ABD-Ukrayna İlişkilerinde Rusya Etkisi Russian Effect on U.S.- Ukraine Relations

2013 Şubatında Ukraynada bir iç sorun olarak başlayan gelişmeler, kısa sürede Rusya-Ukrayna krizine dönüşmüş, ardından ise uluslararası bir sorun haline gelmiştir. Rusya, Yakın Çevresi olarak değerlendirdiği Ukraynanın Batıya yaklaşma gayretlerinden kaygı duymaktadır. Ancak ABDnin bölge ve Ukrayna politikalarının bu kaygıyı desteklediğini söylemek güçtür. Rusyanın bağımsızlığının ilk yıllarında Batı ile uyumlu politika izleme gayreti, Vladi- mir Putinle birlikte terk edilmiş ve Batı dünyası ile soğuk barış olarak ad- landırılan bir politika izlenmeye başlanmıştır. Bu politikada Ukrayna büyük bir önem kazanmıştır. Rusyanın dış politikasında geliştirilen askeri ve siyasi doktrinlerin önemli yönlendirici etkisi olmuş, ilişkiler bu doktrinler çerçeve- sinde yürütülmüştür. Uygulanan politikaların temel motivasyonu, Rusyanın dünyada ve özellikle Batı karşısında Sovyetlerin siyasi mirasçısı olarak kabul görmesi ve buna uygun olan yeri almasıdır. Doktrinler etrafında çizilen Rus dış politikasının ABD-Ukrayna İlişkileri üzerindeki yönlendirici etkisinin iza- hı çalışmamın ana temasını teşkil etmektedir.

Russian Effect on U.S.- Ukraine Relations

The crisis between Russia and Ukraine, which started as a domestic unrest in Ukraine, is now an international problem. Russia regards Ukraine as itsnear abroad and is worried about the attempts to establish close ties between Ukraine and the U.S. However, it is not possible to argue that Ukraine and sur- rounding regions occupy an important place in the current U.S. foreign policy. In Russia, Western-friendly foreign policies of the post-Soviet governments were met with serious domestic opposition; and with Vladimir Putin, there was a gradual shift in Russia s position which resulted in the cold peacebetween Russia and the West. Ukraine has gained a new importance in Rus- sian foreign policy since Russia s position in Ukraine is tied to Putin s new military and political doctrines which assert Russia s place in the world as the successor of the Soviet Union. This paper deals with the effect of the Russian foreign policy shaped around these new doctrines on U.S.-Ukraine relations.
