2018年的俄罗斯与乌克兰关系：分裂与动荡

Abstract:In 2018， the relations between Russia and Ukraine had the following four characteristics：the diplomatic relations were suspended， the trade continued to recover， the security relations were tense， and the religion was officially separated. Diplomatically， the relations between the two countries continued to deteriorate in 2018， and basically fell into a standstill. Ukraine regarded Russia as an “aggressive country” through the Donbass Integration Act and then withdrew from the Treaty of Friendship， Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Russia announced sanctions against Ukrainian politicians and businesses， and abandoned dialogue with Poroshenko. Economically， the trade between the two countries continued to recover in 2018， but the Ukrainian government announced its withdrawal from the CIS and terminated the special economic partnership with Russia. In the security area， the military confrontation between the two sides was strengthened， and a military friction occurred in the Kerch Strait which caused Ukraine to declared a 30-day military status in the border area with Russia. Culturally， the Ukrainian Orthodox Church gained independence， causing a major cultural division between the two countries， triggering the dramatic division between the Moscow Parish and the Pope of Constantinople.
