Summary/Abstract: The present article is based on the hypothesis that Russian destructiveness is not only manifested through military aggression and does not have effects only on the imbalance zones created by the Russian Federation, in order to fulfil the strategic objectives in the Wider Black Sea Area. Being the most contested by the great global powers, since the Cold War period, when the space was divided between the military blocs of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Warsaw Pact, the Wider Black Sea Area currently has a role of strategic importance regarding the reconfiguration of power poles at global level, being the point of intersection of the geopolitical and economic interests of South-Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Asia and the Caucasus, a space with considerable natural resources and an energy transit area with a major impact on European countries.
