It is already clear that Ukraine has won and Russia has lost this unjust war.
Russia has failed and will no longer succeed in "denazifying and demilitarizing" or destroying the Ukrainian people and their state. History will record that the aggressor did not achieve its war goals, which means that V. Putin has lost. The "bitten-off" territories of both countries remain subjects for negotiation, but they no longer matter. Just as Russia's nuclear war bluff no longer matters. Since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, no one has used nuclear weapons simply because neither the victim nor the aggressor can defend themselves from them. The Russian Duma simply cannot give consent to use nuclear weapons against any country, as thousands of people of Russian ethnicity live in each of them. After all, Russia declares it defends Russians.
What Ukraine has achieved:
- It has solidified its national identity and statehood, significantly strengthened its economy, and by uniting international businesses and technologies, has paved the way for future prosperity—whether with the EU, NATO, or without them.
- Former comedian Volodymyr Zelensky has entered history as a multifaceted military leader, war strategist, and commander who, through personal contacts, united the largest countries in the world and their leaders in the righteous fight against a brutal aggressor. It became a great honor for every head of state to shake Volodymyr's hand. He is a true hero, deserving monuments and serving as an inspiring example worldwide.
- The proud Ukrainian people preserved their rich traditions, despite the immense loss of their heroes, demonstrating their ability to defend their homeland and defeat any enemy. Today, "Ukrainian" resonates with pride. Only determined and self-sacrificing nations deserve a hopeful and prosperous future.
- Nations and states around the world have had an excellent example of how to defend their countries in the pursuit of true independence and prosperity. Ukraine has clearly shown the need to condemn international banditry and fundamentally reform the United Nations, creating a sustainable umbrella of a Universal Peace Union so that wars on planet Earth cease forever.
What Russia has lost:
- The great Russian nation has long lost its good name in the history of nations, which will no longer be justified by the glory earned in previous defensive wars. History textbooks will label it as a predatory aggressor that sought to destroy the entire Ukrainian nation and state through lies and genocide. This is a heinous crime and an eternal stain on the Russian people.
- The fratricidal war not only failed to boost Russia's economy but did the opposite. International sanctions, supply chain restrictions, financial squandering, and a demoralized nation have brought Russia to the brink of collapse. It will have to plead with foreign countries for the lifting of sanctions and the restoration of its life and breath.
- Former cunning KGB spy V. Putin has been issued an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity. This warrant is valid for life, and sooner or later, V. Putin and other criminals will have to stand trial. His veto right in the UN Security Council will not help him here. Russia will be obligated to hand over its criminals. V. Putin will go down in history as a highly negative figure, used as a cautionary tale for future generations.
- The countries of the world will have to abolish the veto right in the UN Security Council. After the war, international law will have to be fundamentally improved by introducing the boundaries of national self-governance, the guilt of the stronger party, unavoidable compensation, and other international norms. However, having met all international law requirements, Russia will eventually be able to become a full-fledged member of the Universal Peace Union, fostering peace and justice through its experience. AMEN!
