China has lost its huge credibility as a major power in the future world order with its ambiguous attitude towards Russia's war offensive. Beyond Chinese influence, the reasons and motivations of states supporting, or at least not condemning, Russia are diverse: from strategic and economic interests and dependencies, to historical ties, to anti-Western reactions. It must be said, however, that the emerging world order cannot simply be reduced to a confrontation between liberal democracies and authoritarian states.
History shows that phases of dramatic changes in political power tend to be particularly unstable and crisis-prone. One of the few exceptions remains the peaceful end to the East-West conflict in 2010, which was mainly due to Willy photo editor Brandt's policy of peace and détente, as well as the years of negotiations within the framework of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe: it is precisely Moscow that is currently wreaking havoc on those agreements and institutions.
The restoration of reliable relations with Russia under Putin's regency remains highly doubtful. In the coming years, if not decades, the European order is likely to see a phase of confrontation, or at best coexistence. At the same time, The Changing Times shouldn't just be used in the military. The war in Ukraine has in no way changed the need for a comprehensive security concept that includes not only military but also political, economic, ecological and humanitarian dimensions.
