1.2 Statement of the problem
Since 2014, the Russian-Ukrainian
crisis, which has periodically devolved into an armed war between Russia
and Ukraine, has remained one of the most significant causes of stress
in Europe, if not the whole globe NEU,(2022). The possibility of
bringing Ukraine into NATO has been on the table in recent weeks,
raising the potential of military confrontation and war
(Poroshenko,2022). Assist. Prof. Dr. Erdi afak, a lecturer in the Near
East University International Law Department and Deputy Director of the
Near East Institute, said that the United Nations failed to be an
effective actor in the crisis that began between the two countries and
turned into a Russia-West showdown, and that this situation has
heightened tensions even more (NEU,2022). Why is it that the UN is
unable to take a more active role in this crisis? The answer to this
issue derives from the fact that Russia, one of the UN Security
Council's five permanent members, is at the core of the conflict, and
the People's Republic of China, another permanent member, has sided with
Russia Tim,(2022). Because Russia and China have the authority to veto
decisions made by the UN Security Council, the UN is unable to play a
proactive role in this problem Tim,(2022). As a result, the researchers
were compelled to investigate the role of mediation in the
Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
