Russia’s expanded invasion of Ukraine violently ended European illusions that war could never again occur on the continent. Having focused largely on “grey zone” or “hybrid threats” many in the West discounted the possibility of conventional war., and failed to see how Russia believed that, in many ways, it was already at war with the West. Indeed, Moscow’s “Special Military Operation” one year on has dramatically challenged the West’s views of Russia’s understanding of war.
Dr. Oscar Jonsson, the author of “The Russian Understanding of War” joins CSPC to discuss how the expanded invasion of Ukraine fits within Russia’s longer-term understanding of war and, perhaps even more importantly, how the outcome of the war will affect the thinking of Russia’s elites on military affairs and the country’s strategic culture. Dr. Jonsson will be in conversation with Joshua C. Huminski, the Director of the Mike Rogers Center for Intelligence & Global Affairs.
