The proximity of Kiev and Moscow raises questions about the nature of relations between Ukraine and the West, which plays a vital role in managing the conflicts around the world to shape the future of the nations in political and economic dimensions. This study puts forth a proposition to observe in the background of the Russia-Ukraine war. The research has applied collaborative and bargaining approaches towards conflict management given by Thomas and Kilmann.</em></p> <p><em>The study recommends that Ukrainian identity, legitimacy of authority and sovereignty should be restored. It is also suggested that the crisis can be solved with sustained and well-intentioned negotiations for conflict resolution, immediate referendums under international surveillance in disputed territories, the complete demilitarisation and non-alignment of Ukraine. The research intends to observe to what extent Western powers play their role in facilitating the dialogue instead of using Ukraine for their political agenda. There is a dire need to revisit trust-building measures between the two neighbours on the ground of their national interests and regional policies. The complicated nature and its far-reaching influence of the crisis demand an urgent handling and an enduring solution before it spirals out of control and the whole region has to bear its insidious outcomes.</em></p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of European Studies (JES)}, author={Mr. Muhammad Kamran Fiaz and Dr. Rafida Nawaz and Dr. Fatima Ali}, year={2023}, month={Jan.}, pages={17} }
