This is why Ukraine has to win the war. Preparing for a large scale war with Russia is just much more expensive. At the same time Russia will be in deep trouble if they lose the war. The economy will need to transition away from the sugar highs of the war economy, causing massive unemplyoment. At the same time the population is shrinking and that will likely accelerate, as Central Asia due to not fighting a war, is catching up with Russia. So no migrants from there. At the same time many Russians will leave the country.
Other then Russia, Europe is in a very defensable position. The only big potential problem is Turkey. Other then that, large scale wars will probably be limited or further away.
