Study Notes
Russia's Invasion of Ukraine and Global Consequences

Ukraine's Resistance and the Global Balance of Power
- Ukrainian resistance has been formidable against invading Russian forces, which could lead to a prolonged ground war.
- The war could spread beyond Ukraine, potentially igniting a third world war, if the U.S. and its NATO allies become militarily involved.
NATO's Response to Russian Aggression

- Russia's increasing missile and airstrikes risk an accidental crossing into the border of a NATO country, which would require a NATO response.
