Your country managed to deal with the crisis in a way better than many of the analysts anticipated.
Hah, you can find "analysts" predicting all sorts of thing but you had to be very naive to believe those fearmongers "predicting" that EU would freeze to death.

Let's be frank, Europe was helped not by analysts' mistakes, but by this abnormally warm winter. There has never been a frost so far this winter.
I have noticed more than once that nature in this war is not on the side of Russia. Previously, it was interesting to observe how Russian ships repeatedly tried to land troops off the coast of Odessa and they were constantly hindered by storms at sea, as a result of which Russia could not carry out such an operation (with the exception of one relatively small attempt with a complete loss of troops), because later the APU it became possible to destroy enemy ships on the way.

Actually, the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine on February 24 began with the advance almost exclusively along the well-maintained roads of Ukraine, since at that time it was difficult even for tracked armored vehicles to drive through the Ukrainian muddy black soil. We have repeatedly seen photos and videos of serviceable Russian tanks, armored vehicles and other military equipment stuck in the mud and abandoned. At the same time, the advance of the occupying troops almost exclusively along the roads of Ukraine was a good opportunity to shoot many kilometers of columns as if in a shooting range, as a result of which the Russian army suffered significant losses in the first month of the offensive and was forced to retreat from the central and northern parts of Ukraine.

Recently, I was also surprised when I looked at the weather map. A sharp cold snap was from Russia and its borders almost coincided with the borders of Ukraine, and they went around Ukraine almost along the contour of its borders. This is very symbolic.

Russia periodically launches rockets and anything capable of firing at Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure in an attempt to cause panic and fear among the civilian population because it cannot gain an advantage on the battlefield. And what did she achieve? Only the hatred of Ukrainians for Russia and everything Russian.
