About this book
This book provides a detailed narrative analysis of the historic events in and around Ukraine from 2013 to 2019. These years were almost as significant for Ukraine as the achievement of independence in 1991. That was because Ukraine was in danger of losing its independence again after the victory of the Euromaidan Revolution of 2013-2014. This popular uprising against the kleptocratic regime of President Viktor Yanukovych led to a takeover of power by the parliamentary opposition and to a total loss of influence by Russia. While regular Russian troops were deploying along the border, Russian agents in eastern Ukraine tried to bring about a Crimea scenario, i. e. the secession of the eastern part of the country. President Putin intended to resolve the Ukraine conflict in truth not a civil war but a Russian war of attrition against Ukraine on his terms within the Minsk process. By creating an autonomous Donbas region within the Ukrainian state, he wanted to create a lever for Russian influence over the whole of Ukraine. The book s conclusions place the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in the context of the dawning Chinese century. The in-depth study draws from secondary literature, official publications, and a variety of current news in print and digital outlets. It is essential reading for everyone who wants to understand the current situation in Ukraine.
