Break Point: Scenarios and Regional Implications of the Russo-Ukrainian War

Published on October 23, 2023, by the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM), this essay offers a comprehensive analysis of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War and its broader regional consequences. Two years on, the essay remains strikingly relevant as it anticipated structural dilemmas that now define Ukraine’s battlefield and diplomatic realities in 2025. Jarábik examines the war's origins and argues that the West's understanding of these events remains oversimplified. Break Point shifted focus from a binary “victory or defeat” lens to the long-term consequences of a frozen conflict.
