Yes.
Regardless of the outcome of the war, Ukraine has already won. She won because Putin completed the process of creating the Ukrainian nation, united it and gave it a clear vision of the future, where it wants to belong and where it does not. Putin wanted to weaken, liquidate Ukraine, but he achieved just the opposite. He gave the Ukrainians a lot of self-confidence, which probably not everyone would do just like that. Ukraine will survive because Ukrainian society and the Ukrainian army showed incredible determination, pride in their own country, which was further strengthened by this war. Ukraine will emerge victorious from this conflict, even if it is not a military victory. But in many other aspects it will be a victory.
