The Russian-Ukrainian war and its impact on the future of the international system

This research deals with the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the main reasons for its outbreak, as well as its geopolitical, economic, military and security dimensions and repercussions, not only on the parties to the conflict, but on the whole world. The Russian-Ukrainian war is not just a passing event during international relations. Rather, it has become one of the most important international events in the twenty-first century, due to many local, regional and international considerations, the most important of which is that the future of the current international system, with all its pillars, balances and alliances, may depend on the outcome of this war and who will be the victorious party at the end. If Ukraine wins, with NATO behind it, Western hegemony will be consolidated over the current international system, and there will be no change in its structure. But if Russia wins, it will be able, together with China and the countries that support them, to shape a multipolar international system, and herein lies the importance of this research that deals with this war.
