I read yesterday a very interesting piece in the NY times that had a sentence that impacted me:

Today, geopolitical strength is determined not by how much economic power you can wield, but by how much pain you can endure. Your enemy, unlike during the Cold War, is not somebody behind an iron curtain, but somebody with whom you trade, from whom you get gas and to whom you export high-tech goods. Soft power has given way to resilience.

Let's see how the conflict evolves, but the worst part is that we are going to see how the innocent people suffers in the middle of a hybrid conflict.
