I disagree with your interpretation.

The author does say that Ukraine has been changing for 10 years, since the 2014 Maidan that threw Yanukovych out.

Thanks to their successful revolution, they have socially developed along a very different path than Russia's other vassal states, even if Putin and his oligarchs don't understand that.

By noting the Trident tattoo on his veterinarian's wrist, he's saying there's a new pride that the Ukrainians are showing for their independence as a nation that wasn't there before.

That is is what makes Ukraine an impossible operation for Russia to defeat militarily.
