Understanding the Russo-Ukrainian War: A Guide From War on the Rocks

We at War on the Rocks have curated this list of articles and podcasts to help you gain a deeper understanding of the history, drivers, background, and events of Russia’s massive assault on Ukraine. Whether you are a soldier or a student, a policymaker or a pundit, a teacher or a techie, this will be useful for you.

Critically, these offerings help place the conflict in the broader context of relations and confrontations between Russia and the West. These resources go back to 2014 and are organized by focus: accounts from the frontlines/field, retrospectives, American support for Ukraine, Wagner, Prigozhin, and mutiny, strategy and the military balance, diplomacy and sanctions, history, resistance, nuclear weapons and arms control, cyber and technology, energy, Russian politics, and more. This list will be updated regularly.

Editor’s note: With the war in Ukraine nearing its third anniversary, we have updated this guide with all of our material that can help you better understand the conflict. Become a member today to seamlessly access all of these articles and podcasts.
