative russian propaganda is spread within chinas border maybe ask yourself why china is pretending be peace one hand saying russia has right take ukraine other even going as far as purposely lie about russian atrocities ukrainians i guess that you it doesnt matter you are just here lie un chinas behalf',
 'tabloids are also responsible covid global warming war ukraine s',
 'observer that travels russia talk with putin person takes smiling pictures handshaking him amidst threats war high tensions worldwide saying putin seeks peace imo that s lot worse directly insinuates support but each their own gt didn t try pressure ukraine into surrendering neither did lula peace talks is not saying ukraine surrender especially since he said russia should not keep territory they took ukraine any kind peace talk is seen more as russia s defeat than anything else',
 'gt why would egypt be willing give up their air defenses greece is much more closely aligned with nato us ukraine yet they wont part with any without having replacement place first egypt doesnt have any major air based threats libyas middle civil war israel is something resembling friendly sudan is midst civil war both jordan saudi arabia are relatively friendly by contrast greece is seriously overmatched by its much larger wealthier neighbor turkey who has been fairly aggressive its foreign policy has claims many greek islands this is same reason why greece isnt particularly interested giving up its fleet leopard tanks either why it was hesitant donate even old beaten up bmp 1s their security situation is pretty tense',
 'yeah this is going save shitload lives frontline this might be one most significant shifts war attrition if ua can start producing these en masse right now according tatarigama ua russians are flushing out defenders with expendables dead men walking charge ua position they all die but elite non mobik proper ru army soldiers watch whole thing scope out ua defenders position hit it with mortars artillery it costs whole ru squad maybe dozen guys maybe wipe out 1 2 ua defenders but its how theyre getting ground i e bakhmut amp this would be extremely different because operator would be hidden could be nestled deep explosive proof bunker dugout ru could wipe out gun but its much harder kill than human its just cost few thousand dollars this could shift casualty ratio which is already well ukraines favor be much steeper someone can sneak up at night replace gun besides you can have multiple ones covering each others line attack nastiest thing is if its wired like stugna you cant jam it you cant see wire until youre right top it so you cant trace it either amp reason this matters so much is that what i just described defense is overwhelmingly source like 80 90 ukraines casualties machine like this could massively cut down that offense is bit different needs different tools like ifvs but this matters so much because this pushes war attrition into being absolutely unwinnable russia it just locks out russia taking more territory',
 'any real civil war you need significant portion military your side they can distribute small arms rapidly took like day ukraine give all kiev aks hell south had half country major portions army defect they still had their asses handed them this theoretical untested benefit 2nd amendment is not worth horrible social costs actually it was tested people who rebelled against tyranny government wanted own other humans as property very cool very helpful',
 'international relations are so good russia started war ukraine china is escalating tensions but hey they can sign their signature bills they qualify job',
 'don t you find though non these nations now making declarations odd fact they didn t make them before year later immediately usa as well as china wanted nations pick side profess that lines are being harder drawn sand longer this goes as resources war are needed sustain war both sides it does force charters nations put up or shut up we are now living time where entire globes future is going war more than countries gdp we have passed points natural resources sustain globe 8bn people water alone much longer everything living needs water my friend exist everything made needs water do it tech needs water be used it is fast depleting peoples existence period is what s at stake here until tech can quantum entangle us water or three dee print us all water we have gravely large eminent issue address globe wide me this stage was going be set no matter what i do find error ecuador saying there were no threats found that russia had engage this way but iirc it was putin who said no way war heads being placed ukraine pointed at them or china or any other nation reachable by those warheads had they been placed ukraine begin with warheads ukraine may not be threat say ecuador but neighbors who live next door that may take that as threat no one likes be receiving end perceived encroachments everyone takes measures when they believe they are being encroached upon',
 'yeah if you had followed war you would know how stupid you are i mean there were plenty individuals combatants non combatants over ukraine who are asking money using things like tik tok reddit if you go over r ukraine you can see how many people are still asking individuals give them money support so if people werent giving them money they wouldnt still be doing this you also have american organizations like unicef usa red cross world vision project cure which are funded by americans individuals tax dollars then extreme side you have individuals who went over are fighting as independent contractors i guess i dont know what word is that so plenty people their right mind are donating help people ukraine still i have no idea where you got that opinion but ukraine have gotten plenty american dollars help american individuals',

