But it is highly likely that Ukrainians will wage an insurgent war against the occupying Russian forces. In the unfortunate event Russia wins this war, there most likely will be a puppet government in Kyiv. What could come from this if Russia wins this war? Russian aggression represents a peril to all of Europe, and it is quite natural that Poland and the Baltic states have been at the forefront of advocating for NATO's resolve against Moscow.
This current conflict has only confirmed the reason for NATO's existence. And, in fact, if the Russians are forced to leave Ukraine or make a decision to leave, then I think it's reasonable to assume the pressure will be on the European community to accept Ukraine as a member state of the European Union of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The long-term foreign policy implications, I think, are considerable and a lot depends on the outcome of the war. We also most certainly have a refugee crisis already on our hands.

Ukraine is an imperfect democracy, but it's a democracy worthy of American and transatlantic support. This is a war not just between Russia and Ukraine, but it's a war between authoritarianism and democracy. It is a European country and from the perspective of Ukrainians, they are located at the center of Europe. It is a country that is not some parochial province on the edge of the world. But it is certainly a place of significant potential with a vibrant, educated workforce. It is also a country with an immense economy, one that is still struggling to adjust to the realities of a market economy in the 21st century. It is a country of significant security interests to the whole of Europe and to the United States. With the exception of Russia, Ukraine is the largest country in Europe.
