“…Indeed, more critical is the truth that the pipeline from which Russian gas is provided comes to Europe through Belarus and Poland by means of Ukraine (Von Hirschhausen, 2005). The other pipeline, which is known as Nord Stream Two, supplies gas from Western Siberia to Europe using the Baltic Ocean in 2011 (Adomeit, 2016). Germany needs the gas supplies not to be influenced within the occasion of a military emergency, so it frantically needs a secure supply of gas through an extra pipeline Nord Stream Two within the Baltic Ocean (Adomeit, 2016).…”

Russian deployment of troops on the Ukrainian border is a clear threat of war, which the US-led Western block perceives truly. This research aims to analyse Russia's motives for opposing Ukraine. Europe's geopolitical and geo-economic situation needs serious attention to be studied systematically. A qualitative fact-based approach is used, and a descriptive analysis has been done for this research. The current security dynamics amidst the Russia-Ukraine conflict have jeopardised the security structure of the entire European region. All such development is no doubt a threat to the security of Europe. One of the immediate reasons Russia deployed its troops on Ukraine's border was to stop Ukraine from joining NATO, for which Russia had threatened both Ukraine and the US-led Western block. As the Ukraine crisis unfolds, geopolitical shifts have pushed Russia and China closer together. Consequently, this closeness between China and Russia is seen as alarming in the West. Further, the crises have highlighted differences within the Western alliance, like no consensus, as they do not agree on how to respond to this worst situation. It has further intensified the polarisation of the East and the West and has raised tensions.

“…In 1987, Gorbachev, determined to promote domestic reform and improve economic performance, rescinded the Breshnev doctrine and made it known that hard-liners in Eastern European governments should not reckon with Moscow calling on the Red Army to back up unpopular Communist regimes (Adomeit, 1998). But it was on the Kremlin to end the system conflict.…”

“…Some authors argue that Reagan's defense buildup deliberately forced the Soviet leadership to acknowledge the failure of its domestic system and hence the USSR's inability to persist in the contest and sustain bipolarity (Adomeit, 1998;Gaddis, 1987;Wells' article in Hogan, 1992). The Kremlin demonstrated its self-confidence by expanding Soviet naval forces and establishing bases, however short-lived, stretching from Vietnam via Mozambique, Somalia, and Angola to Central America.…”
