russia’s war against Ukraine as a strategic priority of Great Britain?

Abstract

«British Decline» is a conceptual foundation for understanding the foreign policy of the United Kingdom from the end of World War II to the present day. Its essence lies in the uncertainty of the state’s overall vision of itself on the international stage, its mission, and foreign policy priorities [1]. Brexit became, on the one hand, a vivid manifestation of this crisis but, on the other, an attempt by the British establishment to overcome the decline and cease «wandering» within the so-called «circles of British identification» which Prime Minister Winston Churchill, after World War II, outlined as: Anglo-American relations, interaction with Europe, and cooperation with the Commonwealth of Nations [1, p. 811]. This step led to the release of some strategic documents that has a direct impact on the course of relations between Ukraine and the UK today.
