Description
An RSAA panel discussion with Kerry Brown, Nikolay Kozhanov, Rahul Roy-Chaudhury and Charles J Sullivan discussing the impacts of the Ukraine war across Asia, the reactions of Asian countries to the crisis and what effects the conflict may have on their own policies.
The military character of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is evolving and so are the responses of countries around the world. But it is clear that, whatever the final outcome, this crisis has generated a decisive shift in the assumptions that Russia’s neighbours have made until now about its policies and willingness to use force on the basis of the most fabricated excuses.
The immediate arena for this crisis is Europe, but there is much for Asian countries to ponder about Russia, the implications of using force agains a population motivated to resist, and the willingness and capacity of democracies to support them in doing so.
