The issue of justifications for external intervention in the Russian strategy is one of the topics that has not been given adequate attention. Therefore, this study came to focus on the nature of these justifications that the Russian Federation has invoked for military intervention in neighboring countries and beyond. At the forefront of these are the security justifications that centered on strengthening the presence The Russian military in the security belt countries, especially Georgia and Ukraine, and areas with geopolitical influence, especially in Syria, and among the moral justifications, including combating terrorism, the slogan of combating which has become a consensus at the global level, in addition to the justification for protecting the Russian Orthodox ethnic and religious minorities in Georgia and Ukraine, after religion and nationalism are provocative elements. For collective awareness and mobilization in the name of religious truth and doctrine alone, and thus the decisions of military intervention became religiously blessed under the name of the Holy March, and between what is a historical justification aimed at restoring the legacy of the Soviet empire, and what is a linguistic justification that seeks to protect speakers of the Russian language from persecution, especially in Ukraine.
