Abstract
Since the war started in Ukraine by the Russian forces, no major role of the United Nations was observed in resolving this conflict. In addition, the Russian government did not care about the United Nations resolutions, but rather challenged these resolutions and did not pay any attention to it. Such decisive decisions to wage war by a superpower like Russia against a neighboring country like Ukraine have dire consequences for international security. in addition, this is a signal for other countries, such as China, to enact war on Taiwan and annex it without taking any expressions of international resolutions and international legitimacy, it is like we were living in the period of the First and Second World Wars and the outbreak of wars for reasons that a particular country tries to use as a pretext to declare war on a neighboring country. This study will focus on economic condition in Europe after war. This research will find the reason why Ukraine and Russian war. Why UN failed to stop war. What kind of role NATO are playing. What will be future economic condition in the world.
