The Russian-Ukrainian Crisis: A Study of Political and Legal Considerations

Abstract

This research examines the Russian-Ukrainian crisis and its political and legal implications, aiming to study the pressures generated by this crisis on the global stage. The research seeks to provide an overview of this crisis, from its inception to the significant outcomes, developments, and escalations. Russia's unlawful annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and its destabilization efforts in eastern Ukraine have compelled the United States and its European allies to reassess their approach towards Europe. The study employs a descriptive-analytical methodology and is divided into three sections. The first section explores the origins of the crisis and Ukraine's significance to Russia. The second section discusses the repercussions of the crisis on Europe and the Middle East, covering two aspects. Finally, the third section examines the future trajectories of the international order following the Russian-Ukrainian war. The first aspect explores the future paths of international units, while the second aspect investigates the future paths of international systems.
