Out of curiosity, how do those who dispute what Putin is saying here explain multipolarisation? It would be silly to say the war would have no detrimental effects. But that doesn't mean there aren't any benefits for Russia… how does this factor into your assessment of the situation?

It doesn't, their tactic is just to repeat their dogmatic mantras with no material analysis.
