Dear Madam or Sir,

Russia asserts his power using information, cyber, and hybrid warfare. In our latest Working Paper, Dr Taras Kuzio argues that there are two factors driving these policies: first, an anger held by President Vladimir Putin at what he sees as a hypocritical and duplicitous West from which Russia and Eurasian civilisation must be protected; and second, the goal of reviving Russia as a great power which is respected by the West and rightly aspires to an exclusive “zone of privileged interests.”

The Security Policy Working Papers are intended to stimulate debate and help explain current issues.

They can be found on our website: https://www.baks.bund.de/en/working-papers

We hope you enjoy reading them!

Best regards,

Dr. Karl-Heinz Kamp

President
Federal Academy for Security Policy
