The Russian war on Ukraine: a Strategic View at the Nature and Repercussions

Abstract

Ukraine is considered an area of ​​vital interests within the Russian strategic realm. Therefore, the war that Russia has undertaken is nothing but to achieve its national security in its various components. However, this war, despite the series of progress, has created major repercussions in the international community and the Russian interior that may lead to a decline in the duration of the war. The consensus of American and Western visions, in general, is that Russia is witnessing a stumble in its progress and incurring high human losses, as well as military and economic equipment and capabilities at the level of field war and at the level of the international community, which constituted a slowdown in the movement of Russian penetration towards Ukraine.
