1.Write opinion/essay regarding the possible outcome of russia-ukraine.

Answer;***
The Russia Ukraine war is having an outsized impact on the global supply chain.impeding the
flow of goods fueling dramatic costs increases and product shortages and creating catastrophic
food shortages around the world.
As an ominous corollary to the 20 years’ crisis that went from 2001 to 2021, the significance of
the ongoing Ukraine war cannot be understated. This conflict represents the most seismic
geopolitical turning point of the current century for several reasons: the global balance of power
within the international system is at stake in this exceedingly complex confrontation which is
being fought in several overlapping battlespaces, such as the actual kinetic operational theatre,
the economic chessboard, the realm of money and finance, the infosphere, the domain of
energy, cyberspace, the covert netherworld of ‘active measures,’ and even the field of colliding
ideological worldviews. Another remarkable feature is that things can easily spiral out of control
and trigger an escalation of dangerous proportions due to several factors, including:
A more likely scenario is that Ukraine and Russia will fight a war of attrition until one of the sides
exhausts either its military power, its economy, or the fighting population. The hope is that a
strong flow of weapons and other resources from the West can help Ukraine outlast Russia. On
the face of it, this seems to be a scenario that the Western countries bet on: Drag out the war,
make Russia weaker, let Ukrainians pay. But even if Ukraine eventually wins, the costs of this
strategy is human lives: The human toll of a continued war of attrition would be huge.
Furthermore, unless there is a radical change in Russia, lasting peace is unlikely because
another wave of Russian revanchism can emerge.
