Description:... Ukraine has struggled to forge an independent path, torn between Europe and the United States in the West and its long-standing ties to Russia in the East.

Ukraine has long played an important, yet sometimes overlooked, role in the global security order. Today, the country is on the front lines of a renewed great-power rivalry that many analysts say will dominate international relations in the decades ahead.

• The conflict in Ukraine is viewed by some as part of a renewed geopolitical rivalry between western powers and Russia.
• A former Soviet republic, Ukraine has deep cultural, economic, and political bonds with Russia.
• In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea, a part of Ukraine, and it is keen not to let the country become more aligned with Western institutions, chiefly NATO and the European Union.

Now that Russia had succeeded in launching an attack; what can Ukraine possibly do?
