Thank you for the question.
You're absolutely right to make the connection between the Indo-Pacific and the Euro-Atlantic, as you say. Europe, the United States, Canada and other countries have imposed sanctions to cap the price at which Russia can sell its oil. That price is much lower, so Russia makes less profit, but it still sells its oil. Finance ministers have been engaging in increased discussions to see how to further limit Russia's ability to obtain oil revenues.
In my opinion, one of the consequences of the war in Ukraine that can be harmful to Russia in the long term is its much greater dependence on China. In this China-Russia relationship, Russia really finds itself as a lesser partner. In the long term, some members of the Russian elite wonder whether Russia has done well in this area, as some concerns have been raised.
One of the worrisome things we're looking at closely is the dynamic between Russia and North Korea, which has become Russia's major partner in its conflict in Ukraine by sending soldiers, weapons, ballistic missiles, ammunition and so on to Ukraine.
There is another consequence, as Mr. Curran said earlier: Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific theatres are becoming much more integrated. With a conflict in Europe with Russia, we must not underestimate the possibility of a conflict with China elsewhere.
I apologize for my lengthy answer.
