Today's Ukraine is in a "lonely" situation, and all former "allies" have adopted a strategy of "watching the fire from the other side". Ukrainian President Zelenskiy communicated with the leaders of 27 NATO countries, and none of them were willing to answer the question of whether ukraine would be allowed to join NATO head-on. Faced with the pending accession of Ukraine to NATO, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy has become quite angry, publicly stating that he is not afraid of negotiating status with Russia and is willing to remain neutral. 202202371/Aviation Vision/AZ, but Ukrainian President Zelenskiy turned his face like a book, and then Zelenskiy rejected Russia's proposal for negotiations, and Ukraine expressed its reluctance to hold negotiations in Belarus.
Russian troops are already in the city, the Ukrainian capital Kiev has heard explosions, according to Ukrainian media reports, on February 26 a residential building in Kiev was attacked by a missile, damaged several floors. On February 25, a building in Kiev was also hit by a Su-27 fighter jet, when the Ukrainian air defense forces were busy making a mistake and using S300 anti-aircraft missiles to hit the Su-27 fighter of the Ukrainian Air Force patrolling in Kiev, and the Su-27 fell into the building after being hit, thus causing a fire. All indications are that Russia and Ukraine have begun to fight in Kiev, and that Russian troops have previously fought on the outskirts of Kiev, including the seizure of important military airfields.
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy refused negotiations with Russia when he released his willingness to seek negotiations, and on February 26, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy posted a message through social media saying that it was now a critical period for Ukraine to join the European Union. Zelenskiy publicly stated after a phone call with European Council President Charles Michel that, judging from Zelenskiy's signal that Ukraine is going to end the current crisis by joining the European Union, also reflects Zelenskiy's intransigence. When joining NATO is hopeless, Zelenskiy has pinned his hopes on the European Union, because the impact of chaos in Ukraine on Europe is huge, and the European Union does not want to see the situation in Ukraine unstable.
For a long time, Ukraine has focused its strategic goal on joining NATO, but now Ukrainian President Zelenskiy has "turned the gun" to achieve deterrence against Russia by joining the European Union. The EU is very different from NATO, and while the EU and NATO have many overlapping member states, the EU is an alliance that emphasizes market integration, and NATO is a military bloc. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy wants to address Ukraine's security concerns through the European Union, and Aviation Vision sees this as a sign of Zelenskiy's disappointment with the United States. On the issue of Ukraine, the attitudes of the EU and NATO are at odds, and the EU does not want to see Ukraine thrown into chaos because it will have a huge impact on Europe.
The United States, far away on the North American continent, does not care about Ukraine falling into chaos, because the more chaotic Europe is, the more beneficial it will be for the United States, as can be seen from the withdrawal of tens of billions of dollars from Ukraine, the United States is the winner behind the scenes at this stage, for which the United States will not coordinate negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, but hope that the war between Russia and Ukraine will last a long time. Zelenskiy's attitude has changed, but instead of succumbing to Russia, he is trying to use the EU to confront Russia and resolve the current crisis, and Aviation Vision believes that Zelenskiy is too naïve, because Ukraine's accession to the EU will not reassure Russia that Russia wants a demilitarized Ukraine.
