The Russian invasion of Ukraine represents the first major war in Europe after World War II. The war is still going on and the world is witnessing the unfolding of a horrible geopolitical drama. The root cause of this crisis is the conflict between the geopolitical ambitions of NATO and Russia. Therefore, there has been an intensification of geopolitical rivalries between the West and Russia. Sooner or later the war will be over but not the rivalry. Consequently, there is fear of the return of the New Cold War. The impact of the war would mainly depend on whether Russia wins or lose the war in Ukraine. As it is now neither Ukraine nor Russia has lost or won the war. The geopolitical consequences of war would also depend on, how decisive is the victory or loss. But one thing is clear; this war would have serious repercussions not only for Ukraine and Russia but also for the world. Even if there is a ceasefire and peace settlement, the political map of Europe, for example, will never be the same again. There is also the potential of conflict escalation with NATO and the EU, including the threat of nuclear warfare. This paper presents a geopolitical analysis of the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine and evaluates the causes of conflict with the prediction of future consequences.
