Partition of Ukraine a major global risk in 2024 — TIME

10 January 2024, 10:30 PM

A partition of Ukraine as a potential outcome of the ongoing war presents a major risk for world security, according to the Top 10 Global Risks for 2024 TIME magazine published on Jan. 8.

Ukrainian partition is presented as the third most dire risk the world is facing this year.

The assessment is based on Russia’s growing military cooperation and interdependence with North Korea, which could have potential repercussions on European and global security.

Time writes that 2024 is going to be pivotal for the Russo-Ukrainian war, saying that if Ukraine does not address its manpower issues, increase arms production, and develop a realistic military strategy soon, its territorial losses may become permanent.

“2024 is an inflection point in the war: and if Ukraine doesn't solve its manpower problems, increase weapons production, and set a realistic military strategy soon, its territorial losses could prove permanent and may well expand,” the article says.

“…, Kyiv will take bigger military risks this year, including strikes on more targets inside Russia that provoke unprecedented Russian responses and could pull NATO into the conflict.”

The only two challenges more pressing than the war in Ukraine, according to Time, are the ones associated with potential instability of the U.S. political system in a pivotal presidential election year and prospects of a wider war in the Middle East.
