Even if no such conflict erupts, Putin’s attempts to restore Russian influence across Eurasia (by whatever means necessary, if his actions in Ukraine are any indication) will be highly damaging. It should be no surprise that Kazakhstan and Belarus are as wary of Russian expansionism as Ukraine.
即使这一冲突不爆发，普京重建俄罗斯在欧亚（Eurasia）的影响力的尝试（从其在乌克兰的行为看，可谓无所不用其极）也将具有非常大的破坏力。哈萨克斯坦和白俄罗斯与乌克兰一样担心俄罗斯的扩张主义一点都不令人奇怪。
