Russia won the war. President Putin achieved most of the strategic objectives he had set at the outset of the Special Military Operation against Ukraine. My impression of his achievements. 1- Ukraine will not become a member of NATO. 2- Much of the Russian-speaking lands of Ukraine are already under Russia's control. 3-The Trans-Atlantic alliance is shaken. 4- Sanctions have failed to weaken the Russian economy or the Russian military. 5-A multi-polar world is now a reality, not just an abstract concept. 6- Europe's economy is weaker than before the Ukraine war due to the boycott of Russian energy and the destruction of Nord Stream 1. 7- The Russian army has modernized the hard way and got battled hardened and experienced through hardship and sacrifice. 8-Confidence in Russian weaponry has been restored, attracting more clients as it stood against the entire NATO war industry. 9- Cohesion with a character of conservatism is back in Russian society - liberals, oligarchs and anarchists are missing altogether. The NGO community lost it badly too. 10- A geographic space more commonly called Eurasia is now recognized as a zone of Russia's influence, acknowledged verbally by the United States of America. 11- Russia has gained enough geopolitical weight to assert influence in any global matter particularly in places that are void of meaningful western presence. We are witnessing the dawn of a new world order. The post-1991 or post cold war word order has just died today.
