Putin’s War on Ukraine Special Coverage

(Russian/Русский перевод) Over two decades, Brian has majored in Russian history, studied Russia's war against Georgia in graduate school, and covered Russia and its foreign policy as a journalist, including writing for the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC) from 2015-2017 as one of the most popular guest scholar contributors until he was censored for his post on Prevezon's corrupt work for the Kremlin.  Since 2014, he has covered in detail Russia's longstanding campaign to dominate Ukraine and turn it into a de facto vassal, diving into the historical context of Russia's 2014 military aggression against Ukraine in Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk, continuing his coverage through The (First) Russo-American Cyberwar's 2016 U.S. presidential election interference—a central aim of which was to further the Kremlin's Ukraine campaign partnering with a pliant Donald Trump—through Trump's first impeachment centering on Ukraine, through Russia's 2020 election interference, and up to Putin's current exponential military escalation (he was possibly the only analyst to predict beforehand in writing Ukraine's sinking of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet Flagship, the Moskva).  This coverage includes his groundbreaking eBook, A Song of Gas and Politics: How Ukraine Is at the Center of Trump-Russia, or, Ukrainegate: A “New” Phase in the Trump-Russia Saga Made from Recycled Materials (available in Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, & EPUB) excerpts below.
