Gains and losses of the Russian-Ukrainian war: which countries have earned and which have lost?
The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for 15 months, and it has had a huge impact on the world, with some countries benefiting and others suffering hard. So, what will be the final direction of this war?Who will be the winner?
In this war, the worst are Ukraine, Russia and European countries.
Ukraine is the biggest casualty of this war, not only losing part of its territory, but also suffering severe economic and social damage. Ukraine used to be the breadbasket of Europe, but now it depends on food relief from the United States.
Ukraine's population has also been decimated, with tens of millions of people becoming refugees and hundreds of thousands killed or missing in the war. There is an irony that this year's World War II veterans in Ukraine celebrated Victory Day without being ridiculed by young people who had already died.
Ukraine's economic losses are difficult to calculate, not to mention the trauma of its country and nation. Netizens said that Ukraine has been beaten to rubble.
Russia was the initiator of this war, but it did not gain anything and paid a heavy price.
On the face of it, Russia's economic, military and human losses are not too large, with only a slight decline in GDP and no more than 40,000 Russian casualties.
However, Russia's losses are deep-seated and are primarily reflected in its international status and influence.
The war has transformed Russia from a global power to a regional power. Britain ** said that due to Western sanctions and blockades, Russia had to bow to China and even became a "lackey" of China.
Of course, this is the prejudice of the British **, but it is undeniable that Russia is becoming more and more dependent on China in this war.
The European countries were bystanders to the war, but they were not spared, but were greatly affected.
Europe has faced an influx of Ukrainian refugees and regional instability triggered by the war, which has led to the flight of many European capitals to the United States or China.
Europe's energy ** has also been hit by Russia, and the energy ** has skyrocketed, and the economy has been affected.
At the same time, as a result of the Ukrainian issue, divisions within Europe have intensified, provoked by the United States and Great Britain, and European unity has been undermined.
In the Russia-Ukraine war, Europe is also one of the losers.
Some people are suffering in the Russian-Ukrainian war, then there are people who are reaping the benefits of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The biggest winner in this war is undoubtedly the United States, which has always been behind the scenes and forced Russia to go to war.
The United States benefited from this war in many ways.
First of all, Russia, an old adversary of the United States, has been hit hard, and the United States has gained a stronger competitive advantage in the international arena. It can even be said that the United States can ignore Europe in the future and concentrate on dealing with China.
Second, a large part of the large amount of capital lost in Europe went to the United States, injecting vitality into the American economy.
Again, the Russian-Ukrainian war has brought the best to Europe, which has plunged Europe into chaos and interrupted the process of European union in recent years.
With the assistance of Britain, the United States succeeded in dividing Europe internally, turning "Europe for Europeans" into "Europe for Americans", thereby increasing American influence in Europe.
In the end, the United States took the opportunity to make huge profits by taking advantage of the large number of ** arms.
The United States is the big winner in this war, and China is not bad in this war.
Some of the capital outflow from Europe has come to China, and German and French investment in China has increased significantly.
Russia's growing dependence on China during the war has made China dominate cooperation with Russia, which has long-term implications for China's interests.
At the same time, Europe, under the control of the United States**, is also beneficial to China.
A united EU is the existence that China and the United States have to deal with carefully, and a leading EU is an ideal market for Chinese enterprises.
Finally, due to the declining credibility of the United States, both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war believe that China is the only country qualified to host peace talks, which has greatly improved China's international standing, especially in Europe.
Another country that has made a small profit is India.
India has also gained something in this Russia-Ukraine war, on the one hand, by attracting some European capital, and on the other hand, by obtaining some European orders.
Moreover, as a country that has good relations with both Western countries and Russia, India has also played a role in geopolitics, and it has been on the right and left.
Who will be the ultimate winner?
Although the Russian-Ukrainian war is not over yet, it can be expected that it will eventually stop with the intervention of some extraterritorial countries.
It could be China's mediation, it could be the United States' hand-out, it could be a compromise from Europe or Russia, and this war will end one day.
So the question is, who will be the final winner of this war?
The final winner may be the United States or China, depending on whether the United States can control its ambitions and not interfere too much in this war, otherwise it may set itself on fire and allow China to take the opportunity to take the place of the United States.
This is not impossible, the United States has been a little carried away recently, and seems to have forgotten that if it wants to make the most money in the Russian-Ukrainian war, it must try to stay away from this war.
If the United States plays with fire itself, then China may become the country that will benefit most from this war.
In conclusion, the Russia-Ukraine war is a war that has a profound impact on the world, it has changed the fate of many countries, and it has also changed the balance of the international landscape.
We don't know when this war will end, nor what its final outcome will be, but we can be sure that there is no real justice in this war, only a game of interests.
We hope that this war will be stopped at an early date and that peace and development will be the main theme of the world, not war and destruction.
