ABSTRACT
Today Ukraine is stirring up information hysteria around the relations with Russia to shape national identity and seek economic and military assistance as victims, while the West turns a blind eye to Ukraine’s internal management issues, and clumsy actions of Russian propaganda only serve to strengthen anti-Russian sentiments across Ukraine. In fact, however, Russia’s launch of this special military operation is related to the invasion of Yugoslavia by the NATO in 1998, the withdrawal of the United States from the ABM Treaty in 2002, its aggression against Iraq in 2003 and its continuous approach to Russia’s borders. As a result of the short-sighted policies of Western countries, the United States and Europe are now facing the most serious and dangerous security crisis in decades, but the situation is now more complex than it was in the 1990s, and the feelings of mistrust, suspicion and confrontation will continue. And Moscow’s recognition of the independence of the republics of Donbass will bring Russia to a new stage of confrontation with the West, which will last a long time in the international political and economic sphere.
