Résumé

How Ukraine lost the war against Russia

Why did Ukraine lose the war against Russia? How do the two sides think and conduct their operations? What mistakes were made on both sides? How did the West contribute to Ukraine's defeat?
To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information, American, Western and Russian documents that analyse Russian (and Soviet) strategies and tactics over the last 50 years. He explains how Russia understands and conducts war, and shows how our ignorance of this reality has pushed Ukraine towards defeat.
Following on from the bestsellers Putin, the master of the game, Operation Z and Ukraine between war and peace, whose analytical work has been acclaimed the world over and whose books have been translated in several countries (United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Russia, and soon Italy and Spain), the author returns to the war in Ukraine and more specifically to Russian operational art over the last two years, during the Second World War and the war in Afghanistan.

Jacques Baud was a member of Swiss strategic intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of the United Nations peace operations doctrine. During the Cold War, he worked on Soviet military art and the war in Afghanistan. Within NATO, he was involved in programmes in Ukraine, particularly after the Maïdan revolution between 2014 and 2017. In addition to his major works on the conflict in Ukraine, he is the author of several books on intelligence, war and terrorism, including Governing by fake news, Defeating jihadist terrorism and The Navalny affair, all published by Max Milo.
