Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Sean Guillory: Even with sanctions, Putin is still getting exactly what he wants in Ukraine
Lilia Shevtsova has an interesting comment in the Financial Times, and what she has to say doesn’t bode well for Ukraine or Putin. Putin has won but his victory is only tactical. According to Shevtsova, "tactical victories often end in strategic defeats" and Russian president Vladimir Putin, by turning Russia into a "war state," has "unleashed the process he cannot stop and made himself hostage to suicidal statecraft."
