Ethno-National Basis of Russian Aggression in the Context of Global Security: a Biopolitical Approach

Анотація

The biopolitical approach to the analysis of aggression allows us to analyze one of the causes of the biggest conflict in Europe after the Second World War. The purpose of the analysis was to draw attention to the ethno-national basis of aggression as a global threat to the existence of humanity, stability, and security in the modern world. The unprovoked aggression of the Russian Federation against the sovereign country of Ukraine has a pronounced ethno-national basis based on the idea of ethnocentrism. The ethnocentric ideas of the Russian leadership can pose a real threat not only to Ukraine but also to a number of countries in the world. After all, a system based on this idea creates a feeling of exclusivity in any society (not only the Russian one) and, accordingly, can be the basis for aggression against those societies and those countries that do not agree with this fact. The key hypothesis is that the basis of Russian aggression against Ukraine and the Ukrainian people is not only the desire to seize the territory of an independent state but also the desire to subjugate a sovereign nation – the Ukrainians. A series of documented crimes committed by the Russian Federation against the civilian population of Ukraine testifies not only to the desire for conquest but also to the attempt to destroy the Ukrainian nation physically. In the paper, the problem of the genocide of the Ukrainian people is raised, and the reaction of the international community to the condemnation of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and the genocide of the Ukrainian people is investigated. The inadmissibility of the spread of ethnocentrism and aggression based on ethno-national characteristics in the global dimension is proven. Global changes in the world security system after the end of the war are predicted.
