The Saratoga Foundation is proud to announce its new research initiative: Strategic Failure in the Ukraine War, led by Roger N. McDermott, a Senior Fellow at The Saratoga Foundation.

The ground-breaking project will explore the systemic weaknesses that led to Russia’s failure in its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Drawing from historical analysis, professional Russian military literature, and exclusive interviews with defense experts and military officers across Europe and Ukraine, this initiative explores the root causes of Moscow’s strategic blunders.

With Russia attempting to reform and reconstitute its military, this timely work offers unmatched insight into the structural challenges and persistent inefficiencies that will likely shape its future warfighting capability—particularly in a potential conflict with NATO. The project is not just an academic analysis—but will be a critical resource for policymakers, defense strategists, and security professionals. It will highlight the disconnect between Russian military doctrine and operational execution, revealing the enduring obstacles the Kremlin faces, despite ambitious reform plans.

As Western nations seek to bolster their defense postures in the wake of the Ukraine war, The Kremlin and Strategic Failure in the Ukraine War offers a forward-looking assessment of how the Russian military might evolve—and where it may continue to falter. This project will influence defense thinking at the highest levels, from Washington to Brussels.
