On April 4th, The Economist Magazine published an article titled: What Vladimir Putin Misunderstood About Ukrainians. The article’s central argument is that Ukraine has struggled to find its identity and place globally.

However, Putin and others misunderstood that despite this struggle with their identity, they are not divided as is typically portrayed; although they have internal differences, they’re closer to each other than to other nations because they share this struggle. Recent events support that despite their differences, they have a common destiny and have united in the face of the adversity brought by Russia’s invasion.

The Economist article is reminiscent of a similar piece published by Venezuelan philosopher Arturo Úslar Pietri: Does Latin America Exist?
