This chapter aims to evaluate the regional and global impacts of the conflict in Ukraine in relation with the challenges posed by Russia to the security of the Euro-Atlantic community. Relations between Russia and the West are going through a period of a clash of principles and interests at all levels which has turned into an asymmetric conflict since 2014. Some analysts even claim that a “New Cold War” has emerged between Russia and the West. Yet, the risk of such a new Cold War directly affects the sustainability of the Trans-Atlantic security architecture especially in the light of Moscow’s efforts to preserve the post-Soviet space as an area of geopolitical turmoil. It can be argued that by punishing Ukraine for its Western aspirations, Moscow expressed its geopolitical will to become a global-although an isolated and hybrid-superpower.
