Abstract
This study analyzes the forms and strategies of U.S. defense diplomacy toward Ukraine and its impact on the dynamics of the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Utilizing the realist approach, balance of power theory, security dilemma concept, and national interest, this research aims to understand how strategic interactions between the United States, Ukraine, and Russia influence regional stability and global geopolitics. The findings indicate that U.S. defense diplomacy toward Ukraine reflects a strategy to reinforce the balance of power in Eastern Europe. Military aid, including the provision of M1 Abrams tanks and other advanced weapon systems, has enhanced Ukraine’s defense capabilities but also provoked a strong response from Russia. In retaliation, Russia has intensified military operations, implemented hybrid warfare strategies, and imposed economic sanctions against countries supporting Ukraine. This conflict escalation underscores the dynamics of the security dilemma, where each attempt to enhance security by one party is perceived as a threat by the other, thereby exacerbating geopolitical tensions. This study also provides several policy recommendations, including the need for a more balanced diplomatic approach, reassessment of military aid strategies, and strengthening the role of international organizations in mitigating the conflict. Furthermore, future research is encouraged to analyze the long-term impact of the U.S.-Ukraine strategic alliance on global stability and compare similar strategies in other conflict-prone regions.
