Interactive Map: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine

This interactive map complements the static control-of-terrain maps that ISW
daily produces with high-fidelity and, where possible, street-level assessments
of the war in Ukraine.

The PLA’s Evolving Outlook on Urban Warfare: Learning, Training, and
Implications for Taiwan

The West should pay close attention to the Chinese military's preparations for
urban combat, as these efforts will have profound effects on China's policy
toward Taiwan and elsewhere. 

How We Got Here with Russia: The Kremlin's Worldview

In this 2019 report, Nataliya Bugayova breaks down the trajectory of Russian
foreign policy after the fall of the USSR. She argues that the US mistakingly
believed that a brief period of non-assertive foreign policy from the mid-1980s
to mid-1990s was the new norm for Russia.

Ukraine Crisis Coverage

A Russia-prosecuted war in Ukraine, Europe's largest country by landmass and
home to 44 million people, would be a generation-defining humanitarian and
geopolitical disaster. ISW is closely monitoring Russia's military posturing on
Ukraine's border.

Putin's Offset: The Kremlin's Geopolitical Adaptations since 2014

The West has had some success in countering the Kremlin since Russia’s illegal
occupation of Crimea, but Russian President Vladimir Putin has found ways to
offset external pressures on Russia without relinquishing his gains and goals.

IRAN CRISIS UPDATE, OCTOBER 16

Oct 16, 2022 - Press ISW

The IRGC may resume attacks against targets in Iraqi Kurdistan in the coming
days. IRGC and Lebanese Hezbollah (LH) media outlets blamed Kurdish militants’
presence in Iraqi Kurdistan for ongoing, anti-regime protests on October 16.
LH-owned Al Ahed News recirculated an IRGC-owned media outlet article that
claimed that Mossad agents have been working with Kurdish Komala militants to
establish sabotage networks in Iran since 2021. IRGC Telegram channels also
posted an October 16 statement from the chief of the Iranian Armed Forces
General Staff, Mohammad Bagheri, warning that the IRGC will resume attacks into
Iraqi Kurdistan if the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) fails to “deport or
disarm the local militias.”

IRAN CRISIS UPDATE, OCTOBER 15

Oct 15, 2022 - Press ISW

A major fire broke out at the Evin prison in Tehran on October 15, and the
regime used live rounds and tear gas against prisoners and nearby protestors.
Iranian state media made the unsubstantiated claim that inmates started the
fire. Regime security forces used violence against prisoners and nearby
protesters during the fire. Persian-language social media accounts reported that
security forces have blocked roads to the prison and fired live rounds and tear
gas. Social media users and western media outlets reported explosions and
gunshots around Evin Prison.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN ASSESSMENT, OCTOBER 15

Oct 15, 2022 - Press ISW

Russia continues to conduct massive, forced deportations of Ukrainians that
likely amount to a deliberate ethnic cleansing campaign in addition to apparent
violations of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of
Genocide. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin stated on October 14
that “several thousand” children from Kherson Oblast are “already in other
regions of Russia, resting in rest homes and children’s camps.” As ISW has
previously reported, Russian authorities openly admitted to placing children
from occupied areas of Ukraine up for adoption with Russian families in a manner
that may constitute a violation of the Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
