Abstract

The situation in modern international relations, the stalemate in diplomatic negotiations with the U.S. and NATO in early 2022, the refusal to recognize the legitimacy of Russia's demands for “red lines” for its security and respect for the conditions put forward by Russia, as well as disagreement with the position on the need to protect the residents of the DNR and LNR were some of the reasons for the launch of a special operation in Ukraine. Since the joining of Crimea to Russia in 2014, Britain has taken a tough stance and initiated economic sanctions against Moscow. With the start of the special operation in Ukraine, the United Kingdom announced sanctions, was the first to suspend air traffic with Russia, and decided to confiscate the property of Russian oligarchs living in Great Britain. Many British businesses, including Shell and BP, have suspended their operations in Russia. In these circumstances, it is more important than ever to review the history of cooperation between Moscow and London in resolving conflict situations and to analyze and identify the focal points on which effective cooperation was built in the past in order to find tools to improve cooperation between Britain and Russia in the future. This article examines the cooperation between the two countries in resolving the Croatian, Bosnian and Kosovo crises, analyzing the similarities and differences in approaches to these issues and the conceptual foundations of Moscow and London's interaction in international politics in general and in the resolution of these conflicts specifically.
