Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes in-depth the impact of the conflict in Ukraine on the geopolitics of international relations, highlighting how this war has accelerated structural transformations in the global system. Since Russia's invasion in 2022, the confrontation has produced a series of significant changes in the balance of power, international law norms, and strategic alliance configurations. The study explores the military, economic, energy, and diplomatic dimensions of the conflict, as well as its implications for collective security and the conventional international order. Through an interdisciplinary approach, the paper highlights the return to a logic of realpolitik, the rise of a multipolar world, and the redefinition of national interests in a context marked by uncertainty and global polarization. Finally, possible scenarios for the evolution of the international system are discussed, between institutional reform and systemic confrontation.
