Understanding the Risk of Escalation in the War in Ukraine
Abstract
Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has imposed devastating losses on the Russian military and on Ukraines military and civilian populations, but both sides have avoided certain escalatory options.Putin has been restrained for several reasons, including fear of NATO's military response; an information flow that filters out negative facts, promoting the view that Russia can win a protracted war; and incremental increases in NATO support for Ukraine.
