A Russian-speaking, pro-Ukrainian expert:
- Putin chose the pole of Cynicism. The West responded by choosing the pole of Hypocrisy.

Drawing upon this thought, which resonates with everything I have long been writing, firmly and with immense concern, I will present here my own perspective on the current global strategic situation (and, between the lines – on the situation in our own country).
But!
But the model of Assad's collapse must say something very stressful to Putin:
You win elections with colossal percentages, you control the media, you crush the opposition, society considers you the sole guarantor of the state and statehood, the army is unconditionally subordinate to you and you send it to the slaughter for your own paranoid reasons and with your own idiotic arguments, and it goes there like countless columns of cannon fodder...
And suddenly!
And suddenly everything collapses in three days, no one defends you, the soldiers run away, the people stay at home, your loyalists in the government your loyalists in the government abandon you, not a single good word is heard about you, and you run in panic to some Pyongyang on a plane, packed with your closest people and most expensive belongings...

A new genre of strategic analysis, or rather strategic post-factum analysis, has emerged in the West.
Lengthy and programmatic texts are being written with the aim of explaining what the West has failed to do to help Ukraine and justifying what the West has done to hinder Ukraine.
Efforts are made to find countless explanations, all in an attempt to avoid admitting that the West had no credible information about Putin's potential use of nuclear weapons—it was simply afraid. Purely and simply afraid.
And it remains afraid even now.
We look at another shocking election result as yet another extremely unpleasant isolated case.
But this is actually a falling domino - tile after tile.
Alas...
We are talking about a catastrophically destructive process, based on a very dangerous pattern.
We are observing a time of terrible staggering in a revanchist, nazist, chauvinistic, misanthropic direction and of political parasitism on low and poor, primitive and first-signal drives and instincts.
Ukraine has achieved miracles in its difficult battle with the treacherous enemy. I did not believe that a people with a European self-awareness could fight so sacrificially and fearlessly today!
Recently, there has been a bending under the brutal pressure, indifferent to its own human victims and to the barbaric destruction it is causing to Ukraine.
Alarming processes of fatigue and despair are gaining strength in Ukrainian society.
Through the magnifying glass of the given tens of thousands of dead and maimed and from the losses at the front, Ukrainians inevitably become more and more critical of their president and the top military leadership.
Yes, they are partly right.
