Summary/Abstract: The Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, has led to far‑reaching re‑evaluations in international policy. It turned out that the absence of the threat of war that had been enjoyed in Europe since the end of the Cold War. As a result, the European Union countries and the countries associated in the North Atlantic Alliance (with small exceptions such as Hungary and Turkey) spoke out against Russian aggression and, as a result, the EU and the United States imposed numerous packages of sanctions on Russia, which are still in force. The article is based on the theory of neoclassical realism, which is the most represent-ative paradigm when pursuing one’s own interests during a war conflict. The main research hypo thesis put forward in the article is the statement that Iran after the Russian invasion of Ukraine has become a partner for Russia, unlike it was in before the outbreak of war. The fol-lowing research questions were formulated for the hypothesis is what were the reasons why Iran adopted a strong pro‑Russian stance and what may be the political and economic con-sequences for Iran as a result of Russia’s support. The article was prepared mainly based on materials in English and Polish.
