The global impact of the “Ukraine Crisis”: Russia’s decline and Euro-Asiatic security in the early 21st century

The global impact of the “Ukraine Crisis”: Russia’s decline and Euro-Asiatic security in the early 21st century

The most frequently used label for the current conflict in Eastern Europe, the “Ukraine Crisis,” is doubly misleading. It not only distracts from the predominant instigator and driving force of the escalating conflicts in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine – the Kremlin. It may also mislead one into thinking of the “Ukraine Crisis” as merely a local and temporary problem.
