Ukraine has entered a state of high alert, facing the largest offensive in 2024 with the direct involvement of forces from Russia and North Korea. According to geopolitical expert Professor Ricardo Marcílio, who spoke to CPG, the strategic move by both countries represents a threat to Ukrainian stability and a growing tension that reverberates throughout the Middle East and other regions.

In recent days, a series of power outages in major Ukrainian cities including Kiev and Odessa signaled the start of the largest military offensive since the conflict began. With siren warnings and evacuation orders issued, the Ukrainian government is preparing to face what experts say is a coordinated attack on multiple fronts.

Russian intelligence also reported that North Korean forces were joining the military effort, with around 10 North Korean troops and 40 Russian troops ready for battlefield operations. further strengthening the offensive.

Russia-North Korea alliance worries the Middle East

The Middle East, already on alert for domestic issues, is now watching closely as large-scale military alliances emerge. With a 50-nation summit led by Arab and Islamic nations discussing rising tensions in the region, the escalation of violence in Ukraine is causing additional concern.

Arab countries are pressing Israel to halt attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, fearing widespread instability.

Professor Ricardo Marcílio highlights that, while Ukraine faces this massive offensive, the Middle East is also under threat of new sanctions and military reactions, especially with the rise of leaders more aligned with expansionist policies and with close ties to military powers.

Global tensions affect Europe and Japan

In Europe, the impact of the Ukrainian conflict is intensifying as nations such as the Netherlands take migration containment measures, temporarily closing their borders in response to the refugee crisis.

In Japan, Prime Minister Shigeru Shiba faces internal challenges with a parliamentary minority, increasing the risk of political instability. This scenario of global tensions demonstrates how the conflict in Ukraine intertwines with other political and military disputes, creating an environment of uncertainty.

Ukraine's future under unprecedented threat

For Professor Ricardo Marcílio, the current situation in Ukraine, with power cuts and warnings of imminent attacks, represents one of the most critical moments of the conflict so far.

He emphasizes that the alliance between Russia and North Korea is a clear sign that Moscow is ready to increase pressure not only on Ukraine, but also on Western allies.

“This is a milestone in the conflict,” Marcílio told the CPG, “and is essential that Ukraine receives the necessary support to resist this new offensive.”
