In recent decades, there has been an upsurge of western professionals providing financial and legal services to kleptocrats Russia and Eurasia. The United Kingdom has provided more such services than any other nation, and the effect has been to undermine democracy and good governance in both the UK and in the countries these elites come from.

Taşıdığı tüm siyasi ve ekonomik potansiyele rağmen, Karadeniz havzası uluslararası ilişkiler yazınında ve bölge ülkelerinin dış politika yönelimlerinde ikincil bir konumda kalmıştır. Hâkim yaklaşım bölgeyi ulaştırma ve enerji taşımacılığı için gerekli bir coğrafi mekâna indirgemekte veya havzayı farklı jeo-stratejik güçlerin karşı karşıya geldiği bir çatışma alanı ya da bir tampon bölgeden ibaret görmektedir.

Os alertas contra o regime russo liderado por Putin há muito tempo denunciavam que Moscou se preparava para a guerra. Em fevereiro de 2022, o conflito de fato teve início, com a invasão do território ucraniano pelas tropas russas.