experienced military analyst went east see war with his own eyes it left him both hopeful worried ukrainian counter offensive has real chance coming months he assesses but chance is short lived may not come again most military analysts observe war distance so did rob lee until he realized it wasnt enough there is lot that you cannot understand at all when you are sitting far away he says interview with berlingske therefore few months ago american military researcher took matters into his own hands as part small delegation he traveled east hottest part front town bakhmut which russian forces have been unsuccessfully trying capture more than eight months he met ukrainian soldiers whose positions were under relentless russian fire he heard reports shortage ammunition respond with area is admittedly not representative entire front line says rob lee telephone interview but it was rough these people it was very rough he says soldiers bakhmut he mentions it now because situation there says something about what many are impatiently waiting these weeks ukraines long announced counter offensive if you want understand how decisive it will be you have realize how scarcity ammunition risks limiting ukraines options slightly longer term therefore ukraines best chance is now says rob lee winter war failed rob lee is himself former marine now senior researcher at us foreign policy research institute when war broke out he had studied russian defense policy number years since then he has analyzed russian invasion so closely that he has amassed over 600 000 followers twitter right now he is watching signs that offensive is starting because many ways time is favorable ukraine first it is clear that russias winter offensive has failed russian generals stand with minimal gains exchange catastrophic losses soldiers at still untaken cities such as vuhledar bakhmut offensive potential russians is quite degraded even if they take bakhmut we know that ukrainians are holding back resources offensive it is one that will be decisive says rob lee at same time ukraine has spent winter spring building new units first time several brigades are made up predominantly soldiers who have been trained use western weapons armor artillery this means that ukraine has built up enough combat power them succeed they will be able break through russian lines predicts rob lee question is how far they can go rivals behind russian lines rob lee points hundreds kilometers minefields trenches artillery positions that russians have built along current front line we must not underestimate how difficult it is cross minefields defensive lines i think they will make progress but i dont know how big that progress will be he says one biggest unknowns equation is what russian generals have learned their previous setbacks autumn russian lines collapsed outside kharkiv north shortly afterwards russians had make humiliating retreat city kherson south we know that they have built stronger defensive lines but decisive factor will be whether they are also able make decisions real time if ukraine exploits their weak points says rob lee unlike autumn it is now russian defense chief valeriy gerasimov who is at head invasion ukraine but russians are struggling with internal rivalries poor communication between mercenaries wagner group regular russian troops much will depend ability russian forces coordinate between various units south i wouldnt be surprised if they run into big problems here he says time is now thus coming weeks months may prove be ukrainians best chance recapture occupied territories this is not least due access ammunition us has delivered around 1 5 million 155mm artillery shells ukraine while eu countries have promised one million but consumption is also enormous just maintain current lines ukrainian politicians have previously said that countrys forces fire between 6 000 8 000 artillery shells day equivalent almost quarter million month need during offensive may be much greater already now stocks many western countries are running low these deliveries will not continue at same level later year several countries have started new production but we will not see results until 2024 2025 says rob lee ukrainian top officials have also made no secret fact that recent months they have been saving grenades order build up critical mass offensive also frontline town bakhmut february march forces were withheld artillery shells were withheld so soldiers holding positions were very difficult situation says rob lee it

