"It's The Only Way To Keep The World From Becoming Even More Chaotic."

The fate of many countries depends on the preservation of the principles of international law.

Today, U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Putin will meet in Alaska.

The "Coalition of the Resolute" insists: no restrictions on the Ukrainian Armed Forces, no Russian veto rights on Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO.

How can these demands be enshrined so that they cannot be circumvented under the pretext of "peaceful compromise"?

This is the question Charter97.org asked Ukrainian diplomat and political scientist, director of the Center for Defense Strategies Alexander Hara:

- We cannot limit Donald Trump's sovereign right to make decisions. Europe and Ukraine can only convince him that the negative consequences for Ukraine, Europe and the US will be far greater than the possible benefits for him personally.

Today we see that the West has united and is assisting Ukraine, but it is not enough to stop the war. At the same time, there is a consolidation of the countries of the global South, which for various reasons do not want to side with Ukraine and the West: historical grievances, distrust, etc.

The outcome of this war depends on whether the world will preserve the norms and principles of international law, which restrained global conflicts after World War II. If Ukraine is forced to relinquish territory and limit its ability to defend itself, it will lead to the destruction of the international system and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

States will realize: only the possession of nuclear weapons can deter aggression. And aggressors will realize that if they possess them, they can commit crimes and seize other people's land with impunity, and then simply agree on "new borders".

Ukraine has long been trying to explain to its partners, including the countries of the global South, that it is in their interests to preserve the principles of international law. Otherwise, the world will become even more chaotic and aggressive, and this could lead to a new global conflict.
