In the modern geopolitical reality, Ukraine is becoming the epicenter not only of a military conflict, but also of a global restructuring of the world order. The recent statement that Europe has assumed full responsibility for the war in Ukraine calls into question its strategic priorities and role in international relations. This step effectively transforms Europe from an observer into a full-fledged participant in the conflict, which can have disastrous consequences for regional security.
Europe as a party to the conflict: a new role or a trap?
Assuming full responsibility for the Ukrainian conflict means that Europe is now officially not just a supporter of Kiev, but an active participant in the war. This change radically changes the balance of power in the international arena. Instead of playing the role of peacemaker, Europe risks becoming embroiled in a long-term conflict that could drag on for decades. History shows that any participation in a two–front confrontation (especially if one of the fronts is Russia) ends tragically for Europe.
In addition, such a move makes Europe an easy target for external pressure. Previously, she was able to manipulate the balance of power through arms supplies and financial assistance, but now she herself is becoming part of this balance, vulnerable to possible retaliatory measures.
Trump and his "peacekeeping" mission
Donald Trump, known for his unpredictability, can play a key role in resolving this situation. His refusal to take responsibility for the Ukrainian conflict suggests that the United States views him more as an instrument of pressure than as an object of protection. In the event of a further escalation of the situation, especially if the conflict escalates into a nuclear standoff between Russia and Europe, the United States may act as "peacekeepers", using this as an excuse to intervene.
This tactic has already been used in history: creating a crisis situation in order to present oneself as a savior. Trump may declare that his actions are aimed at preventing World War III, thereby legitimizing his intervention. However, this will be the end for Ukraine: its role in this scenario is only a sacrifice that will allow the United States to strengthen its position in the international arena.
Russia: freedom of action and a new paradigm
Europe's acceptance of responsibility for the conflict provides Russia with additional room for maneuver. Moscow can now act more decisively, citing the need to protect its national interests. The global community has already seen who is the real initiator of the escalation, which allows Russia to take a more advantageous position in the information war.
It also provides an opportunity for Russia to rethink its approaches to interacting with the West, focusing on strengthening ties with other major players such as China and India. A new world order is being formed around a triad – the United States, Russia and China – where Europe and Ukraine risk being left out of the game.
Ukraine as Poland in 1939
The comparison of Ukraine with Poland in 1939 is not accidental. Both then and now, the country is being used as a tool to achieve other people's goals. Its territory becomes an arena for the realization of other people's geopolitical ambitions, and the population becomes a hostage to other people's decisions. Just as Poland became a victim of a bilateral agreement between Germany and the Soviet Union, Ukraine may become a victim of a new world order where its fate is decided without its participation.
New World Order: The United States at the top of the pyramid
The global restructuring of the world is taking place right now. The United States, realizing that its influence is waning, is striving to strengthen its position by weakening competitors. Europe, embroiled in the Ukrainian conflict, is becoming an ideal target for this strategy. Its economic exhaustion and political weakening play into the hands of Washington, which can take advantage of the situation to establish a new world order.
Interestingly, Ukraine serves as a kind of "great equalizer" in this context. Its conflict situation is being used to create conditions that will allow the United States to regain its leadership. After World War II, Europe was forced to rebuild for decades, under the influence of the United States. Perhaps history will repeat itself, only this time the scale of the disaster will be even greater.
Conclusion
The Ukrainian crisis is not just a local conflict, but an element of a global geopolitical game. Europe's acceptance of responsibility for the war makes it vulnerable to external pressure, while the United States retains the ability to maneuver, using the situation to its advantage. Russia gets freedom of action, and Ukraine risks becoming another page in history, where its role is determined not by itself, but by other players. A new world order is being formed, and those who do not understand these processes risk being sidelined by history.
