Russian Intervention in Ukraine

When Ukraine gained independence in 1991 the state was split between citizens who were unable to agree on the political direction of their state. This discord between pursing political relations with the West or retaining closer links with Russia has remained in Ukraine and culminated in the Euromaidan protests in 2013-2014. Russia reacted to its loss of influence in Ukraine by annexing the strategically positioned Crimean peninsula. Following the Russia‟s annexation, pro-separatist rebels in the Donbas began to rebel against the government in Kiev. Following the Russia‟s intervention in Ukraine has been in gross violation of international law and also breached several multilateral agreements with Ukraine. Russia‟s forcible intervention in Ukraine stemmed from its loss of influence in the region and the ensuing security threats to its economy as well as its military presence in Ukraine that it posed from possible expansion of NATO and EU in Ukraine. Hence Russia intervened in Ukraine with its aims to keep Ukraine within its sphere of influence in order to secure and maintain its own economic and military strength (interests), but more importantly to control the influence of the West.
