Abstract:
This article focuses on Russian food security as the subject of research, with the object being the Russian-Ukrainian geopolitical conflict. The author examines in detail the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the global food supply chain, emphasizing Russia's food security in light of geopolitical challenges. This article employs a wide range of research methods, such as geopolitical analysis, systemic analysis, comparative analysis, and others, aimed at analyzing the real problems that Russia may face both now and in the "post-conflict period." The novelty of the research lies in analyzing events from the perspective of geopolitics and conflict theory, as well as in the comprehensive examination of a series of problems and difficulties that Russia faces during the conflict and in the post-conflict period. The author also used a comprehensive approach involving various sources, including the latest findings from Russian and Chinese scholars, information from government websites of both countries, and others that can provide different perspectives for studying this issue. The work not only details the consequences of the conflict for Russia's food security at the present time but also provides forecasts regarding the development of the situation in the "post-conflict period." According to the author, to ensure geopolitical stability and overcome a complex international environment, Russia may create a new type of relationship between great powers and Asian countries, especially with China.
