Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explores conflict resolution approaches and their application to contemporary challenges in international relations, with a particular emphasis on the Russo-Ukrainian crisis. By examining the various methods of conflict resolution the study highlights the difficulties in achieving lasting peace in complex geopolitical conflicts. The Russo-Ukrainian war, which erupted in 2014 and escalated in 2022, serves as a critical case study to evaluate the effectiveness of existing international mechanisms such as the United Nations, NATO, and the OSCE. The conflict underscores key challenges in international relations, including the resurgence of power politics, the limitations of international law, and the erosion of multilateralism in a polarized global order. The study also addresses the role of economic sanctions, arms support, and hybrid warfare, analyzing their impact on the resolution process. By integrating realist, liberal, and critical theories, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of the obstacles to conflict resolution in a multipolar world. Recommendations focus on enhancing multilateral cooperation, addressing the root causes of conflict, and reforming global institutions to better manage 21st-century conflicts
