روسيا و أوكرانيا بعد أزمة شبه جزيرة القرم

Abstract EN

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union at the beginning of the nineties of the last century, regional problems have threatened the national security of the Russian Federation, because the latter is the largest heir (as space and influence) to the collapsed Union, and it neighbors many independent republics such as Ukraine, which has become the focus of attention of the West and the United States of America.

After Russia began in the first decade of the century to gradually recover by liberating itself from dependence on the West, and the restoration of Russia's international standing, the axis of problems expanded and became more complex, based on the need to protect Russian strategic interests, and not allow the former Soviet countries to join the Western alliances hostile to it, and here we mean an alliance The North Atlantic and the Ukrainian issue.

On the other hand, the West, led by the United States of America, would not stop pressuring Ukraine and motivating it to provoke neighboring Russia in order to constantly hold the latter accountable and isolate it internationally in light of the Russian reactions to these provocations.

What we witnessed in 2014 against the background of Russia's annexation of the Crimea and the repercussions of this issue, and what we are witnessing today after the start of the Russian military campaign against Ukraine in late February is the best proof of that.
