Abstract
This study analyzed the international relationship between Russia and Ukraine and further analyzed and studied China's position on the war. The analysis of the current state of the war and the relationship between war and economic strategies is conducted based on the One Belt, One Road project that China has been conducting for European and Asian countries before the war. This study was conducted by mainly using literature review and thesis analysis as the main research methods. From the 2000s to the present, research data on relations with neighboring countries including Russia-Ukraine war and literature data and papers related to China have been conducted as major research methods. Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, Western social countries, including the United States, and communist countries, including China, have been in a national position that is intricately related to the international community amid the progress of the proxy war. As the war progresses, international public opinion is unfavorable to Russia, and China, the same communist country, also shows a passive attitude toward Russia. Accordingly, Central Asian countries that are closely related to Russia have a passive and ambiguous position on the war in the form of choosing a position favorable to each country without direct support and choice of military intervention, despite having economic, military cooperation, and dependence on Russia.Through the One Belt, One Road project being promoted by the 21C international community led by China, it not only expects economic benefits through efforts to form an economic community, but also pursues the direction of its own interests through friendly relations with the United States and Western society. Moreover, since both Russia and Ukraine, which are currently at war, are economic and trade partners, it emphasizes the need to study China's position on the war. Through this, there is a confrontation between the hegemonic countries of the international community during the war. It is emphasized that it is important to conduct research based on the results of China's position by organizing research on Korea's position so that Korea can flexibly cope with complex economic and political situations by maintaining smooth international community relations and confirming the strategic direction that prioritizes its own interests. It is also judged that it is necessary to refer to the direction of international community relations by providing appropriate information.
