«Poutine est un homme qui au XXIe siècle mène une guerre du XXe pour atteindre des objectifs du XIXe». La polémique est un genre dont je me méfie vivement, et que je pratique avec parcimonie. Je n'ai jamais pensé que le fait d'avoir écrit des livres, d'être considéré, d'une certaine manière, comme une personne publique, donnait le droit d'exprimer ses opinions à tout vent. Mais parfois l'on n'a pas le choix ; parfois, le silence équivaut à la complicité. Lorsqu'un pays en agresse un autre, comme la Russie a agressé l'Ukraine ce 24 février 2022, se taire serait faire le jeu de l'agresseur, serait trahir l'agressé. Cela vaut d'autant plus lorsqu'on a passé des années dans les deux pays, lorsqu'on y a des amis, des deux côtés. Pour les uns, comme pour les autres, il importe de choisir son camp.

British artist Mark Neville moved home and studio from London to live in Kyiv, Ukraine, last year. With 100,000 Russian troops amassed on the Ukrainian border and the whole country on the cusp of war, Neville's book project, Stop Tanks With Books, calls on the international community to urgently support Ukraine and help deter further Russian invasion. Since 2015 Neville has been documenting life in Ukraine, with subjects ranging from holidaymakers on the beaches of Odessa, to the Roma communities on the Hungarian border, the churchgoers and nightclubbers of Kyiv, to both civilians and soldiers living on the frontline in Eastern Ukraine. Eighty of Neville's photographs are brought together in this book, edited by David Campany, together with short stories about the conflict from Ukrainian novelist Lyuba Yakimchuk; research from the Centre of Eastern European Studies in Berlin about the 2.5 million Ukrainians already displaced by the war; and a call to action for the international community.

Depuis le 24 février 2022, 6 heures du matin, on ne voit plus le président de l'Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, qu'en pantalon de treillis, tee-shirt et veste kaki. Malgré les tentatives d'assassinat, il reste à Bankova, le siège de la présidence en plein coeur de Kyiv, la capitale ukrainienne. Le décor pompeux de l'édifice est devenu surréaliste : des sacs de sable obstruent les fenêtres, les gardes du corps ont troqué leurs costumes pour des gilets pare-balles. Mal rasé et assis sur les marches du hall d'entrée, le président Zelensky donne des interviews à la presse internationale. C'est là que celui qui dirige le pays depuis 2019 s'est métamorphosé en chef de guerre, incarnation de l'héroïsme et de la résistance de tout un peuple, qui lutte à la vie à la mort pour sa liberté. L'ancien comédien et animateur télé n'était pourtant pas destiné à ce rôle. Qui est cet homme arrivé en politique par effraction et sur les épaules duquel repose une partie du destin de l'Europe ? Tous deux sur le terrain, les auteurs nous livrent une enquête au plus près de ce personnage hors du commun.

Après l'effondrement soviétique et l'indépendance de ses composantes, les élites russes n'ont eu de cesse de vouloir rassembler le (S0 (Bmonde russe (S1 (B. Ce fut la politique dite des compatriotes, puis le soutien aux séparatismes périphériques. Elle a été théorisée par le président russe dans un long texte soutenant que Russes et Ukrainiens sont un même peuple. L'agression militaire du 24 février 2022, étape suivante de cette analyse, ne pouvait que se heurter à la résistance de la nation ukrainienne ! L'issue de la guerre dépend du rapport des forces sur les divers terrains, mais aussi des objectifs du Kremlin. Plusieurs scénarios sont analysés par Michel Foucher dans cet ouvrage, qui nous invite également à comprendre les effets de cette guerre mondialisée où s'exacerbe, en Russie comme chez son soutien chinois, le ressentiment contre un Occident provisoirement consolidé sous la direction des États-Unis.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is the latest chapter in a series of events that have their origins in World War One. The difficult existential questions that emerged before and during this conflict still remain unresolved. Contrary to the claim that wars are not supposed to happen in Europe or that we live in the era of the End of History, the experience of Ukraine highlights the salience of the spell of the past. The failure of the West to take its past seriously has left it confused and unprepared to deal with the current crisis. Unexpectedly fashionable claims about the irrelevance of borders and of nation states have been exposed as shallow myths. The author argues that the West's self-inflicted condition of historical amnesia has encouraged it to disregard the salience of geo-political realities. Suddenly the once fashionable claims that made up the virtues of globalisation appear threadbare. This problem, which was already evident during the global Covid pandemic has reached a crisis point in the battlefield of Ukraine. History has had its revenge on a culture that believes that what happened in the past no longer matters. The Road To Ukraine: How the West Lost Its Way argues that overcoming the state of historical amnesia is the precondition for the restoration of global solidarity.

An inspiring memoir of resilience by a young survivor of the war in Ukraine, as told through her diary entries -- a harrowing and ultimately hopeful survival story. Yeva Skalietska's story begins on her twelfth birthday in Kharkiv, where she has been living with her grandmother since she was a baby. Ten days later, the only life she'd ever known was shattered. On February 24, 2022, her city was suddenly under attack as Russia launched its horrifying invasion of Ukraine. Yeva and her grandmother took shelter in a basement bunker, where she began writing this diary. She describes the bombings she endured while sheltering underground and her desperate journey west to escape the conflict raging around them. After many endless train rides and a prolonged stay in an overcrowded refugee center in Western Ukraine, Yeva and her beloved grandmother eventually find refuge in Ireland. There, she bravely begins to forge a new life, hoping she'll be able to return home one day.

Debating the War in Ukraine discusses whether the war could have been avoided, and, if so, how? In this dialogical book, the authors discuss nodal points of history in terms of counterfactuals and contrastive explanations, concluding by considering future possibilities. They start in the 1990s where several causal elements of the war originate involving Russia's economic developments and Europe's security arrangements. Moving on to the next decade, they focus on the Iraq war, colour revolutions, and NATO's 2008 announcement that Ukraine and Georgia will become members. Finally, they explore the past decade including the Ukrainian crisis of 2013-2014, the annexation of Crimea, and the consecutive war in east Ukraine. The current war can also be seen as a continuum of that war. The authors agree that NATO's 2008 announcement on Ukraine's and Georgia's NATO membership was an unnecessary provocation, and that the implementation of the Minsk agreement could have prevented the current war, but otherwise their analysis of counterfactual possibilities differs, especially when it comes to the action-possibilities of the West (including diverse actors). These differences are not just dependent on different readings of relevant evidence but, importantly, stem from dissimilar contrast spaces and divergent theoretical understandings of the nature of states and mechanisms of international relations and political economy. This short, highly accessible book will be of great interest to all those studying and working in international relations and its various subfields such as peace and conflict studies and security studies, as well as all those wishing to understand more about the backdrop of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
