Description

On February 24, 2022, large convoys of Russian troops spilled over the border and into Ukraine. Both the Kremlin and international observers anticipated that Volodymyr Zelensky’s government would quickly fall apart. Instead, Ukraine survived the first few days. Within a couple of weeks, Russia’s attack on Kyiv had completely stalled. And within a month, Ukraine had gone on the offensive.
*How Ukraine Survived* examines the political and military decisions that kept the Ukrainian state alive: how Ukraine won the Battle of Kyiv, the Western military aid and economic sanctions game plan, the clever thinking that went into Ukraine’s fall 2022 counteroffensives, and why the war slowed down thereafter. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the Russia-Ukraine War or international politics.
