Russia-Ukraine: Resolving The World’S Most Dangerous Conflict, Mary Ellen O'Connell

NDLS in the News

Since late 2021, Russia has massed around 100,000 troops on the border with Ukraine, raising the specter of another use of force against its neighbor. The Russia-Ukraine crisis began in earnest in February 2014, when Russian troops spread out from their Black Sea naval base to take control of the Crimean Peninsula. Russia put forward a variety of familiar legal justifications at the time—intervention by invitation, humanitarian intervention, restoration of Russian borders, and self-defense.

The U.S. has since released satellite imagery showing immense smoke clouds. Unnamed American officials say 19 sites were struck.
