Ukraine's Counteroffensive: A Moment of Opportunity and Risk for the West
TL;DR Summary
Serhii Plokhy, a Ukrainian historian and professor of Ukrainian history at Harvard, has written a new book, The Russo-Ukrainian War, which examines the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Plokhy argues that the invasion of Ukraine is an important chapter in the disintegration of the Russian empire, which began in 1914 with the outbreak of the first world war. He also suggests that the longer the war goes on, the stronger the narrative that Russia is using its Muslim peoples and peripheral autonomous republics as cannon fodder. Plokhy is on Ukraine's side and believes that the country is choosing not to be a no man's land.
