NATO expansion at heart of Ukraine crisis
The Ukraine crisis centers on NATO expansion and Russia’s fear of encirclement as former Soviet republics move toward closer Western ties. After Crimea’s annexation and eastern fighting, a new peace plan seeks a cease fire and withdrawal of heavy weapons, with skepticism from Washington about Russia’s compliance. The deal aims for Ukraine to regain border control and for Donetsk and Luhansk regions to gain autonomy while NATO membership remains a contested outcome.
