How has the Ukraine war affected the Indo-Pacific situation
Discuss the potential impact of the Ukraine war on the Indo-Pacific region and its implications for India.
- The Ukraine war has raised geostrategic concerns about Russia and its expansionist ambitions in the Eurasian region.
- This has led to countries in the Indo-Pacific region, including India, to re-evaluate their security posture and regional alliances.
- India has traditionally maintained a close relationship with Russia but has also sought to deepen ties with other countries, such as the US and Japan.
- India's pivot towards the US and other Indo-Pacific countries could be reinforced by the Ukraine war, as Russia's actions in Ukraine may be perceived as a threat to India's own security interests in the region.
- Moreover, the war has led to an increase in energy prices, and the Indo-Pacific region, as a net importer of energy, could be affected by this rise.
- The Ukraine crisis and Russia's potential isolation from the global economy may also create opportunities for India to increase its economic engagement with Europe and other countries affected by the crisis.
