Contemporary Security Policy, Vol 44, No 4, October 2023, page: 497-512Summary: Few predicted the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine and especially its brutality. Similarly, Ukraine’s capable and determined resistance came as a surprise to many. Ukraine, viewed through the Russian lenses, was erroneously characterized as “weak” and “fragmented.” In turn, Russia was seen as a modern power seeking a “sphere of influence” through attraction and occasional meddling in neighbors’ affairs. The Ukraine–Russia relations were misconstrued as “brotherly.” It argues that Russia should be understood as a colonial power whose aggression aims to re-establish supremacy over the Ukrainian nation.
