The concept of victory often lacks clarity in contemporary theories and practices surrounding international conflicts, such as the Russian-Ukrainian war. With the involvement of multiple actors at different levels in this conflict, having a clear vision of what victory means for Ukraine could equip the coalition supporting the state with the tools necessary to achieve this goal, which are currently absent. This could also help in shaping the approaches to Russia's future.

President Zelensky's "Formula for Peace" seems to consist of conceptual principles for future peace, but it operates within the framework of the pre-war world order. From this perspective, merely defining what victory means for Ukraine is not enough. It must be done in the context of establishing a shared vision for the future international relations system. This includes states that, for the most part, maintain an uncertain stance, anticipating a return to the pre-war world order.

For Ukraine, the task involves not only defining their interpretation of victory but also formulating a value proposition for their partners concerning the future international relations system. Given the unfolding global events, it's becoming evident that the Post-Bipolar system is reaching the end of its existence, and ensuring security will necessitate a proactive stance.
