The consequences of the war in Ukraine will be far-reaching

Nataliya Katser-Buchkovska

The Russian invasion into Ukraine will have far reaching consequences in a variety of areas: the situation has evolved into a humanitarian crisis, has turned food and energy security volatile and raises questions about the architecture of global security.

These challenges will not be limited to Ukraine, but due to the globalised world we live in, will pose challenges across the globe.

Both short- and long-term solutions must be found to ensure these consequences won't result into castastrophes upon catastrophes.

The Russian invasion into Ukraine was a tipping point for world security, the international economy and our global energy architecture. It is not possible to narrow down a war like this to one region while we live in a globalized world. We cannot keep radiation in one country's geographical borders, or eliminate one country from the fragility of supply chains.
