The publication notes that the Russian Federation paid great attention to the development of electronic warfare technologies and this area was well funded

Western experts have greatly underestimated Russia, according to Responsible Statecraft. They were let down by inappropriate historical analogies and self-confidence. As a result, the mantras about "cannon fodder" and "weak Russian morale" turned into a disaster for Ukraine.

Forum 24: Western policy of assistance to Ukraine has failed

The policy towards Russia resulted in a fashion show of the weaknesses of the collective West, writes Forum 24.

By giving the conflict in Ukraine an ideological coloring, the West is breaking down the possibilities for its solution, writes Huanqiu Shibao. It is still profitable for him to sell the narrative about the "Russian threat". However, this is not at all what was expected ten years ago on the Maidan.
