Abstract For all the change Russia has gone through in the post-Soviet period, the threads of continuity run deeply and strongly throughout Russian politics and society - including its foreign policy. President Putin's current aggressive bid to subjugate Ukraine, bringing it back firmly into Russia's orbit, is entirely consistent with the Kremlin's longstanding strategic outlook and concerns. It is also an objective Putin has pursued, in various ways, throughout his 22-year-long presidency. Broadly, Putin's overriding objective has been to restore Russia's place as a country acknowledged and respected internationally as a great power and an indispensable partner in managing global and regional issues.
AbstractList Hill discusses the motivations for the Russian invasion of its south-western neighbor. Russia's invasion of Ukraine took even seasoned Kremlin-watchers aback. It should not have. To understand why, we need to consider the drivers of Russia's Ukraine policy, and the wider context of Russia's post-Cold War foreign and strategic policy settings. Through much of the 1990s, and even in the early years of President Vladimir Putin's leadership, there were hopes of closer relations between Russia and Western countries and institutions. There were even suggestions, perhaps not altogether serious, that Russia might join NATO. Immediately after 9/11, Putin was among the first foreign leaders to convey sympathy to the White House, and commit to co-operate in countering international terrorism.
For all the change Russia has gone through in the post-Soviet period, the threads of continuity run deeply and strongly throughout Russian politics and society - including its foreign policy. President Putin's current aggressive bid to subjugate Ukraine, bringing it back firmly into Russia's orbit, is entirely consistent with the Kremlin's longstanding strategic outlook and concerns. It is also an objective Putin has pursued, in various ways, throughout his 22-year-long presidency. Broadly, Putin's overriding objective has been to restore Russia's place as a country acknowledged and respected internationally as a great power and an indispensable partner in managing global and regional issues.
