Abstract

This study investigates the Ukraine-Russia War, which started in February 2022, from the perspective of Russia. In the study, why Russia declared war on Ukraine, Russia's policies, official documents and official discourses were examined. Despite the end of the Cold War, enlargement of NATO, which is a military structure, and the Eastern European enlargement of the EU as an economic-political structure has been closely followed in Russia since the Yeltsin period. In the Putin period, it was reflected in the official documents that this was a threat. At this point, it was deduced that this war emerged not only with the influence of Russia's but also the West's policies. Ukraine-Russia War had global effects, for this reason, it has been inferred that Ukraine has become a battleground of major and regional powers. Another finding of the research is that Ukraine is subject to a war that is a reflection of a struggle between great powers. As a result of the research, it was concluded that Russia declared war on Ukraine due to a threat perception coming from the West, especially with the expansion of NATO, its struggle with the USA, and its efforts to preserve its influence in the former Soviet region.

UKRAYNA SAVAŞI’NDA BÜYÜK VE BÖLGESEL GÜÇLERİN MÜCADELESİ: RUSYA’NIN PERSPEKTİFİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma Şubat 2022’de başlayan Ukrayna-Rusya Savaşı’nı Rusya perspektifinden değerlendirmektedir. Çalışmada Rusya’nın neden Ukrayna’ya savaş ilan ettiği Rusya’nın politikaları, resmî belgeleri ve resmi düzeyde söylemleri ele alınarak incelenmiştir. Soğuk Savaş’ın bitmesine rağmen askerî bir yapı olan NATO’nun ve ekonomik-siyasi yapı olarak AB’nin Doğu Avrupa genişlemesi Rusya’da Yeltsin döneminden beri yakından izlenmektedir. Putin döneminde ise bunun bir tehdit olduğu resmî belgelere yansımıştır. Bu noktada bu savaşın sadece Rusya’nın değil Batı’nın politikaları etkisiyle de ortaya çıktığı çıkarımı yapılmıştır. Ukrayna – Rusya Savaşı’nın küresel çapta etkileri mevcuttur, bu nedenle de Ukrayna’nın büyük ve bölgesel güçlerin bir mücadele alanı hâline geldiği kanısına varılmıştır. Ukrayna’nın büyük güçler arası bir mücadelenin yansıması olan bir savaşa konu olduğu da araştırmanın bir diğer bulgusudur. Araştırma sonucunda Rusya’nın özellikle NATO’nun genişlemesiyle Batı’dan gelen bir tehdit algısı, ABD ile olan mücadelesi, eski Sovyet bölgesindeki nüfuzu koruma çabası nedenleriyle Ukrayna’ya savaş ilan ettiği görülmüştür.
