Regardless of how worn-out Russians may be, therefore, Putin will stick to his selective perception of reality, looking for reasons for and ways to further escalate his addictive crusade against the current world order.
How to deal with this Russia will be a headache for the United States and its allies for years, possibly decades, to come. As to whether Putin’s heirs will be able or willing to fundamentally change course and begin to atone for his crimes—it is, at best, an open question.
NATO membership might not yet be in the cards for Kyiv, but leaving Ukraine without a reliable security arrangement would be a grave mistake. The United States and Europe must begin now to devise a workable plan, even as the war rages on.
President Putin revived Stalinist anti-Americanism to justify a botched war. No longer is Russia simply bringing to heel a weak Ukraine that has fallen under the spell of “neo-Nazis.” Russia’s real fight is against the mighty United States, which wants to destroy it, while Ukraine is merely an obedient U.S. satellite.
Odessa is a very cosmopolitan city and always prided itself on not being defined by any single nationality. While it has certainly rejected Russia, its place in the new Ukraine is still being negotiated.

Don’t Believe the Hype—the War in Ukraine Has Led to Little Change.
