Conflict in Eastern Ukraine: Future Prospects
As the conflict in Eastern Ukraine enters a new year, much remains unresolved. Sporadic fighting continues between the Ukrainian forces and the separatists. Prisoner exchanges, short-lived cease fires, and uneasy deals for energy supplies mark this conflict. Negotiations are scheduled in January, meanwhile both sides continue to rearm. Mykola Vorobiev of Ukraine’s Center for Eastern European Perspectives, who has reported from the frontlines of the conflict as an independent journalist, shared his eye-witness perspective on the situation. Michael Kofman, a Public Policy Scholar with the Wilson Center, offered his analysis of the functional aspects of the conflict and future prospects.
