 | | As Russia continues to make gains on the ground in Ukraine, particularly in the Donbas region, where the war's fighting is now most intense, writes Eurasia Group president Ian Bremmer this week, President Vladimir Putin can and will inflict more pain, even though his military is not strong enough to capture all of Ukraine as he initially hoped.
Still, from a longer-term perspective, argues Bremmer, Russia has already lost this war, and Putin's decision to invade will be remembered as one of the biggest blunders by any leader of a major power in decades: "Putin has exposed Russia as a delusional and dangerous power that wants to redesign Europe's security architecture and redraw the boundaries of a neighboring democracy with brute force and a steady stream of lies about its motives."
