'''Russia's Strategy Towards the War in Eastern Ukraine''' <br />
Russia’s objective is to impose limits on the sovereignty of Ukraine, which it regards as the center of its claimed sphere of influence. <br />
<br />
Key points: <br />
* Russia seeks to force its interpretation of the February 2015 Minsk Agreement on Kyiv, requiring the devolution of power to Russia’s puppet regimes in East Ukraine. <br />
* This strategy aims to weaken the central Ukrainian state and prevent Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration. <br />
* Russia’s use of military force, combined with other forms of pressure, is designed to coerce Kyiv into compliance and intimidate Western capitals into pressuring Ukraine to capitulate. <br />
* The clash between Ukraine’s determination to defend its sovereignty and Russia’s great power ambitions is likely to persist for many years.<br />
