Publisher's Synopsis
Tensions between the two nations have existed for millennia. Since breaking away from the USSR in 1991, Ukraine has sought to align itself with more Western nations In recent years, it has pursued an interest in joining NATO. Russian leaders consider this a threat to their national security and have maintained a close interest in their neighbor to the west.
Although Russia invaded Donbas and annexed the Ukrainian territory of Crimea in 2014, Western leaders downplayed the threat of violent conflict between the two nations. This dangerous illusion allowed Russia to continue to pursue its expansionist ambitions and left Ukraine a vulnerable target lacking international support.
