ESSAY ON THE VALUE-IDEOLOGICAL ASPECT OF STRATEGIC FOREIGN POLICY PLANNING (Russo-Ukrainian War case)

Abstract

The article highlighted the problem of value defining in the geopolitical prospects. Geopolitical strategic planning as well as the soft power of the state is based on the value system, which was the object of this analysis. Deep historical contradictions between two nations (Ukraine and Russia) have led to the war, and the next steps in architecting a global security system claim to the new unions and alliances, which should be built on unified values.

Value backgrounds of the current war are dynamic systems and uncertain conditions, total disinformation and Russian myths, and the battle between autocracies and democracies. The value system could become the core basis of the state's mission and strategy. Values guide the behavior of members of society, the decision-making process, and the choice of strategies, can serve as a powerful tool for transformation in different fields of economy, motivation to work or even to fight.

The article determined the great difference between the two nations (Ukrainian and Russians) and examined Huntington’s approach to the Ukrainian future geopolitical position.
