The UOC professor then speaks to Russia’s modern warfare strategy, discussing its use of both hybrid and grey-zone tactics.
Dr Dov Bachmann goes on to explain how Moscow has leveraged these methods to advance its geostrategic objectives, referencing key operations in breakaway provinces across Ukraine.
