Abstract

In late November 2013, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich declined to sign an agreement with the European Union, opting instead for closer ties with Russia. This move, in turn, triggered the Maidan (Independence Square) demonstrations (November 2013 to February 2014) that forced Yanukovich from office and led to the emergence of a pro-Western government in Kyiv. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin, deeply angered by his loss of leverage in Kyiv, seized and annexed Crimea in March. Ethnic violence has since rocked both eastern and southern Ukraine.
