Beschreibung

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has worsened as a result of three underlying factors: the security dilemma, the impact of democratization on geopolitics, and the clashing goals of a post-Cold War Europe.

This book investigates Ukraine's ongoing war, examining its roots and assessing the factors that have led to it. It has previously been mentioned how the two sides have engaged in political posturing, accusations, increasing sanctions, and increased threats.

The book also shows how this battle fits into larger patterns of modern international warfare and should be of interest to anybody interested in the root causes of the conflict, Russia's ties with the West, and geopolitics in general.

This is the book to read if you want to understand the present Russia-Ukraine crisis.

WHY RUSSIA AND UKRAINE ARE AT WAR

The military confrontation in Ukraine began in early 2014 and swiftly devolved into a protracted standoff, with frequent shelling and skirmishes taking place along the front line that separates Russian- and Ukrainian-controlled border territories in the east. Since Russia started a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, combat has resulted in over a hundred civilian fatalities and tens of thousands of Ukrainians fleeing to neighboring nations, including Poland, a NATO member where US soldiers are poised to aid.

Russia began mobilizing troops and military equipment near the border with Ukraine in October 2021, reigniting fears of an attack. Commercial satellite photos, social media posts, and publicly available intelligence from November and December 2021 revealed the movement of armor, missiles, and other heavy equipment toward Ukraine with no official justification. By December, over 100,000 Russian troops were stationed along the Russia-Ukraine border, and US intelligence sources warned that Russia may be plotting an assault in early 2022. Russia's foreign ministry issued a set of demands in mid-December 2021, requesting that the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) cease all military activity in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, commit to opposing further NATO expansion toward Russia, and prevent Ukraine from joining NATO in the future. The US and other NATO partners rejected these requests and warned Russia that if it attacked Ukraine, it would face harsh economic consequences. The US supplied further military aid to Ukraine, including ammunition, small guns, and other defensive weapons.

In early February 2022, US President Joe Biden directed the deployment of around 3,000 US troops to Poland and Romania (NATO nations bordering Ukraine) to confront Russian forces stationed near its border with Ukraine and reassure NATO allies. Satellite images revealed Russia's greatest force deployment to its border with Belarus since the Cold War's conclusion. Negotiations between the US, Russia, and European nations, particularly France and Germany, failed to provide a settlement. While Russia issued a statement claiming to be drawing down a set number of troops, rumors arose of an increased Russian force presence on Ukraine's border.
