Abstract

This study examined the history of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as the causes of the ongoing Russo-Ukraine war and each country's war strategy. The ultimate purpose of this study is to reach the derivation of Korea's military direction through such analysis. Literature review was mainly used as a research method. As a result of the analysis, the two countries have historically been in constant conflict for a long time, which has led to a terrible result of war. From Russia's point of view, Ukraine has considerable significance from a geopolitical and economic point of view. If Ukraine joins NATO, Russia's dominance over Eastern European ex-Soviet states, including Ukraine, will be weakened. Furthermore, Putin's military action implies some predictability because Ukraine's accession to NATO makes Russia's position in the US-centered global hegemony order narrower. It was confirmed that the Russo-Russian War, which broke out for such a quantitative purpose of Russia, was eventually heading toward the modern war. Furthermore, this study suggested that Korea should make efforts to maintain stable relations between major allies, including the United States, in this aspect of the Russo-Western War. This study has practical implications because it not only provides related basic data through the analysis of the Russo-Western War, but also suggests Korea's military direction through consideration.
