“…The United States and EU in general, while being openly in favor of Ukraine, will most likely not participate in the process directly, since their overly active role would provoke the Russian party. Russia, on the other hand, has lost most of its diplomatic capabilities but can still count on China to serve as an intermediary from their side (Garcia & Modlin, 2022). This is even more possible since in February 2023, Chinese government has published a 12-point peaceful resolution plan regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine, which does not seem very affirmative in nature and fails to attribute blame to the Russian party, but at the same time affirms the principle of sovereignty (The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, 2023).…”

“…For example, Kazakhstan has demonstratively refused to acknowledge any of the quasistates in the east of Ukraine (Bloomberg, 2022). China is also not willing to risk its own economic relations with the western states for the unclear benefits stemming from helping Russia avoid sanctions massively (Garcia & Modlin, 2022). Ergo, any hopes for China to successfully substitute EU and Western nations in terms of trade and finance appear to be unreasonable.…”

Current article analyses the war between Russia and Ukraine through the theory of quality peace in order to answer whether such a resonant military conflict can potentially be resolved with a long-lasting peace with minimum chance for future relapse. The author correlates widely known facts and newest academic research about the ongoing warfare with the main five criteria of quality peace which are supposed to strengthen potential peace and minimize the chance for conflict reoccurrence in the nearest future: governance dimension, equal security, economic growth and possibilities, reconciliation, and civil society. Since in the article the theory is applied to an interstate conflict, all of these will have to be analyzed for both Russia and Ukraine and then compared one against another in order to understand if all the prerequisites for long-lasting peace can be considered properly fulfilled. In addition, the article indicates what measures do indirect participants such as the European Union and the United States of America supposed to take in order to enhance the chances of brokering a sustainable peace. Public Significance StatementThis article focused on studying the possibility of brokering and maintaining a sustainable peace between Russian Federation and Ukraine, which is an issue of high global significance. The authors of the article with the use of quality peace theory have analyzed a potential peace configuration between Russia and Ukraine and have outlined main issues standing in the way of a long-lasting and stable peaceful resolution. The findings of the article suggest that at the current stage of the conflict a possible peace will inevitably prove to be fragile and will have high chances of conflict reoccurrence.

“…Renz (2023) criticizes the failure of Western deterrence due to the lack of a clear strategy and false assumptions about the Kremlin's motivations. Garcia and Modlin (2022) challenge overly simplistic views of China's relationship with Russia and explore the complexities of Sino-Russian relations and the Russia-Ukraine war. Johnson (2022) analyzes the false premises and weak strategy of Russia's invasion, emphasizing Ukraine's resilience and the impact of Western support.…”

The research into the strategies of the sides in the Russia-Ukraine war is of great relevance, as it is one of the most intense conflicts on the territory of Europe since World War II. Further, the violent actions committed by the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine have had an unprecedented impact on the international peace architecture and international relations; they have caused a humanitarian, economic, and social crisis on a regional and global scale. The present research may, most notably, help understand the causes and consequences of the conflict. For this reason, this paper aims to analyze and cover the peculiarities of the main military and political strategies of Ukraine and the Russian Federation in the context of the 2022 war, as well as evaluate specific actions the enemies took against each other as international actors. The updating of the states’ strategies should be noted, as previously Ukraine was regarded only in the context of European integration and reforms, while the full-scale war increases Ukraine’s subjectivity, particularly in terms of planning and implementation of military decisions and more proactive diplomatic efforts. Russia’s strategies were considered in the context of Western theoretical models aimed at establishing it as a regional leader with extensive military potential. Moreover, the beginning of the full-scale war proved that in the situation of the military conflict against Ukraine and its allies Russia’s strategic resources are limited, which calls for further research. The results of this investigation provide a theoretical basis for further research in the field and are of importance for the understanding of security issues, and safeguarding of peace and stability not only in Ukraine and Europe but all around the world.

From a realist perspective, there is a power competition between China and Russia and the US-led West. Russian rulers felt that the very existence of Russia was seriously threatened by the advancement of the West in an anarchic system, and they reacted by launching military intervention in Georgia and Ukraine. The efforts of Russian rulers to firmly bind Central Asian countries to Russia through bilateral economic and military relations as well as regional organizations have also been shaped by their struggle to preserve Russian existence against the West. China’s efforts to bind regional countries to itself through the SCO and the BRI is a power accumulation reaction given by a state that has emerged as a power pole vis-a-vis the dominant power to the possibility of being prevented from strengthening itself within the system. Russia and China’s efforts to act together in regional initiatives have emerged as an effort of balancing the West. Accordingly, China’s becoming more influential in the region has been managed by the two states with the same concern and this has served the interests of regional countries. In this study, Russia and China’s policies towards regional countries and their approaches in regional organizations have been explained and analyzed from the realist perspective.
