On February 24, 2022, the Russian army launched a large-scale invasion of the
Ukrainian territory which, as a result of local resistance, failed to achieve the military
objectives initially envisaged, giving rise to the entrenchment of a conflict that
continues up to the time of writing. The war has reached the borders of the European
Union (EU), revealing not only the geopolitical transformations that have taken place
internationally in recent years, but also the different perceptions of the conflict on
Ukrainian soil at a global level. This situation also extends to the positions of the three
largest world economies: The United States, China, and the EU.
