The war in Ukraine has raised concerns in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in Japan. Tokyo's December 2022 National Security Strategy states that Russia's aggression has "breached the very foundation of the rules that shape the international order" and warns that a similar situation could happen in the Indo-Pacific.
