Two years ago, I outlined eight lessons from Russia's war against Ukraine. And though I warned that it was too early to be confident about any predictions, they have held up reasonably well. When Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, he envisaged a quick seizure of the capital, Kyiv, and a change of government – much like what the Soviets did in Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968. But the war is still raging, and no one knows when or how it will end. If one sees the conflict as Ukraine’s “war of independence,” rather than focusing...

In the end, they finished well clear of the bottom three, allowing a stable and solid foundation to finally have been built, hopefully set to encourage progression at last.
