Russia's War in Ukraine - The Domestic, Neighborhood and Foreign Policy Nexus

Abstract

Russia's military intervention will change Russia itself and its relations towards post-Soviet countries. It will undermine Putin's great power ambitions and role as a hegemon in its post-Soviet neighborhood. Further securitization and isolation will weaken Russia's ability to modernize. This will further fuel the disintegration of the post-Soviet space and weaken Russia's role in a multipolar world.
