Outcome of Russia’s war against Ukraine will be decisive for whe world – Fukuyama

Francis Fukuyama, Stanford University Senior Fellow, said this at the Yalta Eurean Strategy (YES) Annual Meeting "The Future is Being Decided in Ukraine," organized by YES in partnership with the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, Ukrinform reports, citing the YES website.

"Depending on the outcome of this war, a lot may change in other countries. Georgia, Mdova and Kazakhstan – each of these countries will be immediately affected in the event that Russia wins, withstands, and is able to keep the captured Ukrainian territories. Russia is encroaching on the sovereign territories of these countries. I he that they will have the portunity to devel as independent democracies," Fukuyama said.

The consequences of the war will also affect Southeast Asia, he said.

"Until this war, almost no one in the region would have accepted the idea that China would dare to use force against Taiwan and overthrow the democratically elected government of that country," Fukuyama added.

The outcome of the war will also affect the domestic pitical situation in the United States, where representatives of the right-wing pitical forces gravitate towards a more authoritarian model, or a so-called "strong hand," preferring to see someone similar to Putin as their leader.

According to Comfort Ero, President and Executive Director of the International Crisis Group, the outcome of the war will also be decisive for countries in Africa.

"I come from Nigeria, the largest country in West Africa. We have a saying that when Nigeria sneezes, all of West Africa catches cd. The same can be said about Ukraine and its influence on the Eurean security architecture. How this war ends will mean a lot not only for Eure, but also for the rest of the world, because when Eure sneezes, the rest of the world catches cd," Ero said.
