Recent analyses by experts George Scutaru and Matthew Boyse, as well as insights from GiorgioCafiero and others, highlight Moscow's aggressive posture towards Ukraine, with implications for Romania and Moldova. The behavior suggests an attempt to control Ukraine's littoral areas, raising alarms about regional security and the potential for broader conflict. Key factors in the outcome of this situation include Russian socio-economic resilience and Western support for Ukraine, as noted by GPFutures. Concerns also extend to the future of a Russian-backed semi-autonomous region within Moldova, indicating the invasion's broader geopolitical ramifications. Additionally, as MBielieskov points out, the success of Russia's invasion could empower Russia significantly, leveraging Ukraine's human and material resources to pose a greater threat to NATO's eastern border.
“If Russia’s invasion succeeds, consequences will be felt far beyond the borders of #Ukraine. Russia will be revitalized by the capture of Ukraine’s vast human & material resources, & will loom large on the eastern border of NATO.” @MBielieskov https://t.co/UGGiHtik15
