Abstract
Combined war is known as one of the newest methods of fighting in the current era in the conflicts of countries. Non-linear, insurgency-oriented or limited war is one of the titles used for it. In the war between Russia and Ukraine, which includes military, cyber, intelligence, etc. dimensions, the use of combined warfare has been prioritized by both countries. Russia, as a great power, has started a conflict with a country that is not very prominent in wars, which has not achieved some goals in addition to its progress. Western aid to Ukraine, the formation of operational cyber war units, information war, influence, etc. are all concepts that play a role in this. The current research will answer a question with this theme: How effective was the process of actions, the extent of Russia's power and its progress in the combined war against Ukraine? The hypothesis has been expressed as an answer to it, factors such as weak military planning, low combat readiness, Western aid in various offensive, defensive and cyber fields, infiltration of the warring forces such as the Wagner group, are among the factors. which have caused the erosion of the Russian army in the Ukraine war, and along with the progress, they have also caused setbacks for Russia. Qualitative-analytical method, based on library documents and international scientific journals, is the method used in writing this research. Finally, the findings of the project stated that due to some miscalculations, Russia is involved in a war of attrition, which will sink into its swamp if there is no reasonable and acceptable solution.
