Changing Character of Russia’s Understanding of War: Policy Implications for the UK and Its Allies
Dr Andrew Foxall
Russia’s current leaders believe their country is at war with the Euro-Atlantic, whether the countries of the Euro-Atlantic recognise this or not. This belief is deep-seated and reflects an incompatibility between how Russia views the world and how the countries of the Euro-Atlantic view the world. It is this belief that drives Russia’s hostile actions across a range of domains -including in cyberspace, in disinformation campaigns, in assassinations of its own citizens as well as foreign citizens abroad, and in attempts to destabilise countries.
