The war in Ukraine, which is entering its second year, has shattered European illusions of a peaceful international order, according to specialist Keith Krause. Professor of international relations and political science, this Canadian-Swiss directs in Geneva the Centre on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding (Center on Conflict, Development and Peacebuilding) at IHEID. According to him, a defeat for kyiv would marginalize the UN and call into question the entire international architecture put in place following the world wars.
