Assessing risks and urgent diplomatic solutions

If an American wishes to do historical research on Crimea using any of the social sciences they will realize that a wall has been constructed to prevent them from doing so I recently had an idea for a research project entitled “an anthropological study of Feodosia, Crimea”.

Facing a need to show his NATO sponsors “results,” Zelensky sets sights on the Russian-annexed peninsula.

The Ukrainian government is now trapped by its own uncompromising—and increasingly indefensible—policy.

Seventeen months ago the US State Department officially declared the US will “NEVER” recognize Crimea as part of Russia. Three months ago Ukrainian President Zelensky vowed to “take back” Crimea. Is this possible?

Whether the Ukraine war brings on a global catastrophe will hinge in large part on whether Washington decides to back a Ukrainian effort to retake the Crimean peninsula.

The Pentagon said Thursday that the US would continue to support Ukraine in the event of a potential operation by Kyiv to take back Crimea.

In a new article titled “U.S. Warms to Helping Ukraine Target Crimea,” the New York Times reports that the Biden administration now believes Kyiv may need to launch an offensive on the territory that Moscow has considered a part of the Russian Federation since 2014, “even if such a move increases the risk of escalation.”

A history of the region’s relationship with Ukrainian rule before 2014 shows why Kyiv’s attempt to retake it would be so difficult.
