| Summary/Abstract |
THE SYSTEM of international relations and the world order are being "tested by Ukraine," the situation in which Russia's relations with East Asia are not an exception but a confirmation of the process and an illustration of it.The U.S. Administration resolved to isolate Russia from the rest of the world urged the EU, the rest of the continent and also the East Asian and APR countries to introduce anti-Russian sanctions. In July 2014, at the height of the scandal around the Malaysian "Boeing" shot down over Eastern Ukraine, Peter Harrell, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counter Threat Finance and Sanctions, travelled far and wide across the region to persuade top officials and leaders of the business communities to side with the United States.
