abstract = "The Russo-Ukrainian war that broke out in 2014 in the wake of Russia{\textquoteright}s annexation of Crimea continues to be all too rarely noticed in the West. Observers comment widely on the novel {\textquoteleft}hybrid{\textquoteright} character of warfare as developed and trialed by the Kremlin worldwide during the recent years, but pay scant attention to the Russian {\textquoteleft}training ground{\textquoteright} in eastern Ukraine. The article probes into the realities of the ongoing RussoUkrainian war, alongside the ideological underpinnings of the Kremlin{\textquoteright}s intervention and Ukraine{\textquoteright}s response to this attack. It appears that the Russian government adopted ethnolinguistic nationalism, typical of Central Europe, namely, that all Russian-speakers constitute the Russian nation, especially if their communities compactly inhabit areas directly bordering on the Russian Federation.",
