Abstract

Although the war in Ukraine is geopolitically considered a European war, in practice it is a conflict of world powers that are centered around the predicted collapse of American global hegemony and clearly want a new order. In such a situation, Russia's attitude, behavior and performance towards Ukraine can have important consequences for the future of the world order. Therefore, the main goal of the following article is the geopolitical requirements of the new world order for Russia with regard to the war in Ukraine, so the main question arises as follows: what is the logic of the strategy of Russia under the leadership of Vladimir Putin regarding the crisis in Ukraine. does In response to the mentioned question, the article argues by using geopolitical theories that Russia's rationale for interfering in the Ukraine crisis is to seek a share in the future of the world order as a global power, which of course should be noted that Russia has a special role in this crisis. It has shown that these issues are important from different dimensions, and one of the most important aspects of this issue in the short term is related to Moscow's geopolitical interests in the Ukraine crisis, which has not been addressed much in past researches. The findings of the following article show that the war in Ukraine as a geopolitical trigger has influenced the international order and there is a possibility that the post-war Ukraine promises a new order in the world. This research is based on the descriptive-analytical approach using the method of research process and sample research as qualitative research methods, which have been used in collecting information from documentary-library sources and reliable cyberspace websites.
