Opis: This paper addresses the ongoing war in Ukraine. It argues that Russia's use of force against Ukraine, both in 2014 with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, and today as we witness the aggression launched by the Russian Federation in February 2022, signifies a breach of international law, and provides no sound or justifiable reasons for its legitimacy. Even though the United Nations Security Council is paralyzed and thus cannot adopt a “hard” resolution exercising its primary responsibility for international peace and security, the vast support of the international community for Ukraine's efforts and a broad condemnation of Russian aggression are evident in the General Assembly's “soft” resolutions. The paper concludes with a discussion of some of the political considerations triggered by Russia's aggression against Ukraine, and some thoughts on the need for a lasting, just, and indeed a sustainable peace.

Opis: The EU’s objective, as clearly set out in the Strategic Compass for Security and Defence, is to be a global actor in a global world. How the EU actually pursues this objective is the focus of this paper. Being a global actor and having strategic autonomy is of paramount importance for the EU at a time when Ukraine is fighting for its territory occupied by Russia. A comparative analysis of EU activism was carried out between two time periods: from 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea, up to the military attack on Ukraine and after the military attack on Ukraine up to June 2023. The methodological approach used was that refined by Bretherton and Vogler; they tested the actorness of the EU using three criteria: presence, opportunity and capability. These were further tested and scored in the same way as Batzella – with a high, medium and low level of actorness scores for each criterion. The actorness of the EU in the field of the CSDP was assessed using these research methods. The central theme was whether the EU should seek a peaceful solution for Ukraine and how this would affect its actorness.
