Editorial: Ukraine in the XXI century - the multidimensional challenges for the country and international community

Summary/Abstract: An idea to publish the special issue on Ukraine emerged in 2023 and at that time it was associated with the Visegrad + project: Ukrainian refugees in Central Europe and the Balkans - lessons learned and policy recommendations. The project was prepared and implemented by the academics (universities) of the Border and Regional Studies Network established within the CEEPUS. Originally, we were focused mainly on the issue of Ukrainian refugees and their reception in different, mainly Central European and Balkan countries, thus few of the articles published within this special issue are the result of this project. However, we wanted to have a wider and multidimensional picture of contemporary Ukraine, where the issue of refugees is one of many important topics to be covered. Thereby, as a result of an open call, we are able to present a selection of articles tackling a broader set of research problems demonstrating a variety of areas important in understanding Ukraine and its international surroundings.
