Former German intelligence chief Schindler says that Russia has already regained its international status:
Now Russia has already returned to where it wanted to be on the international stage - it can participate in the G20 negotiations, and then, here, instead of the G7, they will participate again in the G8 and so on. That is, now Russia is on the way to victory in international politics. And Putin sees well what the Europeans are doing. Are they able to continue for years what Trump is no longer doing, namely supporting Ukraine? And he can easily understand it - no, they do not have the ability to continue this for years.
