"Who Caused the Ukraine War?"



August 5, 2024
  

By John J. Mearsheimer


The question of who is responsible for causing the Ukraine war has been a 
deeply contentious issue since Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

The answer to this question matters enormously because the war has been a 
disaster for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that Ukraine 
has effectively been wrecked. It has lost a substantial amount of its territory 
and is likely to lose more, its economy is in tatters, huge numbers of 
Ukrainians are internally displaced or have fled the country, and it has 
suffered hundreds of thousands of casualties. Of course, Russia has paid a 
significant blood price as well. On the strategic level, relations between 
Russia and Europe, not to mention Russia and Ukraine, have been poisoned for 
the foreseeable future, which means that the threat of a major war in Europe 
will be with us well after the Ukraine war turns into a frozen conflict. Who 
bears responsibility for this disaster is a question that will not go away 
anytime soon and if anything is likely to become more prominent as the extent 
of the disaster becomes more apparent to more people.
