CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE RECONFIGURATION OF THE NEW GEOPOLITICAL ARCHITECTURE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CRISIS IN UKRAINE

Summary/Abstract: THE GLOBAL GEOPOLITICAL AND SECURITY ARCHITECTURE IS UNDERGOING PROFOUND CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CRISIS IN UKRAINE, CAUSED BY THE SO-CALLED „SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION” INITIATED BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON FEBRUARY 24, 2022. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE DAMAGE TO NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS OR POLITICAL OR ECONOMIC INTERESTS HAS LED SWEDEN AND FINLAND, RESPECTIVELY UKRAINE, GEORGIA AND THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA TO INITIATE ACCESSION TO NATO OR THE EUROPEAN UNION - WHICH CAN SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE THE GEOPOLITICAL ARCHITECTURE ON THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT - SERIOUSLY IRRITATING THE PRIDE OF THE KREMLIN AUTHORITIES. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE ADOPTION BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION HAS LED TO A NEW DIMENSION IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BRICS STATES, WHICH IS LIKELY TO REAFFIRM ITS ECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL ROLE AND TO COUNTERBALANCE INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY,OF STATES THAT CRITICIZED THE INVASION OF UKRAINE. CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN UKRAINE AND THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF PEACE AND STABILITY ON THE BORDER OF NATO AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ARE MAJOR CONCERNS OF THE CHANCELLORS OF MAJOR STATE ACTORS AT REGIONAL OR GLOBAL LEVEL, AT THE TIME OF WRITING (12.06.2022) AN EFFECTIVE AND PRAGMATIC SOLUTION IS STILL FAR FROM BEING IDENTIFIED.
