The Ukraine research program at the Norwegian Defence University College (NDUC) provides knowledge and research on Ukraine and Russian military and non-military operations in Ukraine.

From small-scale war, annexation and "hybrid" war to full invasion and full-spectrum operations. The purpose of the program’s research is to bring forth knowledge about:

  • Russian military and non-military instruments and military operations towards Ukraine from 2014 and onwards, especially in the context of the 2022 invasion.
  • How Ukraine responds to Russian strategies and builds resistance.
  • Relevance for Europe and Norway – Ukrainian experiences that can help strengthen European and Norwegian resilience and doctrines.

 

The program consists of the international research project Contested Ukraine (funding: The Norwegian Research Council) and the research and development collaboration Total Defense between a team from various departments at NDUC and the National Defence University College of Ukraine (NDUU) (funding: Norwegian Ministry of Defence).
