The Ukrainian Crisis and the End of the Cold War

Abstract

This commentary briefly considers some systemic changes taking place in the international system in light of the recent Ukrainian Crisis. It is shown that the unipolar standing of the United States is undermined and that the Western policies in the Post-Soviet Space are led not by democratic values but by purely economic and geopolitical interests. It is also suggested that the current Ukrainian crisis has a potential to become the end, rather than the beginning, of the Cold War.
