Ucrania

The escalation of tensions between the Western allies and Russia due to the war in Ukraine has brought back a scenario that was believed to have been overcome since the end of the Cold War: the resurgence of nuclear threats. What began as a regional conflict has ended up acquiring the entity of a world war in which the new international order for the 21st century will be settled. Soviet, Russian and Ukrainian political experts Yuri Felshtinsky and Mikhail Stanchev bring us one of the most complex studies to date on the geostrategic implications of the war in Ukraine. The authors argue that, far from being a fanatical expansionist delusion, the Russian invasion of the neighboring country is the first phase of Vladimir Putin's project to destabilize the current balance of powers, and foster the emergence of an eastern axis that disputes the American hegemony. The researchers go back to the beginning of Ukraine's history and its attempts to rid itself of the interference of the neighboring country, to shed more light on how the outbreak of the conflict could have come about. Is the war in Ukraine the preamble to a large-scale world conflict? What are Putin's true intentions? Are we at the gates of a third world war? Can it be avoided? This is a must read for those who want to understand the background to the crisis and how we can act to drive away the specter of a new nuclear conflict. One that would devastate the world completely.
