The concept of ontological security as an explanatory mechanism for the causes of Russian aggression against Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to recognise the extent to which researchinto Russian aggression against Ukraine has progressed using one schoolof international relations (IR) – ontological security. This approach is intendedto refine the inference process in relation to the classical SM schools. The ar-ticle draws on the first scholarly articles addressing the issue and criticallyevaluates them. Conclusions resulting from their critical reading allow point-ing out the presence of a significant cognitive gap in relation to the analysedproblem, prescribing to undertake empirical research on Russian autobio-graphical narratives of wartime using specialised interpretative tools.
