The Game of Ukraine: Conflict in Donbass as an Outcome of the Multilayered Rivalry
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.12797/Politeja.13.2016.45.13Keywords:
war in Ukraine, Euromaidan, Donbass, CrimeaAbstract
This paper analyzes the war in Ukraine as an outcome of multilayered rivalry combined with unintentional mistakes committed by all possible sides. The first layer of competition concerns domestic differences visible between the Western and Eastern part of Ukraine. The second layer covers the regional rivalry between Poland and Russia, which has significantly contributed to the instability of Eastern Europe for several centuries. Finally, the third layer concerns the geopolitical game for influence between the West, led by the United States, and Russia along with several satellite states. Ukraine proved to be just another object of this competition, composed of such events as the Kosovo intervention, the Orange Revolution, the Caucasus war in 2008 and the Syrian chemical crisis.
