Al-Afandi: Russia-Ukraine War Aims to Reset NATO Borders
The main goal of the Russian-Ukrainian war is to revert NATO's borders to their 1997 positions, following a Russian request to NATO in December 2021 for the alliance to withdraw from Eastern Europe and for its member states to exit the alliance. Despite military expansions and on-the-ground developments, the strategic aim of the conflict remains to restore the situation to what it was before NATO’s expansion after 1997. American moves, such as strengthening forces in Poland, reflect a conviction that returning to the 1997 status quo is necessary, and that Russia's demands still play a role in negotiations. Analyzing the strategic dimension of the conflict requires looking beyond military developments to understand the broader implications.
