The Russo-ukrainian War And The Change In Us Strategy

Authors : Dehbi Abdelhakim .

Abstract

The Russian-Ukrainian war broke out on February 24, 2022, with a massive Russian military buildup in northern and eastern Ukraine. This war is a response to Moscow's strategic objective of taking control of its neighboring country, which in recent years has moved away from the Russian orbit and towards the European Union and NATO. The Atlantic Alliance, through its successive enlargements in Central and Eastern Europe, on Russia's borders, places the current conflict in the context of a confrontation between Russia and NATO, which acts indirectly by sending arms. This study addresses a number of points for reflection in order to understand the conflict, with a general overview of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Finally, it examines Donald Trump's approach and the shift in US strategy towards Ukraine
