Abstract

The modern world has created a certain system of rules, which was accepted officially by all states. However, violations of human rights and democratic standards happen in various parts of the globe. Some countries attack others breaking signed agreements of friendship. In such a situation the world is expected to stop the aggressor, which does not always happen. This article shows an analysis of the latest conflict in Ukraine and the world’s response to it. Global community decided not to intervene militarily but to stop Russian aggression by trying to leave it without any sources to continue the war. The effectiveness of this policy and other possibilities to stop the conflict will be studied in the article. From the author’s point of view, the democratic countries of the world were not fast and consistent enough trying to make Russia stop its unannounced war against Ukraine. New scientific elaborations will be used in the article to show unused proposals to solve the situation more successfully.
