$Michael Kimmage - Putins War in Ukraine Ushers in a New Age of Global Instability and Confrontation In Collisions, Michael Kimmage, traces the origins of the Russia-Ukraine war. He unpicks the development of Ukraine and Russias fractious relationship back to the end of the Cold War, through the central events that led to Vladimir Putin seizing Crimea in 2014 and, eight years later, initiating the most intensive and widescale military confrontation of the post-WWII era. This conflict ushers in a new age of global instability, and a collision between Russia and the Western alliance that is far hotter than confrontations during the Cold War. Michael Kimmage is a professor of history at the Catholic University of America. Michael is author of books and articles about international affairs, Soviet and Russian politics, and the European-American relationship. From 2014 to 2016, he served on the Secretarys Policy Planning Staff at the U.S. Department of State. He is a senior non-resident associate at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.
