note = {Russia’s attack on Ukraine in 2022 was called a watershed in postwar
European history. The West sees Putin’s Russia on the way to
restoring the former Soviet Union. But Putin’s increasingly
aggressive stance was also a reaction to Western politics. The real
possibility of a new security and peace order in Europe opening in the
1990s was not pursued. Instead, NATO was enlarged to the east. Now, a
massive arms build-up is on the way. Using historical sources,
international news media, representative surveys, and personal
interviews with people in Ukraine, Max Haller shows that this war has
not been predetermined and – following Kant – peace initiatives
are possible even now. In these, the European Union should assume a
leading role.},
