Russia's war in Ukraine has led to a radical increase in global security funding that will trigger a new technological surge. As a result of increased investment in the development and production of new types of weapons, their integration with artificial intelligence, the West will regain its absolute dominance in the security sphere, Pavlo Klimkin, the ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, believes..

“Biden visits the Lockheed Martin factory in Alabama for a reason.. But it's not just the USA.. Always discreet Germany allocates an additional 150 billion euros, and this is just the beginning. The cumulative security potential will allow the West, if not to dictate conditions, then definitely to prevent any attempts to do something without it,” writes in his article for ZN. UA "

At the same time, the demand for Russian weapons will fall, and the embargo on high technology will finally achieve the Russian military-industrial complex.

The war will also create an opportunity for the West to get rid of dependence on Russian energy and accelerate the green transition..

“The mantra of interdependence – security and influence in exchange for energy money – no longer works.. This will have at least two consequences - the degradation of the Russian economy and Russia as such, and the inability to use this dependence in the future confrontation with China,” Klimkin notes..

The diplomat notes that refusal will be painful for the Western world, but he will digest it and use it to build a new energy model.. But China in ten years will be ready to increase pressure on Russia to assert its goals.
