Flight MH17, Ukraine and the new Cold War

Book • 2018
Kees van der Pijl investigates the political and strategic forces that produced the crisis in Ukraine, using the MH17 downing as a focal point for broader tensions.

The book traces the interplay of Western policies, NATO expansion, and local dynamics that contributed to the conflict and its international repercussions.

It critiques mainstream narratives and highlights how geopolitical rivalries shaped the events and subsequent propaganda.

Van der Pijl situates Ukraine as a staging ground for a renewed confrontation between Russia and the West, examining diplomatic, military, and intelligence dimensions.

The book argues that the MH17 incident both reflected and intensified a new Cold War environment in Europe.
