The High Stakes of Ukraine's Conflict: A Global Catastrophe Looms
TL;DR Summary
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) warns that a Russian victory in Ukraine is not impossible if the US and Europe halt military and economic support to Kyiv. The ISW published maps showing the potential consequences of a Russian victory, including Russian units appearing at the borders of Lithuania, Poland, Moldova, Slovakia, and Romania. The ISW also highlighted that NATO would be unable to defend against such an attack with current forces in Europe, necessitating heavy US intervention. Conversely, a Ukrainian victory would alleviate pressure on NATO and the US, and help restore control over Crimea.
