The Russian–Ukrainian war is transforming world institutions, including NATO. The partnership and cooperative security policy, enshrined in NATO’s previous concept, was defined by a sustainable world order and international law. The war in Ukraine demonstrated the incompetence of major world security institutions and defined the challenges of their rapid transformation to effective reformatting. NATO, which has a new format for the organization’s development after the Ramstein meeting on April 26, 2022, actively joined this process. At the same time, the contemporary resolution of war and peace issues requires a transition from the concept of “peace agenda” to that of peace engineering. NATO’s peacemaking capabilities in resetting the interaction and transformation of U.N. peacekeeping determine the transition from nonsystemic peacemaking activities to the formation of a peace engineering program environment, which consists of the political-military, diplomatic, political and economic, logistical, social and humanitarian, and environmental and technogenic environments.
Features of the phenomenon of human decision-making in the conditions of war are analyzed. The paper is revealing the phenomenon of decision-making during war based on the events form the modern Russian-Ukrainian war. The research findings state that decision-making in the conditions of war has differences between people who defend their lives, family, country, and aggressors who seek to seize territories, turn free people into acolytes or colonies of their state, and impose autocracy on a democratic society. The authors defined the attractors of people's decision-making in war, such as: “home”, “heart and mind”, “strength and will”, “heroism and dignity”, “social order and victory”. The conducted research has a conceptual nature and serves as a methodological basis for conducting practical scientific research on the development of effective decision-making skills in conditions of destructive human influence and existential disasters.
