Post-Russo-Ukrainian War: Taiwan More Cautious and Perceptive

Abstract

The Russo-Ukrainian War, which had erupted in 2014, was further escalated on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched an all-out invasion of Ukraine. In order to preserve Russia’s national security and punish the Ukrainian government for the ethnic crimes it committed against the Russian ethnicity in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin personally supervises this concentrated operation. This paper deals with the Russian invasion of Ukraine and links it to the Taiwan issue, which may, but is very unlikely, turn into a second Ukrainian. The study is mainly based on secondary sources since this topic is still recent and there is not much literature yet. The study concluded that the Sino-Taiwanese reality is different geographically, politically and legally from the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, and the paper strongly suggests that we may witness in the coming years the reunification of Taiwan.
