Putin’s War Against Ukraine

The book Putin’s War Against Ukraine by Taras Kuzio provides a comprehensive analysis of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Kuzio focuses on national identity as the root of the crisis. Russia has long refused to recognize Ukrainians as a separate people, leading to tensions and territorial disputes. Putin’s unprovoked war in the Donbas region and the annexation of Crimea escalated the conflict, resulting in civilian casualties, displacement, and infrastructure destruction. The book sheds light on Russia’s unwillingness to recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders. Kuzio also debunks myths surrounding the conflict, making it a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and journalists.
