Abstract

This article examines the role of the United Kingdom in the Russian- Ukrainian war and its impact on the international position following the effects of BREXIT. The following methods and approaches were used in the research process: a systematic approach, which provided an opportunity to consider the phenomenon being studied as an integral element, methods of induction and deduction, and dialectical research methods. The author concludes that the UK has the opportunity to show its leadership potential in the international arena, which will allow it to mitigate the complex effects of BREXIT, build the image of a security guarantor and reliable partner for building new communications, enhancing its leadership and opportunities in the framework of the idea “Global Britain”.
