Yesterday evening, there was a discussion on #italian #TV where journalist Andrea #Scanzi had an illuminating take on the #war in #Ukraine: #Putin has won. He took all the important parts, the prospering south, the grain, the agriculture. He secured a corridor to #Krimea. What remains is destroyed land, caught in war forever. #Selenskyj already has become a de facto military dictator. And the warzone will effectively isolate and protect #Russia from #NATO and #EU.

He played us - and won.
