AN ANALYSIS OF THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RUSSIA AND ITS NATO ALLIES  

ABSTRACT

This study was carried out to analyze the Russian-Ukrainian war on the relationship between Russia and its Nato allies. Specifically, the study  examine if the supposed intention of Ukraine to join NATO is the reason for the Russian war on Ukraine,  evaluate the impact of the war on Russia relationship with its NATO allies and  investigate the possible influence or support of NATO to the Ukraine side on Russia NATO membership. The study employed the historical research design. The findings revealed that the political implications of the relationship involving Russia and NATO are manifold. In fact, intermittent times of peace and quietude between these two actors are frequently broken by renewed waves of tension, mistrust and palpable instability, with recent NATO-Russia’s interactions having acquired contours of ‘an impending war’ due to the situation in Ukraine. Considered by Russia as the main military threat to its security, NATO’s actions in the Post-Cold War context are perceived by authorities in Moscow as defiant moves against Russia’s national and geopolitical interests, especially in the post-Soviet space. At the same time, Moscow’s antagonistic attitudes are interpreted as a ‘direct confrontation’ in Western circles, a perception that was solidified after the events involving the Russia-Georgia War of 2008, as well as Russia’s actions in Ukraine in 2014 and in Syria one year later. The study thereby recommend that Russian and its Nato allies should deploy a more democratic approach towards ending the war. Mediation from the U.N, European union and the U.N should be allowed in other for the stoppage of the war and to put an end to unnecessary blood shed.