 'gt that was done above one definition war was provided you ignored other definitions war going so far as differentiate other definitions as being figurative while first is literal that is not argument it does not define literal war that is you unilaterally manipulating definitions your own ends arbitrarily deciding what is isn t literal war i asked clarification you gave none gt i would argue it s same reasons us engaged police actions that everyone recognizes as war most modern countries have legal social frameworks that make wars difficult deal with social atmosphere international community has been hostile wars since ww2 so countries try find different ways sell idea allies enemies their own populace with differing levels success sensible thought bless let s see if it continues gt you re still actively waging war against country even if you are invading protect their citizens well you had good run first off it s not invading if you are invited yes russia stepped over line actually did cross into ukrainian held administered territory this is aspect russia s actions i disagree with they have since returned just defending territory claimed by separatists as far as half belligerent parties are concerned they are not currently invading if ukraine wants claim otherwise this is matter negotiating table diplomacy not continuing wage war i stand by statement that if ukraine did not engage hostilities separatist soil there would be no conflict gt you ll notice that despite us officially calling those police actions no one actually buys those lines it s vietnam war not vietnam police action just as it s russian ukranian war not special military operation these are semantic distinctions that are addressed your one salient paragraph us is quite fond manipulating definitions their own ends as far as us is concerned it s not war unless it is declared by congress so they go around that by issuing temporary use force military actions at discretion commander chief skirt this rhetorical hurdle ukraine russia conflict is different sort distinction because it comes down who is actively engaging hostilities whose land russian perspective they are defending ally their land are thus not engaged war them if ukraine attacks them defending that is ukraine being aggressor this is debatable state affairs but it is still reality perspective within conflict gt russia was absolutely doing more than just defending donbas we all saw them try go kyiv they don t even have all donbas they re still trying capture it we all saw them park 20 miles outside kiev then call negotiations then leave outside kiev without ever trying take it as sign good faith negotiations it s genuinely confounding how readily people ignore those facts gt perspective ukraine most west seperatists donbas were actively armed supported by russia before any conflict broke out no one acknowledges that russia is acting defensive role donbas because it s seen as russian sponsored invasion this is why not west has had about enough west their claims separatists east were armed supported by russia same way kiev nazis azov were armed supported by west mainly us this did not happen before conflict broke out as this all happened after conflict that led overthrow government this is seminal conflict at heart issue we all know west s stance that doesn t mean west holds complete dominion over what is is not truth gt even accepting russias justifications as correct ukrainian govt would still be required defend itself what would absolutely be invasion no they are not required do so especially since they have not had any legitimate claim over lands question over 8 years they could just as actually way more easily just accept that eastern regions want independence ukraine ukraine s claim over those regions is entirely one conquest gt russia absolutely started war with ukraine is currently attacking ukraine this is where ideology interferes with definitions russia did not start war with ukraine russia entered war that was already ongoing between eastern western regions ukraine russia is attacking ukraine reclaim secure territory that people donbas have historically held i could very reasonably entertain idea that russia should stop trying take back areas donbas they don t currently control just draw new borders at current line conflict i doubt that is sustainable solution but it is one i could support get violence stop at least temporarily gt stalemate case like this isn t something pretty much any country could accept as it would be tacit admission that they couldn t defend their borders which historically means country is going get taken apart short order contested territory was already outside borders ukraine s effective administration it was functionally not ukraine over 8 years they already lost this ongoing conflict is because they can t admit it themselves world mostly because us doesn t want them there is also no indication that russia has its eye rest ukraine if they did they absolutely would not have withdrawn around kiev why waste time resources retreating advantageous position that puts you direct proximity goal you claim they have that was not under threat just have do it all over again later gt likewise countries generally have no choice but attack separatists or cease exist just as ussr british empire ceased exist huh ussr didn t dissolve because separatists it dissolved because it couldn t functionally administer its territory any more hell ussr was republic meaning it was state that existed as conglomerate other semi independent states russia existed within ussr ukraine existed within ussr only thing that ceased exist this case is umbrella state that operated as unifying government otherwise semi autonomous states british empire example is just silly because british empire still exists they lost few colonies we generally call it british monarchy or united kingdom but it is functionally same thing gt but it is stilly argue they are literally at war or meaningfully going up against combined might nato countries especially if you re also going argue that somehow they are not at war with ukraine that s not just being loose with definitions that s being intentionally inconsistent no it is entirely consistent your disagreement with it is ideological not logical russia is not declaring war against ukraine they are defending donbas ukraine at direction with support west is refusing accept this engaging conflict with russia therefore russia is not trying be at war with ukraine but west is doing everything its power wage proxy war against russia via ukraine while you may not agree that this is reality this perspective is entirely logically consistent gt i could accept that medvedev could be using word war different context but argue that russia is at war with nato also not at war with ukraine is beyond silly argue that they re fighting combined might nato is just obvious hyperbole purposes soothing wounded pride medvedev is saying nato is waging proxy war against them not that russia is active war with nato that is important distinction you re trying place agency russia when medvedev is clearly saying agency is with nato it s also not silly at all say it they are against combined might nato considering that virtually all nato members are

  • A widespread call for peace and an end to the war.

ECONOMIC IMPART OF THE WAR¶

This section discusses the profound economic and business impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war. As established in earlier sections, the conflict has severely devastated business infrastructure across affected regions. Key economic assets, including factories, supply chains, and financial institutions, have been significantly disrupted or destroyed. Additionally, the war's social toll cannot be overlooked: children, who represent the future workforce and business leaders, have been displaced, forced into refugee status, or tragically lost their lives, further jeopardizing long-term economic recovery.

The war’s economic impact is not limited to Ukraine; Russia has also faced substantial losses. International sanctions, disrupted trade relations, and resource reallocation toward the war effort have strained Russia’s economy, leading to long-term financial and business repercussions.

Conclusion¶

This project successfully leveraged Python-based analytics to explore the social media sentiment and economic implications of the Russia-Ukraine war. Through data scraping and sentiment analysis of tweets and Reddit posts, the study offered critical insights into public perceptions and their economic context.

The sentiment analysis revealed a dominant negative outlook towards the war, with 89% of Twitter users and 60% of Reddit users expressing negative sentiments. The comparison between platforms also highlighted differences in public opinion, with Reddit displaying a higher proportion of positive and neutral sentiments compared to Twitter.

Furthermore, the analysis of key terms through word clouds and visualizations emphasized the widespread concerns surrounding the war. The frequent mentions of the destruction of Ukraine's business infrastructure and the displacement of children signal the long-term economic challenges posed by the conflict. Additionally, the data highlighted the global narrative, capturing discussions around potential war crimes, international involvement by figures like Joe Biden and nations like China and Poland, and the universal call for an end to the war.

By integrating social media sentiment with broader economic implications, this research provides a nuanced understanding of both the human and economic costs of the Russia-Ukraine war. It underscores the value of combining sentiment analysis with external datasets to gain comprehensive insights into how global events impact both public opinion and economic realities.
