The Hill
A Ukrainian historian wrote in an opinion piece in The New York Times on Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin made two major miscalculations regarding the invasion of Ukraine.
Yaroslav Hrytsak, a historian and professor at the Ukrainian Catholic University, wrote that Russian aggression has been met with heroic Ukrainian resistance and united the West.
He referred to Putin as a master tactician but an incompetent strategist, and said he had made his most profound miscalculation by not anticipating a response from the West and Ukrainian resistance.
He was hoping that the West would tacitly swallow his aggression against Ukraine. He didn't expect a unified response from the West. Russian and Ukrainians were one nation, and Mr. Putin thought Russian troops needed barely to enter to be welcomed with flowers. He wrote that this never materialized.
Hrytsak wrote that despite Putin likely escalating the conflict further, he is far from the military victory he sought.
He said that Putin believes that he is at war with the West in Ukrainian lands.
It is essential to grasp this point. Hrytsak wrote that the only way to defeat him was to turn his belief that Ukraine is fighting alone but with the help of the West into a nightmare.
More than three weeks have passed since Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine.
Hrytsak said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014) confirmed that the distinction between Ukrainians and Russians is not in language, religion or culture.
He wrote that a victorious democratic revolution is almost impossible in Russia, whereas a viable authoritarian government is almost impossible in Ukraine.
