Clustering the Impacts of The Russia-Ukraine War on Personnel and Equipment

Abstract

In post-pandemic recovery efforts, uncertainty arose due to the unresolved conflict between the Russia-Ukraine war. This conflict impacts world security stability and affects the economic, energy, and food sectors. This conflict also impacts humanity by causing death to civilians and military personnel, including children in Ukraine. The clustering analysis results of the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war show losses and losses in personnel and war equipment, with three cluster optimization methods used through k-means. Of the two methods that can be recommended, namely elbow and Silhouette, both produce K=3. The profiling results show that losses or losses in Ukrainian personnel and war equipment are categorized into three clusters, with cluster one being the lowest category, cluster two being the very high category, and cluster three being the moderate category. This research is helpful for state agencies, international organizations (NGOs), and other stakeholders.
