Abstract
February 24, 2022, after several months of preparation, Russia launched a full-scale war against Ukraine. For the EU and NATO states, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine means, inter alia, a major change for their security. The high-intensity war has been going on over a year now, and its consequences include tens of thousands of victims, enormous destruction in Ukraine, a few million refugees, very large military aid for Ukraine provided by NATO states etc. But the war in Ukraine is not just another local conflict of importance only to the countries directly involved in this war. The main thesis of the paper is the statement that the war in Ukraine is an event that will have a key impact on the international order in the global dimension for at least the next few decades. The aim of the paper is to identify and analyze the most important implications of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine from the perspective of a country directly bordering Ukraine and Russia.
