In the world of 2023, against the background of war in Ukraine and conflict in Israel, is marked by an aggravation of the situation in a number of regional conflicts. According to the annual study of armed conflicts of the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, 183 regional and local conflicts are currently being unfolding in the world.
Middle Eastern conflict, including the situation in the Gaza Sector, plays a "pernicious role" in the general way of conflict. Destructive support by the great powers leads to further aggravation of the conflict in the region.
Although there is no threat to the Great World War, the tension between the US and China is increasing. Studies indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin takes into account this dynamics, taking into account his invasion history, in particular in Georgia in 2008 and annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Ukraine remains an epicenter of attention, in particular through Russia's attempts to seize the mainland. Experts believe that any prospect of conflict solution should include security guarantees for Kiev, ensuring the territorial integrity of Ukraine and protection against external aggression.
According to research, border clashes around the world are common, and Russia's attempt to seize Ukraine is defined as the most destructive. It is noted that the climatic crisis is a multiplier of conflicts and institutional weaknesses in unstable countries.
According to research, the intensity of regional conflicts has increased from year to year. The death toll increased by 14%and the number of violent events by 28%.
In this context, the world faces a serious challenge to ensure stability and peace in a number of regions, directing efforts to prevent further aggravation of conflicts and finding peaceful decisions.
