The Russia-Ukraine War and the Maidan in Ukraine

Katchanovski, Ivan (2022)

 

“This study examines the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022 and the origins of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the political transition during the Maidan in Ukraine in 2014. This transition of power contributed to the civil war in Donbas, Russian military interventions in Crimea and Donbas, the Russian annexation of Crimea and an international conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the West and Russia. This conflict escalated when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. The research question is as follows: What is the nature of the Russia-Ukraine war and the political transition in Ukraine during the Maidan? This issue produced divergent narratives of this war and the Maidan in scholarly studies, the media, and governments. This paper uses political science theories of wars, mass protests, coups, revolutions, and regime changes and empirical analysis of various evidence to examine the nature of the Russia-Ukraine war and the political transition during the Maidan.”

Assessment of the Ukrainian Armys and Russians Army strengths, vulnerability and capability. This is based on the periode February 2022 to July 2022. Results are important for NATO partners and can help to discuss support opportunities for Ukraine. Take away, 1. Consumption rates are high and critical for high-intensity wars. 2. The Ukrainian Army could resist due to its adaptability and innovation rather than superior equipment. 3. The use of old weapon systems has to be rethought and combined with the impact of new systems. Old systems are not obsolete and the war in Ukraine shows that they are still capable. “For Ukraine, victory is essential but can only be achieved with the ongoing support of its international partners.“
