The war in Ukraine has cast a long shadow on the Indo-Pacific. Countries in the region are faced with new challenges as they reorient their foreign policy. What do the deepening Russia-China ties mean for the Indo-Pacific? How will the war in Ukraine impact alliances and partnerships in the region? How does the conflict influence India’s strategic priorities and its global aspirations?
