OPERATION Z (RUSSIAN VERSION)

Why did Putin launch Operation Z in Ukraine? Are Ukrainian forces using neo-Nazi volunteers? What is the reality of the military conflict over the past six months? What do we know about war crimes like Bucha? Have Western economic sanctions actually worked? Has the massive shipment of weapons by the West had an effect on the conflict?

After the best-seller, Putin, Master of the Game? which was praised worldwide, Jacques Baud returns in this book to the root causes of the war in Ukraine and reveals the real and hidden reasons that pushed Vladimir Putin to intervene on February 24, 2022. Using information from intelligence services and official reports, Baud analyzes the course of the military actions and the way they were interpreted in the West. He explains the political and economic disruption of the world order, as well as the long-term consequences on our daily lives caused by Western sanctions against Russia. Baud then explains how the conflict could have been avoided and which options were purposely avoided by the United States and Europe. This is a tell-all book that must be read by everyone-because, whether we realize it or not, we are all being affected by the war in Ukraine.

Colonial Jacques Baud is a former member of the Swiss Strategic Intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of Doctrine of the United Nations Peace Operations. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, including after the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and 2017.  He is the author of several books on intelligence, war and terrorism, including Putin, Master of the Game?
