The current conflict in Ukraine has had tremendous repercussions both on the individuals living in the affected territory and around the world. The Ukraine crisis is the latest example of the centuries-old conflict between democracies and autocracies, and the outcome of this war will have a significant impact in determining the future of global politics.
