Ukraine is the biggest loser right now, given that it's in their country all the destruction is happening in.
Russia also lost with it's false perception of being a world power prior to them getting their asses kicked.
Europe lost because they put all their eggs in the Russian energy basket and it's going to bite them in the ass real hard this winter.
Ukraine will come out stronger, with renewed Western ties. Russia just looks like a bitch. I mean, I've always said they were, I just didn't realize how terrible they were at militarying.
