The hunt for peace: unsuccessful attempts to mediate Ukrainian-Russian peace from 2022 to 2026

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, there have been numerous attempts to draft plans for halting hostilities and achieving a peaceful settlement.

The 1950s were an immensely complex decade for global geopolitics. Numerous African and Asian nations started to regain their independence, redefining the old colonial world order and thus weakening past colonial superpowers, such as the United Kingdom or France. Above all, however, the new world order was emerging, dominated by the duopoly of the United States and Soviet Union and a visible division of spheres of influence between them.
