What is Putin Doing? Russia - Ukraine Crisis: Sanctions, Peace and Security in the 21st Century - Paperback

by Saron Messembe Obia (Author)

Peace should be a generic word for the United Nations, European Union and NATO. Rather than chanting on sanctions and propaganda to motivate parties into war, while casualties keep increasing. This book provides the historical ties between Russia and Ukraine, exposes the genesis of the 'game', which led to several sanctions on Russia and individuals with suspected links with president Putin. The book also analyzes the breach of Ukrainian intelligence and quick invasion by Russia, using the information warfare theory.

Despite the sanctions and resolutions adopted, the United Nations and other international organizations must advocate for peace, in order to avoid the emergence of new alliances and criminal networks. The conflict in Ukraine must not be normalized. Neither should it be linked to new wave of insecurity; violent extremism, jihadist tendencies, cyber-attacks, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Only peace can lead to sustainable development.
