Russia's War in Ukraine Debates on Peace, Fascism, and War Crimes, 2022–2023

“Winfried Schneider-Deters is one of the best German experts on Ukraine with an impressive publishing record and deep knowledge not only of the foreign and domestic politics of the country, but also of daily Ukrainian life. This book is a meticulous analysis of the German public debate of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine since February 2022. It should be of interest not only to German, Ukrainian, and Russian readers, but also to all those who wonder about the current state and future course of Germany's relations to Eastern Europe." —Dr Andreas Umland, Analyst, Swedish Institute of International Affairs, Stockholm

Schneider-Deters offers a deep understanding of Russia’s war against Ukraine and criticism of what he views as Western naivety towards Russia.
