RIVERS AS HOSTAGES OF ARMED CONFLICTS IN EASTERN EUROPE: THE CASES OF SIVERSKI DONETS, KALMIUS AND DNIESTER RIVERS
Journal Title: Medzinárodné vzťahy - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Current development of the geopolitical confrontation between particular subjects for their spheres of influence has led to formation of the unrecognized states in Eastern Europe – the targeted region of competitive clash between the United States, Russia and the EU. The authors are trying to consider the Dniester, Kalmius and Siversky Donets rivers as examples of delimiting lines of the warring parties and to analyse the environmental aspect of the fact that the mentioned rivers have become naturally dividing frontiers of the conflicts. This paper fed to conduct a comparative analysis of the two conflicts, including the already frozen conflict between Moldova and the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, which has shown the reluctance to acknowledge the collapse of the USSR. Short-term Transnistrian war recouped between Moldovan forces and armed groups of the PMR and culminated in the summer of 1992 on the Dniester River, where Russian peacekeepers is located today. Last but not least, we are focusing on Eastern Ukrainian conflict where the so called Donetsk and Lugansk People’s republics, supported by Russia, are combating the national armed forces of the central Ukrainian authorities, and where Donets and Kalmius became a frontline of two warring parties after the proclamation of temporary armistice.
