الحرب الروسية الأوكرانية: حماقات الإمبراطورية

The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Follies of the Empire The number of casualties in the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war is approaching one and a half million, with no hope of a solution soon... a horrific reality. In trying to understand this catastrophic conflict, Richard Sakwa meticulously explores the war's origins, course and consequences, within the broad context of global and domestic politics since 1945. Sakwa's balanced analysis is based on what he sees as five levels of conflict: the dynamics of Ukrainian politics, the evolution of Russian-Ukrainian relations, the relationship between Russia and the West, broad changes in international politics, and the prospects for a sustainable and effective peace. By explaining - without endorsing - the logic of all parties' actions, Sakwa aims to contribute to charting a path towards such peace.
