In the April 2015 issue of Kennan Cable, authors Michael Kofman and Matthew Rojansky analyze Russia's involvement in Ukraine, focusing on the hybrid war strategy that encompasses a variety of warfare tools. They argue that Russian operations are not new doctrines but rather adaptations to modern conflict realities. The piece highlights that Russia's takeover of Crimea involved covert military actions and a significant information warfare campaign that caught Ukraine and the West off guard. The authors caution that while hybrid war has become a topic of discussion, it does not reflect a structured military doctrine.
