<![CDATA[This paper examines the exchange of power dynamics between Russia and Ukraine within the context of the Russo-Ukraine conflict through a constructivist lens. Qualitative research methods are employed, including in-depth interviews with experts and policymakers, analysis of scholarly articles and reports, and document analysis. Thematic analysis is utilized to identify recurring patterns and themes related to power dynamics and conflict settlement possibilities. The analysis reveals that norms and shared identities play a significant role in shaping power relations between Russia and Ukraine, and contestation and reinterpretation of norms influence the exchange of power. Discourses and narratives surrounding the conflict contribute to power dynamics and shape conflict settlement possibilities. Socialization processes, including interactions between actors and institutional dynamics, influence power relations and its effect to conflict settlement attempts. This study contributes to the field of international relations by highlighting the relevance of constructivism in analyzing conflicts and generating insights for conflict resolution efforts.]]>
