Key Issues Of
The War
• When has the war started -
2014 or 2022?

• Why has Russia started the

war?

• Is this a World War?

What does this war
look like?
• WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE OF UKRAINE
• The most intensive warfare in Europe after 1945, but not
the World War
• Clash of the largest country in Europe and the largest
country in the world (prospects of disintegration of
Russia)
• Attack of nuclear power on a country that voluntarily
renounced nuclear weapons (collapse of the non-
proliferation regime) IN 1994
• War of countries with the most prominent Orthodox
communities (the fate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
(Moscow Patriarchy) and the Russian Orthodox Church)
Fakes and
Misinformation
• An obligatory element of modern warfare
• FAKE is the cheapest weapon of mass
destruction
• EVERYONE, without exceptions, becomes the
victim of fakes
• Propaganda is part of war, and it often relies
on fakes
The West and
Ukraine
• HIMARS factor and Russian
propaganda
• Destruction of the missile
cruiser “Moskva” and mastering
of the Alliance's military
equipment
• Creation of the RAMMSTEIN
format as the future format of
international relations
• The Law on Land-Lease in the
USA
• Changes in the position of
European countries (GB,
Poland, France, Germany, the
first ever EU military aid)
Stages of awareness of Russian-Ukrainian
war by the West
• Before February 24, 2022 - the
supply of anti-tank weapons and
MANPADS
• April 2022 - delivery of 155
caliber howitzers
• Summer of 2022 – HIMARS
• December 2022 - a decision on
the transfer of Patriot batteries
• January 2023 - creation of a tank
coalition
 • Politically, Ukraine is part of the European family
Prospects of • There are no Homo Sapiens who confuse Ukraine and
joining NATO Russia

and EU • Ukraine quickly received the status of a candidate for

EU membership due to political solidarity and the
EU's interest in becoming an operator of the
reconstruction of Ukraine
• Ukraine will become a member of NATO after the
victory over Russia
Kremlin’s tools of war
• Nuclear terrorism
• Sizing the army up
• Global spreading disinformation
• Emphasis on listeners outside the “golden
billion.”
• Shaking the West and undermining its values
• Pseudo-referendums at the occupied territories
• The use of a private military criminal company
VAGNER
Demythologizing Russia
- Lost the status of an understandable and
reliable partner
- The army is no longer “invincible and
legendary.”
- The EU got rid of energy dependence on
Russia
- Restrictions on the entry of citizens to the EU
- The most extensive sanctions in the world’s
history
- Exclusion from sports competitions and
cultural events (cancelling Russia)
THE EDGE OF THE WAR

- Belarus is not Lukashenko only

- Situation in Moldova is alarming
- Erdogan's own game
- China`s “peacekeeping”
- “Grain deal“
TASKS FOR TOMORROW
• What the RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN
peace treaty will look like?
• Who can be an effective mediator?
• How long will the sanctions against
Russia last?
• What will the world be like after the
Russian-Ukrainian war?
• What will happen to the most
powerful alliances – NATO and the
EU – after end of the Russian-
Ukrainian war?
