#UKRAINE OUT OF MONEY, AMMO, HOPE: 3/8: The Russo-Ukrainian War: The Return of History. by Serhii Plokhy (Author)

In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post–Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.
