This book is actually two books in one package. The First Part, titled "Why the War in Ukraine is Changing the World," written by journalist and author Stavros Lygeros, is a study on the geopolitical, diplomatic, military, and geoeconomic dimensions of the Ukrainian crisis.

The conclusion of the study is that this war, regardless of its outcome, will qualitatively change the international system; the World will be geopolitically and geoeconomically different. The process of transitioning from today's globalization to a new bipolarity, where on one side will be the West and on the other the emerging Eurasian framework, is visible to the naked eye.

The Second Part, titled "The Complex Relations of Ukrainians and Russians in History," written by Dr. Sotiris Dimopoulos (a graduate of the University of Kiev), is the only study in Greek Bibliography on how the various racial and national identities in the geographical area of Ukraine have been formed over the last millennium, since the formation of some early state entities in the region.

Although clearly distinct, the two studies are complementary in the sense that contemporary events gain interpretive completeness when placed in their historical context. Thus, the reader can understand the complexity and fluctuations that characterize the relations of today's belligerents, realizing that the concept of "Ukrainianness" until a few years ago did not have the same content and geopolitical significance for all Ukrainians.
