Making sense of Russia's invasion of Ukraine
by Paul Le Blanc

The Russia’s war on Ukraine is devastating the country and reshaping politics around the world. The invasion is a major factor in fragmenting left-wing forces. In this small book, Paul Le Blanc tries to ‘make sense of the Russian invasion of Ukraine’. His starting point is for a victory for Ukrainian self-determination and opposition to imperialism in all its forms. £5 + p&p
