Summary

PREVIEW — Victoria Coates — Winners and losers of the Ukraine conflict endgame. Coates analyzes the victors of the Ukraine conflict endgame, naming China as a significant beneficiary. Should Russia succeed, its status as a global player will be restored, though suspicion of Russian intentions persists because they extract more than they contribute. The conflict most significantly undermines the U.S. image as a reliable ally committed to securing nations' freedom—a credibility loss reminiscent of earlier historical failures during the World Wars and Kuwait crisis.
