Russian-Ukrainian War, Moral and Economic Implications and Cooperation between Countries and Logistics

Abstract

Undeniably, the results of the war are excruciating for the human race, as the sufferings that follow war are the disgrace, the shame, and the terrible abhorrence of people, because it ravages and destroys their humanity, possessions and even existence. War brings distrust amongst people and nations, a will to surpass others by force, and great suffering. Furthermore, all forms of degeneracy appear, honesty is mocked, and civilization faces the danger of disappearance. War also brings implications not only on a national but on a global level as well. First of all, war results in the death of innumerous people, the loss of their possessions and the destruction of their homes. Most importantly war has severe implications on the national and the global economy, as war includes costs for military operations, and even when the war is over, arises the necessity for rebuilding the cities and aiding the people in need. Long-lasting economic effects appear too, as people stop working and there is a pause in trade and enterprising actions. War also has political and ethical effects, as it can lead to a danger to democracy and the rise of new political movements, mostly non-democratic. Ethics seem to disappear and social structures, such as family and community ties, are fractured. War jeopardizes the nations’ collaborations, as they create, or even fuels up ethnic tensions, that lead to national divisions and long-lasting wars. Overall, wars can have profound and long-lasting implications, affecting individuals, communities, and nations for years to come. The Russian-Ukrainian war has made the problem more profound therefore, further research is crucial to raise awareness. We used a structured, closed-ended questionnaire to collect primary data, necessary for deriving information regarding the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on Greek enterprises, as the concept of this research refers to quantitative parameters. The collected data were statistically analyzed via descriptive statistics, with the use of SPSS 20.0. The results of the research have shown that the Russian-Ukrainian war has significant implications on ethical and economical levels, resulting in animosity between nations and global problems. Therefore, theory and research should collaborate to raise awareness of the outcomes.
