Aggressive War against Ukraine: Rural and Urban Safety in the Context of National and Global Security

Abstract

The chapter is devoted to reviewing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in connection with the aggressive war against Ukraine, launched by Russia in 2022. This war in the heart of Europe affects global and national security, as well as rural and urban security. The threat to security is apparent not only in connection with the threat of expansion of the war to NATO countries but also because of the blocking of trade cooperation and routes that made it possible to provide regions of the world with food and clean water. Thus, the connection between Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine and national, public, economic, ecological and other types of safety and security issues is obvious. All demonstrated examples highlight war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide; because of this, international, national, and foreign law enforcement bodies, courts (tribunals), and non-governmental organisations are involved in collecting, checking and evaluating evidence.
