There has been no escalation in the Crimean crisis since Russia’s threat to Ukraine. The tensions in the Slavic region have quickly rippled on to the west. Sovereignty of a nation shouldn’t be compromised and Ukraine’s has definitely been violated. Russia has taken a firm stance and is nowhere ready to give up on Crimea. Vladmir Putin not just invaded Ukraine, but also sent a strong message to the West. Russia has displayed its total independence from any Western nation on this matter by discarding Western authority. The dynamics of the region have definitely changed and Russia has made sure that everyone knows, that the big red bear is still capable of pawing.
