With Ukraine taking nato's "thigh", the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian border began to deteriorate rapidly. However, just as Russia was preparing to be tough, NATO was "soft" at the first time.
At the end of November, when the situation between Russia and Ukraine was escalating, and there were hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides in the border areas of the two countries, Putin was ready to give Ukraine some "hard" at any time. At this critical juncture, on November 28, a report in the "Reference News" mentioned that NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg, speaking publicly, although Ukraine has always been a NATO partner country, in the treaty on NATO's collective security, there is no Ukrainian name, it is not a member of NATO, NATO is only responsible for providing military resources and logistical assistance to it, but not the responsibility to protect Ukraine.
As soon as these words came out, the outside public opinion caused an uproar, and it was probably clear what the situation was - on the matter of "betraying teammates", NATO once again showed its "extraordinary" talent directly. Especially in Ukraine, because Ukraine has recently hyped up the topic of Russia's 40 armored combat groups ready to invade, which led to the Ukrainian people realizing for the first time that they have once again been betrayed by NATO. It has been less than 1 year since the last public "betrayal". At that time, the French president also clearly told Ukraine that NATO supported Ukraine's territorial ownership statement, and it was limited to "support".
The German media "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" also described pointedly that NATO has noted that Russia is massaging troops in key areas on a large scale, and that main battle tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, drones and a series of electronic warfare equipment have arrived at the front.
In fact, since the beginning of November, Ukraine, seeing that the relations between NATO groups and Russia are becoming increasingly tense, has begun to constantly create rumors in international public opinion and spread the threat of war in Russia. Originally, in the perspective of a large number of "talents" in Ukraine, NATO attracted great attention from Russia, and the US military also carried out different degrees of air military threats in the eastern region of Russia, and Putin is unlikely to attack Ukraine at this time, at the risk of being attacked by the enemy on his stomach and back.
Unexpectedly, however, Putin did not intend to make concessions, but took a series of tough measures, and by the end of November, it was already reported that a series of Russian armored forces had been assembled on the front line, and even the nearest temporary military camp was less than 27 kilometers and half an hour away from the Ukrainian border.
It is worth noting that some voices on the Internet believe that Ukraine's continuous creation of Russian threat public opinion is actually an attempt to drag NATO into the water. Because Ukraine knows that with its declining national strength alone, it will not have a chance to take Crimea. Whether Zelenskiy wants to win Crimea for his own political influence or if Zelenskiy really wants to take Crimea, Ukraine's relations with Russia must deteriorate.
To paraphrase a very classic evaluation on the Internet, after the big thing, Putin "a glare", NATO was the first time to instigate, but also to Ukraine dropped a sentence - "bring your own dog food." (Listen to the wind blowing the lotus)
