Russia cynically termed the seditionist conflict in Crimea and Eastern Donbas a 'civil war' in order to claim non-involvement. This flies in the face of evidence, but the authors argue that the social science literature on civil wars can be used help understand why no political solution was found between 2015 and 2022. The book explains how Russia, after seizing Crimea, was reacting to events it could not control and sent troops only to areas of Ukraine where it knew it would face little resistance (Eastern Donbas). Kremlin decision makers misunderstood the attachment of the Russian-speaking population to the Ukrainian state and also failed to anticipate that their intervention would transform Ukraine into a more cohesively 'Ukrainian' polity. Drawing on Ukrainian documentary sources, this concise book explains these important developments to a non-specialist readership. -- |cProvided by publisher 650 0 Ukraine Conflict, 2014- |=^A1273046 650 0 Intervention (International law) |=^A36743 651 0 Ukraine |xHistory |yRevolution of Dignity, 2013-2014 |=^A1266710 651 0 Ukraine |xPolitics and government |y21st century. |=^A385525 651 0 Ukraine |xRelations |zRussia (Federation) |=^A25569 651 0 Russia (Federation) |xRelations |zUkraine. |=^A403357 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / World / General. |2bisacsh 650 7 International relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 Intervention (International law) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00977583 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 651 7 Russia (Federation) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01262050 |?UNAUTHORIZED 651 7 Ukraine. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01211738 |?UNAUTHORIZED 647 7 Ukraine Conflict |d(2014-) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01921502 648 7 2000-2099 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Driscoll, Jesse, |d1978- |eauthor. |=^A1416689 949 |i30372017325215 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s105.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 6170857
