On September 22, a discussion took place between Valeriy Klochok of the Center for Public Analytics "Vezha" and Vadym Denysenko, head of the think tank "Dylova Stolytsia." The focus was on the transformation from a unipolar to a bipolar world order, with China and the US as the primary powers.
Denysenko noted that the current bipolarity differs greatly from the post-war Yalta system. Today, neither China nor the US display the same dominance as the superpowers did in 1945, and numerous regional leaders influence international processes. Conflicts are now driven more by economic than military means, and the main powers are reluctant to become directly involved in the military affairs of their allies.
Special attention was devoted to Europe's stance in US-China negotiations. Analysts also explored how these dynamics affect Ukraine, which currently retains subjectivity by defending Europe but will need significant financial support after the war. The speakers emphasized that Ukraine's future depends on maintaining its active international position and building relationships with countries like China.
Vadym Denysenko stressed the importance of preserving Ukraine's subjectivity in the new geopolitical realities, as the changing behavior of global powers can impact Ukrainian politics and the economy for years to come.
