WHAT’S AT RISK IN UKRAINE, AND WHY IT MATTERS TO AMERICA AND ITS ALLIES

Natalie Jaresko, Executive Director of Oversight & Management Board for Puerto Rico and a former Finance Minister of Ukraine, published an article in The Hill, What’s at risk in Ukraine, and why it matters to America and its allies.

“The West must spend less energy fearing to “provoke” aggression and more energy worrying about losing Ukraine and the vital buffer between Russia and Central Europe. It should worry about losing a core principle of the international system and about continuing the world’s descent into chaos.

Those are the issues at stake in Ukraine today, and those are the stakes for which the West must be prepared to fight.”
