Abstract

The Russia-Ukraine conflict which escalated in 2022 has had far-reaching consequences on global energy security economic policies and geopolitical stability. This study explores the impact of the conflict on energy markets focusing on the disruption of oil and natural gas supplies particularly in Europe. The war led to unprecedented sanctions on Russia causing economic repercussions in global trade inflation spikes and energy crises. The study also examines policy responses by international organizations such as the European Union NATO and the United Nations in managing the crisis. Furthermore it assesses the shifts in global alliances and the rise of alternative energy strategies as countries seek to reduce dependence on Russian resources. By analyzing economic reports policy briefs and energy forecasts this paper provides insights into the long-term implications of the conflict on international trade energy sustainability and economic stability.
