520 _aSieges, while not as flashy as hybrid warfare or grey-zone conflict, nor as trendy as disruptive technology and its associated concepts, command a central position in the wars of the post-Cold War era. Furthermore, despite being commonly associated with the tactical and operational level of conflict, sieges are often strategic and decisive affairs, as the siege of the US Embassy in Baghdad in December 2019 clearly demonstrated. Sieges bring a degree of decisiveness back to the battlefield, and those of the Russo-Ukrainian War (2014-present) bring this point to bear. In this article, Amos Fox suggests that policymakers, strategists and practitioners must understand how sieges operate and where they fit within war.
