Abstract
THE GOAL OF THIS PAPER IS TO PRESENTTHE MAIN ISSU E OF THE BLACK SEA REGION WHICH IS REPRESENTED BY THE UKRAINIAN CRISIS WHICH IS BEING CONSTANTLY AND STRONGLY MONITORED BY THE MAIN ACTORS OF THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM WHICH ALL HAVE GEOPOLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND GEOSTRATEGIC INTERESTS IN THE REGION. THE RESOL UTION OF THIS CRISIS BY INTERNATIONAL INTERVENTION IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE MAIN FACTOR LEADING TO THE CURRENT CRISIS WAS THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION TRYING TO MAINTAIN ITS INFLUENCE IN THE BLACK SEA REGION USING THE KOSOVO PRECEDENT. I WOULD THEORIZE THAT THE SOLUTION TO THE CONFLICT IN UKRAINE WILL COME IN THE FORM OF A FEDERALIZATION AND INTERNATIONAL ACCEPTANCE OF THE EASTERN UKRAINE REGION WHICH WILL THEN FUNCTION AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE WESTERN ECONOMIES ANS RUSSIA.
