Ukraine’s Unnamed War: Before the Russian Invasion of 2022
(Cambridge University Press, 2022)
DOMINIQUE AREL AND JESSE DRISCOLL
A timely and concise account of the roots of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the book explains how the 2013–14 violent protests on Maidan unleashed seditionist movements in Crimea and Eastern Donbas, but not elsewhere in Eastern Ukraine, and how Russia reacted to, rather than controlled events. It analyzes why no political solution to this war was found prior to the catastrophic Russian attack of 2022.
