South Asian Journal of Socio-Political StudiesSummary: The Ukraine crisis holds a significant place in the international arena as it is strategically located between East and the West. This favorable position of Ukraine, is tactfully used by the Western counterpart in bringing about geopolitical pressure on Russia. However, Russia on the other hand, as part of its historical mission and civilizational linkages as well as geopolitical significance does not want to lose control and influence in this territory. Russian initiatives in this part of the world have indeed been of counterbalancing Western interest and their structures for governance. Pro-west affiliations of Ukraine, color revolution and domestic coup overthrowing the pro-Russian leader has triggered Russia to adopt coercion against Ukraine so that NATO interference could be done away with by all means. Russia believes its legitimate interests to be in its ‘sphere of influence’. Moreover, consolidation of its ‘near abroad’ is part and parcel of its great power interests which is directly linked to its national identity. This particular war crisis has boiled down the relation between Moscow and Washington to a freezing point. The paper delves into an elaborate understanding of the upheaval by analyzing the speeches of important public figures.- Reproduced
