Australian Institute of International Affairs | A Strategic Analysis of the Russo-Ukraine War | Richard Iron CMG OBE @AIIAvision | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
The Russo-Ukraine War is the bloodiest, most extensive and most dangerous war of our time. It has now been fourteen months since Russia's invasion of Ukraine and five months since Richard Iron's last strategic analysis of the war.
There is absolutely no certainty of how this war will evolve over the coming months nor how, eventually, it might end.
Richard Iron will explore the military, political and economic factors that could influence developments both on the ground and in the political arena. He will examine what each side wants to achieve and the likelihood of them achieving it. He will look particularly at the state of Russian internal politics, assess the true level of support in Russia for the war and the possibility of regime collapse.
Can either side achieve their military goals? How important is Western support for Ukraine and can Ukraine rely on it? How secure is the Putin regime and what may follow it? If his regime does collapse, what might that look like?
