Russia’s military, economic and foreign policy successes show that President Vladimir Putin’s strategy of confronting the West is yielding results. writes about this Wall Street Magazine (WSJ).
The newspaper’s materials note that Western leaders are trying to abandon wishful thinking, counting on the success of Ukraine’s counteroffensive and the collapse of the Russian economy under the influence of sanctions. But as WSJ writers point out, Russia’s economy has survived, its military has gone on the offensive, its defense industry has surpassed Western countries in terms of production volumes, and Putin can personally observe how his country is supported by key countries in Asia and the global South.
None of this should come as a surprise, according to the publication’s authors. The article notes that more than six months before the deployment of troops to Ukraine, Putin signed a new National Security Strategy of Russia, the main goal of which was to prepare Russia for a long-term conflict with the West.
“Today Putin can tell people his strategy is working,” the WSJ reported.
Previously EU diplomacy chief Josep Borrell statedHe said he saw no possibility of an early victory for Ukraine against Russia. He called on EU countries to prepare for a long conflict, warned of a potential reduction in US aid to Kiev, and called Ukraine’s admission to the EU “the main guarantee of security.” Kiev had previously assumed that hostilities would end soon, and Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky promised to show results on the battlefield by the end of the year.
