Description
Europe's most significant conflict since World War II is being tested by modern warfare. The war between Russia and Ukraine has been a proving ground for modern weapons and operational concepts. In this analysis, Sir Lawrence Freedman examines the contrasting strategies employed by the two sides.
Ukraine has fought a traditional war, seeking victory through battle, while Russia has adopted a more comprehensive approach, combining conventional battles with attacks on Ukraine's socio-economic structure. The author explains why the Russian force, which appears to have the upper hand, has been unable to defeat and subjugate Ukraine.
This in-depth study provides valuable insights into the conduct of modern warfare and the challenges faced by nations in conflict.
