Russian-Ukranian Conflict and Dilemma of Strategic Choice for Central Asian Countries

Abstract

The material provides a brief overview of the emerging international processes against the backdrop of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the response of individual global and regional subjects of international law to the ongoing contradictions.

Also, the article reflects the negative consequences that have arisen or will arise as a result of the noted interstate contradiction. An assessment is given of the existing relationships between the conflicting subjects of international law with the countries of Central Asia, and are outlined the main factors that refrain the latter from drastic foreign policy initiatives in support of one side or another.
