Written by Marcin Grajewski.
As Russia’s war on Ukraine has entered into its 11th month, Moscow’s forces have launched fierce attacks in the east of the country, hoping for gains after a series of retreats in the second half of 2022. In some of the most intense fighting since the invasion, Russia’s onslaught focused on the salt-mining town of Soledar, a stepping-stone in Moscow’s push to capture the entire Donbas region.
In the preceding weeks, Russia has been bombing Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, depriving many areas and people of electricity, heating and water supplies.
Ukraine is preparing to receive Patriot air defence missiles from the United States and Germany. Ukrainian troops were due soon to arrive in the United States to begin training on this advanced defence system.
Meanwhile, the EU has agreed to introduce a price cap for Russian oil at US$60 per barrel.
This note gathers links to the recent publications and commentaries from many international think tanks on Russia’s war on Ukraine. Earlier analyses of the war can be found in a previous edition of the ‘What Think Tanks are Thinking’ series.
