In a 2015 article he contradicted Western media portrayal of the initial stages of the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]] in 2014.<ref>{{cite book |authors=Wade, Robert|year=2015|title=The Ukraine crisis is not what is seems|url=https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/61428/1/Wade_Ukraine_crisis_is_not_what%20it_seems.pdf|publisher=[[Le Monde]] diplomatique|access-date=27 September 2023}}</ref> In March 2022, Wade [https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2022/03/30/why-the-us-and-nato-have-long-wanted-russia-to-attack-ukraine/ wrote] a blog post claiming the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]] was the result of [[Vladimir Putin]] falling into a "trap" set by the US and NATO,.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.globalpolicyjournal.com/blog/30/03/2022/why-us-and-nato-have-long-wanted-russia-attack-ukraine | title=Why the US and NATO have Long Wanted Russia to Attack Ukraine }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.peoplesworld.org/article/russia-may-have-fallen-into-a-ukraine-trap-set-by-the-u-s/ | title=Russia may have fallen into a 'Ukraine trap' set by the U.S. | date=8 April 2022 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.thenorthlines.com/russian-president-may-have-fallen-into-a-ukraine-trap-set-by-the-u-s/ | title=Russian President may have fallen into a 'Ukraine trap' set by the U.S. - Northlines | date=11 April 2022 }}</ref> The implication of Wade's theory (that the invasion was the result of a deliberate attempt to 'bait' Russia) is contradicted by openly-available cautions from influential American, government-affiliated think tanks. For example, the [[RAND Corporation|Rand Corporation]], who concluded that efforts to "overextend" Russia were "impractical" and risky in a 2019 research report ''Extending Russia'' (RR 3063).<ref>{{Cite book |date=2019 |title=Extending Russia |url=https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html |access-date=2022-06-27 |website=Extending Russia.
