Abstract:
The Ukraine crisis, which began with Russia's military intervention, has violently jolted
the modern world. The egregious Russian invasion of Ukraine, on the other hand, has
arguably altered the trajectory of the world order. This whiff of war does not exclude
any state because all states in the world system are economically, politically, and
socially interconnected and dependent on one another. Bangladesh is also feeling the
effects of the Ukraine crisis. The crisis has highlighted some challenging aspects of
Bangladesh's foreign policy, testing the robustness and independence of its decisionmaking
process regarding United Nations resolutions. Myanmar, like Bangladesh, has
appeared befuddled in its response to the crisis. This paper examines how Bangladesh
and Myanmar's foreign policy anticipated an unwanted labyrinth by the crisis, which
made its moral credibility critical to some extent. Furthermore, the paper discusses how
these two countries’ foreign policy trajectories became entangled at a difficult
crossroads. We used secondary data sources backed up by scholarly works on
Bangladesh and Myanmar foreign policy, relevant books, recent reports, and writings
on the subject for this article. This paper also sheds light on Bangladesh's U-Turn in
supporting and speaking out in support of the UN resolution on Ukraine's humanitarian
crisis.
