This war will mean a lot of things for our time. The world will never be the same again. With the evolution of technologies and the leaps that are being made in communications, the conflict in Ukraine concerns nearly everyone. It feels like a deadly confrontation taking place in our shared neighborhood. And it will mark us forever.

The implications for energy and the economies of all countries will be decisive for the distant future. I hope the reader who will accompany me on this journey of exploration and analysis will share with me the anxiety about the future. But also the optimism about human nature and the fact that knowledge leads to better outcomes and towards a more just world.

We are all in the midst of the turmoil of this confrontation. And it has an immediate impact on our lives. Therefore, we must follow all its phases. How did it start? Were there prospects to prevent it? Who holds ultimate responsibility for what has happened? Who wins and who loses from the conflicts?

What does this confrontation between Russia and the West mean for the rest of the world? What does this war mean for us, for Turkey, for our relationships, for our economy, for Greek shipping, for Europe, and for the future in general?

In the texts of the book, issues that are not known come to the forefront. And they will certainly open new horizons in thinking for understanding the behavior of many countries, the mentality of their people, and the developments.
