The unfolding crisis in Ukraine has brought the world to the brink
of a new Cold War. As Russia and Ukraine tussle for Crimea and the
eastern regions, relations between Putin and the West have reached
an all-time low. How did we get here? Richard Sakwa here unpicks
the context of conflicted Ukrainian identity and of Russo-Ukrainian
relations and traces the path to the recent disturbances through
the events which have forced Ukraine, a country internally divided
between East and West, to choose between closer union with Europe
or its historic ties with Russia. In providing the first full
account of the ongoing crisis, Sakwa analyses the origins and
significance of the Euromaidan Protests, examines the controversial
Russian military intervention and annexation of Crimea, reveals the
extent of the catastrophe of the MH17 disaster and looks at
possible ways forward following the October 2014 parliamentary
elections. In doing so, he explains the origins, developments and
global significance of the internal and external battle for
Ukraine.With all eyes focused on the region, Sakwa unravels the
myths and misunderstandings of the situation, providing an
essential and highly readable account of the struggle for Europe's
contested borderlands.
