About This Book The war isn't over, but negotiations for a peace treaty have begun. The tide has shifted on the battlefield. While the final chapter has yet to be written, the core components of the war are examined thoroughly in this timely volume from Stavros Lygeros. Concealed Aspects of the War in Ukraine: Beyond the Narratives is titled intentionally, since even the most hawkish observers among us are likely unaware of critical facts surrounding the conflict that have remained in the shadows, mentioned only briefly in mainstream media. These are brought to light in the pages of this book. The goal of the author, a seasoned political analyst and journalist, is to provide a comprehensive anatomy of a war that could — and, arguably, should — have been avoided. Although the conflict is geographically localized, it is, in a broader sense, a global war. And so are the consequences of it, reflected in the book's multifaceted subtitle: Geopolitics – Battles – Propaganda – Geoeconomics – Trump's Diplomacy – Europe's Role – China and BRICS+. The book is structured into five sections: Before the Invasion explores the prelude to the conflict. War and Diplomacy During the Biden Presidency covers the military and diplomatic developments under the current U.S. administration. The Ideological Dimension of the War focuses on the propaganda war and how Russia's self-perception has evolved. The Geoeconomics of the War delves into the economic dimensions of the conflict, with particular attention paid to energy issues. War and Diplomacy during the Trump Presidency examines the shift in U.S. foreign policy and the diplomatic momentum it has generated towards ending the war.
