“The Ukraine conflict is likely to reverse gains in Russia and Eurasia, which recorded the largest improvement on the GTI in 2021,” the report produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) said.
IEP founder and chairman Steve Killelea warned, however, that there is a risk that the global fight against terrorism could be “sidelined” by the attention drawn by the crisis in Ukraine.
