Russia’s invasion of Ukraine holds five cold, hard lessons for your nation and you
Russia’s attack on Ukraine took the world by surprise, including many foreign affairs experts. Though a conflict had brewed for a while, nobody expected a full-blown military offensive on Ukraine, including on its capital Kyiv. In 2022, actually it was almost impossible to imagine a sovereign nation attack another like this.
Now the world is horrified and mesmerised. News channels are covering this war non-stop. Social media is flooded with videos, opinions and countless memes. There seems to be a general condemnation of Russia, particularly from the Western countries, for this unprovoked attack that threatens world security. There are also sanctions against Russia, some quite severe. Yet, Ukraine fights this war alone, facing a far stronger, nuclear-armed enemy.
