| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the context of the twenty-first-century globalized world, Ukraine is destined to play a pivotal role as the junction of civilizations, precisely in the same manner the country did numerous times in the past. Such a role largely determines Ukraine's geopolitical status as a buffer territory, in which conflicts play out between branches of Christianity and European and Asian cultures. In the twenty-first century, controlling Ukrainian territory has become extremely critical. In contrast to past events, this control has acquired a new and far greater geopolitical significance. |
