Russia, on the other hand, believes that its eastern position and regional and international supremacy require, above all, its full influence over its vital areas bordering its territory, as well as the spread of influence over Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and the disputed Crimea.Ukraine is the center of the new global crisis.
