EU Should Enlarge, Even Out of Despair – COMMENTARY
3 October 2024
The days of Vladimir Putin holding court in Central Asia have ended. Now, he must listen to former sycophants tell him the limits of his influence while seeing leaders from Beijing, Brussels and Washington replace him.
One of Vladimir Putin’s main reasons for unleashing the war against Ukraine is what observers have called the Russian president’s nostalgia for the Soviet Union, and his desire to restore the lost empire. If a common state was too much to ask, then at least he wants to bring Kyiv under Russia’s sphere of influence. But the failure of Putin’s “blitzkrieg” and the defeats suffered by the Russian army in these recent months have caused the Kremlin to lose influence where its role – until lately – seemed unshakable.
