Geopolitics
Industry impacted: Government
Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have risen significantly in recent weeks, which could potentially lead to a revival of the military conflict between the two countries. Although a full military conflict in Ukraine is unlikely, smaller military confrontations in the border territories are possible. Military confrontations in Ukraine risk destabilizing the EU and bordering countries. Additionally, Russia is likely to deploy hybrid war elements, such as disinformation and cybercampaigns against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure and allies.
