Abstract

Ukrajinska kriza je trenutno najveća kriza u Europi. S obzirom na to da su donešene mnoge mjere kako bi se taj sukob razriješio bilo bi za očekivati da mu se makar nazire kraj, ali tome nije tako. Ukrajinska kriza započela je još u studenom 2013. godine nakon što je predsjednik Janukovič objavio da neće potpisati sporazum o pridruživanju sa EU. Početkom krize označavaju se masovni protesti koji su održani na glavnom kijevskom trgu Majdanu. Natjecanje između Zapada i Rusije za prevlast nad geoekonomskom orijentacijom Ukrajine i mnogi drugi čimbenici doveli su do nemira i sukoba za koje se još uvijek nije pronašlo konstruktivno rješenje. Težnja Ukrajine ili samo određenog dijela ukrajinskog naroda za učlanjenjem u euroatlantske saveze, točnije u NATO i EU nije naišla na odobravanje Rusije ni na odobravanje onog dijela stanovništva koji se izjašnjava da je ruskog etničkog podrijetla i koji se više poistovjetio sa ruskom kulturom i identitetom nego sa europskim. Rusija je iz straha od proširenja NATO-a na istok pokušavala sve više širiti svoj utjecaj u Ukrajini. S druge strane, EU je svojim programima i projektima nudila Ukrajini sigurnost, prosperitet i približavanje zapadnim standardima. Navedeni događaji su doveli do narušavanja odnosa između aktera, točnije između Rusije i Ukrajine, EU, SAD-a i NATO-a. Iako je Rusija izvršila ilegalnu aneksiju Krima i prekršila međunarodne norme koje propisuju održavanje referenduma, čime je isprovocirala sankcije od strane EU, vraćanje Krima Ukrajini se još uvijek ne nazire. Završetkom krize se smatra potpisivanje Sporazuma iz Minska kojim je određen prekid vatre obaju strana te inzistiranje na reformama u Ukrajini. Usprkos tome, na jugoistoku Ukrajine nastavili su se sukobi koji traju i danas.

Abstract (english)

The Ukrainian crisis is currently the biggest crisis in Europe. Given that many measures have been taken to resolve this conflict, it is to be expected that it will eventually end, but that is not the case. The Ukrainian crisis began in November 2013 after President Yanukovych announced he would not sign an EU accession agreement. At the beginning of the crisis, mass protests were held at the Maidan, main square in Kiev. The competition between the West and Russia to overcome the geoeconomic orientation of Ukraine and many other factors led to riots and conflicts that still did not find a constructive solution. The struggle of Ukraine or only a certain part of the Ukrainian people to join the Euro-Atlantic alliances, namely NATO and the EU, did not come to the approval of Russia nor to the approval of the part of the population who claims to be Russian ethnic origin and who has more identified with Russian culture and identity than with European. Russia has been trying to expand its influence in Ukraine from fear of NATO enlargement to the east. On the other hand, the EU has offered Ukraine security, prosperity and convergence with Western standards with its programs and projects. These events have led to a distortion of relations between the actors, namely between Russia and Ukraine, the EU, the US and NATO. Although Russia has done illegal annexation in the Crimea and violated the international norms that prescribe the conduct of a referendum, provoking EU sanctions, returning Crimea to Ukraine is still unresponsive. The end of the crisis is considered to be the signing of the Minsk Agreement, which stipulates the ceasefire of both sides and the insistence on reforms in Ukraine. Nevertheless, in the southeast of Ukraine, the ongoing conflicts persisted today.
