Summary/Abstract: The current volume entitled “The Background and Anatomy of Russian Aggression” is the first volume of the announced series “Putin’s war in Ukraine” which will discuss issues and topics related to Putin and Russian military aggression in Ukraine, especially focusing on the background of this large-scale war which Russia launched on 24 February 2022. However, the Russian war against Ukraine started back in 2014 (annexing Crimea and creating the terrorist quasi-states the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Lugansk People’s Republic in the Donbass region).1 No war has been this large, caused this much destruction or forced this many people to live as refugees since 1945, after the Second World War ended in Europe.
