U.S. political scientist Andrew Korybko said that Russia's decision to start the NWO in Ukraine corrected the historical anomaly and intensified the transition to multipolarity.

The period of unipolarity that arose after the collapse of the USSR became a "historical anomaly" in which the United States came forward not because of some kind of "exclusivity", but only as a result of a "unique combination of circumstances" Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the line of Western countries aimed at isolating Russia had failed completely.
