RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN WAR: MEDIATION OPPORTUNITIES AND RISKS

Abstract

The problems of mediation activity in the settlement of international conflicts are a actual problem of modern world politics. Many international disputes and conflicts, thanks to peacekeeping activities and mediation, were resolved by agreements, without turning into bloody scenarios. But the complexity of the current conflicts in the world and frequent violations of generally accepted norms of international law determine the need to rethink the mechanisms of mediation activity.

In this article, the author tries to consider modeling scenarios for the participation of countries applying for the role of mediators in the settlement of the situation in Ukraine. The issue of establishing peace in Ukraine is complex, because all the norms of mediation have spent their resources, although there are a number of countries that can influence the situation. The main purpose of the article is to consider the possibilities and interests of a number of countries that seek to play a decisive role in the process of establishing a dialogue between the conflicting parties. Also, the study presented in the article focuses on international peacekeeping in the context of modern challenges and changing global dynamics. The work examines various aspects and approaches to peacekeeping based on historical data and modern realities of international relations.
