Abstract

Russia’s “Special Military Operation” against Ukraine on 24 February 2022 can be counted as the biggest ever war in Europe since World War II. The rationale of the operation, as Russian President Vladimir Putin asserts, is that Russia even could not stay safe, prosper and survive with a NATO-leaning Ukraine. Nevertheless, the present-day war is a culmination of several factors which have set the stage for a more bitter outcome between Russia and Ukraine soon. The paper attempts at analysing how the present-day Russia-Ukraine war is a culmination of conflicting claims and interests of the two countries-Russia and Ukraine, starting from Kievan Rus, and how the west dragged Moscow into a deadly war with Kyiv. In the entire gamut of analysis, Ukraine’s intertwined history and the Russian claims, NATO expansion, resurgent Russia, and oscillating Ukrainian domestic politics hinged on east-west leanings, all together have been taken into account to unfold the current crisis in a wider spectrum.

Abstract

Rusya'nın 24 Şubat 2022'de Ukrayna'ya yönelik gerçekleştirdiği “Özel Askeri Operasyon”, 2. Dünya Savaşı'ndan bu yana Avrupa'da gerçekleştirilen en büyük savaş olarak kabul edilebilir. Rusya Devlet Başkanı Vladimir Putin'in iddia ettiği gibi operasyonun mantığı, Rusya'nın NATO'ya dayalı bir Ukrayna ile güvende kalamayacağı, gelişemeyeceği ve hayatta kalamayacağıdır. Bununla birlikte, bugünkü savaş, yakında Rusya ile Ukrayna arasında daha acı bir sonuca zemin hazırlayan çeşitli faktörlerin bir sonucudur. Makale, bugünkü Rusya-Ukrayna savaşının, iki ülkenin -Rusya ve Ukrayna'nın -Kiev Rus'tan başlayarak- çatışan iddia ve çıkarlarının nasıl bir doruk noktası olduğunu ve batının Moskova'yı nasıl Kiev ile ölümcül bir savaşa sürüklediğini incelemeye çalışıyor. Ukrayna'nın iç içe geçmiş tarihi ve Rusya'nın iddiaları, NATO genişlemesi, yeniden canlanan Rusya ve doğu-batı eğilimlerine bağlı olarak Ukrayna'nın dalgalanan iç siyaseti, tüm analiz yelpazesinde, mevcut krizi daha geniş bir yelpazede ortaya çıkarmak için hep birlikte dikkate alındı.
