  For three years, analysts, specialists in the ex-Soviet space, military experts, political scientists, psychologists, journalists and chibits keep trying to guess why Putin invaded Ukraine. Difficulty is given by the apparent lack of any political and economic logic behind such a gesture. Ukraine has no use value for Russia. The northern neighbor of Romania has a wide range of natural resources and an important agricultural capacity. But Russia already has all of that.

The annexation of Crimea and the support provided to separatist rebels in Eastern Ukraine represent a deliberate attempt by the Russian government to undermine the independence and stability of its neighbor. This aggression is particularly concerning in light of the increasing authoritarianism of the Russian regime. By using military force to achieve its goals, the Russian government is sending a message that it is willing to flout international norms and use brute force to achieve its objectives. This undermines the stability of the region and sets a dangerous precedent for other countries that may be tempted to use similar tactics to achieve their own ends.
