A vision of victory: What are Russia and Ukraine fighting for? — 14APR2022
Video Summary
A clear vision of victory is crucial for both Russia and Ukraine in the ongoing war. Russia’s original goals, which included the creation of a new security order in Europe and the installation of a puppet regime in Kyiv, have not been achieved. Due to Ukraine’s strong defense, Russia has shifted its focus to the eastern part of Ukraine, particularly Donetsk and Luhansk. This change in strategy is not just a new approach to achieving the same goal, but a fundamental change in Russia’s vision of victory. It seems that Russia’s primary objective is now to ensure that Ukraine remains a disputed area and maintains a significant military presence in the region, allowing Russia to recreate the “iron curtain” and maintain a stake in Ukrainian politics. Ukraine, on the other hand, is fighting for its independence and freedom, and its vision of victory is the defeat of Russia and recognition of its sovereignty. Ukraine’s goal is to inflict such significant pain and loss on Russia that it will never try to invade again. As the war continues, Ukraine is gaining momentum, and it’s possible that it may win quickly, while Russia needs the war to end in a way that allows it to rebuild and prepare for a new conflict.
