Post-modern Europe has to learn how to cope with old-fashioned hard power. It also has to devise forms of soft power that work, including in competition with hard power, and especially with states like Russia that normally have a higher pain threshold.

Key events surrounding the conflict included Russia's annexation of Crimea and escalating tensions related to Russia's interest in the Donbas, a region in the East of Ukraine.
