Abstract
GUEDES, Armando Marques and PEREIRA, Isidro de Morais. The tragic future of a ‘many russias’ hypothesis. Foresight and scenarios. Political Observer [online]. 2023, vol.19, pp.23-36. Epub June 01, 2023. ISSN 2795-4757. https://doi.org/10.59071/2795-4765.rpcp2023.19/pp-23-36.
Under international law, the territorial integrity of Ukraine must be ensured in accordance with the collectively agreed 1991 borders. Should the Russian Federation collapse, the Wider West and particularly Europe, should manage a stable sphere of military security on the Continent and a better articulation of North America and beyond it. A Russian defeat in Ukraine creates opportunities as well as risks. Trusting that a defeated Kremlin will abandon its imperial designs could be a mistake. In this article, we have drawn out several prospective scenarios to which we assign different degrees of probability.
