What will Happen if Russia Wins the War?
The world system will change irrevocably
The war between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for two years and we still do not see its ending. The frontline’s situation is stuck in one phase, when the Russian Federation occupied part of Ukrainian land, which are in Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kherson regions, and the Ukrainian army tries to return it. The West sends Ukraine financial and military aid but nothing can help Ukraine fully.

Plenty of media and bloggers wrote on what will happen if Russia wins and will not give back to Ukraine its territories, however, everybody can only guess. I tried to predict from my perspective as well.

1. New wars in other locations will start
Other dictators and terrorists will understand that it is quite possible to invade a neighboring government, following the example of Vladimir Putin. The Russo-Ukrainian war showed that even American and European support could not stop it in this case. The same did Hamas when it attacked Israel.
There are lots of cold conflicts between governments worldwide which can get active in one moment: the first but not the last are Serbia with Kosovo, and China with Taiwan. We need to understand that the next country attacked could be your home.
2. Russia will start new wars in other regions
Russia occupied many regions, including Georgia, South Ossetia, and Abkhazia. It wants to take everything located near to it. In the real danger are countries that are not the parts of NATO and the European Union. If the government authorities will not want it, they will start to establish with Russia an owner-slave relationship that Belarus and Serbia did already.
In addition, the West and NATO will lose their leadership status. The world will see that Russia can win over the country supported by Europe, the USA, and NATO, and Russia will become more sure in its force.
3. Ukrainian lands will become in a vulnerable position

Other countries will see that they could take a part of Ukrainian land using weapons and speculating by history and other-nations’ population, with what Ukaine has real problems — in different times it had multiple owners. For instance, in the 17th century, the Ukrainian territories were part of Poland, Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Russia. Under Polish rule remained the largest part of Ukraine — from the Carpathians to Poltava and from Chernigov to Kamenets-Podolsk. As a result of those actions, in Western Ukraine there are many people with Polish and Hungarian roots, and the cities there are built in a Polish and Hungarian architectural style. Those times the power of the Polish lords and the attacks of the Turkish-Tatar hordes threatened the very existence of the Ukrainian nation and culture.
The biggest hazard is that previous lords of Ukrainian lands can arise again and claim their rights.
4. Millions of Ukrainian refugees will not come back to Ukraine

According to the data of the Operational Data Portal, by December 2023 there are 6.3 Ukrainian refugees worldwide, with the biggest percentage in Europe — 93,6%. The most of them are in Poland — 1,6 million and Germany — 1,1 million.
Many Ukrainians do not want to live under Russian control, so a big part of them will not return if it happens. They will stay in Europe and will ask for the prolongation of their refugee status, as well as for financial assistance, housing, and free education for their children. It will be a heavily load for European economics. Moreover, they will take workplaces which are also wanted by Polish and German citizens.
To prevent all this, Ukraine and the rest of the world need to continue to fight against Russia and its regime. The victory of Ukraine means not only the preservation of its sovereignty but also the peace of the whole world in the future. Don’t forget about this when you close the window tab with the next news about the Ukrainian war.
