An assessment of the primary causes of the Ukraine crisis and possible long-term impacts of the conflict on the international order.
The war in Ukraine is a manifestation of the deep divergence in politics and values between Russia and the West, argues an expert in former Soviet states from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
The executive director of the Center for Russian Studies at East China Normal University argues that the Ukraine war is the “inevitable result of the long-term squeezing of Russia’s security space by the United States and NATO,” built out of “long-standing historical grievances.” As a prognosis, he argues that the conflict will result in a fundamental transformation in the European security architecture.
