Russian President Vladimir Putin "highlights" the weaknesses of the West and "exposed" it "as a kind of theoretical construction, a relic of history far from modern realities." This is stated in the article of the British magazine The Spectator under the heading "Why Putin wins."

As the author of the publication noted, the success of the head of the Russian Federation lies "in demonstrating the inability of the West to come to an agreement on the direction of possible sanctions." According to him, NATO has never before looked "so pathetic, and Western governments have not shown so many divisions."

The observer noted that at present many countries are arguing over the Ukrainian crisis, and this weakens them as a single bloc. Most of them still cannot choose a clear line of interaction with Moscow, for which this only plays into the hands, he believes.

The article also highlights that Russia's two main forces are the army and Putin's diplomatic skills,

The Wall Street Journal previously wrote that over the past 15 years, Russia has allegedly been trying in every possible way to reassert its hegemony in the post-Soviet space, and the determination of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to do this case is based on his belief that the collapse of the Soviet Union was "a major geopolitical catastrophe." According to observers, Moscow is interfering in the affairs of Georgia, Belarus, Ukraine, and now Kazakhstan in order to bring these states closer to itself and allegedly suppress dissent associated with a turn towards the West.
