War in Ukraine will determine global security situation – State Department

"The Ukrainian conflict will definitely determine significant outcomes [in the world]," she said.

In this context, she said that the United States had repeatedly emphasized that Russia cannot win the war against Ukraine, as it will have consequences for the world.

"We should be careful not to define the illegal and continuing unprovoked invasion of Ukraine as a West vs. Russia challenge. It is a global challenge," Stewart said.

She noted that Putin challenges not only the West but the entire world, as he ignores all international norms and laws.
