A guerra entre a Rússia e a Ucrânia – uma visão a partir do flanco oriental da NATO

Abstract

The Russo-Ukrainian war – which began in late February 2014 with the special operation in Crimea and which intensified as a result of the Russian large-scale invasion initiated eigth years later – evolved into the largest military conflict in post-war Europe. The conflict as such has impacted not only the European security architecture but also has had a great influence globally. This essay seeks to analyse its causes, course, and consequences free from emotions that often accompany war-like situations.
