The geopolitics of post-communist Europe hold immense significance not only for Ukraine but also for the future of the entire continent. This encompasses the intricate interplay between Kyiv and the capitals of East-Central Europe, as well as the Southern Caucasus. It is crucial to understand Kyiv's current geopolitical position and its strategic approach in the region spanning the Baltic, Adriatic, Black, and Caspian Seas. This volume delves into the interests and motivations of select countries in East-Central Europe and the Caucasus towards Ukraine, shedding light on the prospects for the formation of new multilateral networks or structures. Such multilateralism could extend beyond the existing frameworks such as the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development (GUAM), the Visegrad Four, the Bucharest Nine Group, and the Three Seas Initiative. Furthermore, the volume highlights the profound impact of Russia on the international relations of the post-Soviet space, with researchers from various post-communist countries offering their unique perspectives on these critical issues.
