Recent developments in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine show increasingly complex dynamics. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, both countries have continued to experience military escalation. In recent months, there have been heavy fighting in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, with Ukrainians trying to retake areas controlled by Russian forces. On the diplomatic side, negotiation efforts did not show significant progress. Many Western countries continue to provide military and financial support to Ukraine, including deliveries of advanced weapons such as long-range missile systems and drones. This adds to tensions between Russia and NATO, which Moscow views as an existential threat. In this context, Russia responded by increasing its military activities on its borders and conducting military exercises involving its allied countries. One interesting aspect of this development is the use of modern warfare technology. Ukraine is adopting a variety of advanced technologies, including the use of drones for reconnaissance and attacks. On the other hand, Russia relies on its military experience and heavy equipment such as tanks and artillery. Information warfare has also become an important part of this conflict, with both sides trying to win domestic and international public support. The humanitarian crisis in Ukraine is worsening; millions of civilians were forced to flee, both inside and outside the country. Reports of human rights violations also increased, including attacks on civilian targets. Surrounding countries, including Poland and Romania, are becoming refuges for refugees, increasing the burden on their social and economic infrastructure. In an economic context, the sanctions imposed by the West on Russia have had a major impact on the Russian economy. Nevertheless, Russia is trying to find new markets, especially in Asia and the Middle East. This economic isolation influences Russia’s geopolitical strategy, pushing them closer to allies such as China and Iran. The energy side also plays a key role. The cessation of Russian gas supplies to Europe has caused a spike in global energy prices. To address energy needs, Europe is trying to find alternative energy sources but faces challenges in the transition to renewable sources. These tensions have sparked debate over energy dependence and its future security. This conflict, which is now protracted, has exposed various aspects, from state resilience to international solidarity. The position of each country and the strategic interests involved make this situation even more complicated. With various contributing factors, both military and political, the outcome of this conflict remains difficult to predict; keeping the world’s attention locked on subsequent developments in the broad geopolitical context.
