As Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters its fifth year, the resilience demonstrated by Ukraine remains commendable, both in military and societal terms. Ukrainian forces have effectively denied Russia a decisive victory on the battlefield, and daily life continues amidst the turmoil of attacks. Furthermore, Ukraine has successfully garnered political, military, and financial support from much of Europe and North America, despite some uncertainties arising from U.S. foreign policy. This backing is crucial as Ukraine seeks to maintain and bolster its defenses against ongoing aggression.

However, the situation becomes more intricate beyond the Euro-Atlantic region. In various nations across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, Ukraine has faced a more muted response characterized by cautious engagement. While many leaders have condemned Russia's violations of sovereignty in principle, there remains a palpable reluctance to deepen political or military ties with Ukraine. This hesitance highlights the differing geopolitical interests and priorities in these regions, steering them away from a more decisive alignment with Ukraine in its conflict against Russia.

As the war progresses, a new challenge emerges: the normalization of conflict. In the initial months following Russia's invasion, the war captured global attention, leading to significant public outcry and support for Ukraine. However, as time passes and the war becomes a longer-standing reality, there is a risk of the situation becoming routine. This normalization could hinder the urgency of global support and complicate Ukraine's efforts to ensure continued assistance from the international community within a shifting geopolitical landscape.
