This book, in particular, is about to be very popular. It was written in 1997 but has been called "Putin's Playbook" because of how much it has shaped the Russian foreign policy over the last couple of decades.

On Ukraine in particular -
"Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible"
