It should be on the desk, the bed side, or the airplane tray table of everyone who is working to understand Ukraine or to help Europe resolve its major crisis."--Timothy Snyder, author of BloodLands and Black Earth "Excellent a succinct, lucid text that is ideal for newcomers to recent Ukrainian events." The Financial Times This updated edition of Serhy Yekelchyk's 2015 The Conflict in Ukraine directs focus to Ukraine's relations with the West, particularly the United States, from the perspective of Ukrainians. Th explains how independent Ukraine fell victim to crony capitalism, how its people rebelled twice in the last two decades in the name of democracy and against corruption, and why Russia reacted so aggressively to the strivings of Ukrainians. Additionally, it looks at what we know about alleged Ukrainian interference in the 2016 US presidential election, the factors behind the stunning electoral victory of the political novice Volodymyr Zelensky, and the ways in which the events leading to the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump have changed the Russia-Ukraine-US relationship. This volume is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the forces that have shaped contemporary politics in this increasingly important part of Europe as well as the international background of the 2020 impeachment proceedings in the United States
