The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still ongoing, and the US media said that the respective reinforcements of the Russian and Ukrainian armies are massaging in the eastern part of Ukraine, and the biggest military conflict may come in the near future.
This seems to be the same routine as the "Russian-Ukrainian War Day" hyped by the Western media before, but the current situation is a hundred times more complicated than more than a month ago, and if another large-scale conflict breaks out, then the battlefield will not only be in Ukraine, but the whole of Europe may be involved in a catastrophe.
Therefore, for the SPECULATION of the US media this time, Europe's attitude should be more cautious, but unfortunately, the latest statements of Europe and NATO have undoubtedly added fire to the situation.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrell confirmed on April 11 that the EU wants to resolve the Conflict in Ukraine through a "military solution" and discusses expanding aid to Ukraine. Almost at the same time, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg also revealed plans for a permanent military deployment on the east wing in response to "new realities" in Europe.
NATO and the EU have both made tough statements and unanimously expressed their plans to strengthen investment at the military level, which is obviously not a coincidence, after all, the EU has been more cautious in its attitude on the issue of military assistance to Ukraine, and is not willing to over-stimulate Russia and lead to strategic misjudgment, but from the current situation, Europe's attitude is quietly changing.
Whether Borrell's so-called "military solution" refers to aiding weapons of mass destruction or projecting troops to Ukraine on the grounds of recruiting mercenaries, these actions will undoubtedly anger Russia and may lead to serious consequences for further escalation of the conflict.
Before the Russian and Ukrainian sides held 5 rounds of talks, but after the large-scale speculation of the "Bucha incident" in Ukraine and Western public opinion, the results achieved in the negotiations have been wiped out, Ukraine once again reneged on its commitment to seek to join NATO, and the two sides are ready to "flip the table".
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy claimed on the 9th that the country is ready to engage in an "uphill battle" with the assembled Russian troops in the eastern region, and called on Western countries to provide more military assistance to Ukraine before the start of the new conflict. This statement can be understood as a "pre-war mobilization" before the outbreak of a new conflict, and from this point of view, the "biggest military conflict" hyped by the US media does not seem to be empty.
Ukraine's posture of taking over this move is actually a bet that Russia will not launch a large-scale offensive at this stage, because the current Russian firepower is mainly concentrated in the Donbass region, and the main goal of military operations is still in the "de-Nazification" stage, and the next stage of the task will not be launched until this goal is completed.
But Ukraine is also reluctant to attack passively, so it wants to disrupt the established plans of the Russian army and then take the initiative into its own hands. At the same time, Zelenskiy also intended to use this to gain bargaining chips with the Russian army.
Although the current situation is tense, it is generally controllable, because both sides still have the willingness to negotiate, and in the past month or so, Russia and Ukraine have been in a state of fighting and talking at the same time. Advisers to the Ukrainian president's office claimed that Zelenskiy would meet with Putin "after Ukraine defeated Russia in the eastern region", which he believed would support Ukraine's negotiating position.
But Russia's decision to launch a "military operation" in Ukraine in a backwater war proves that Russia must achieve its stated goal this time - to make Ukraine "de-Nazismized" and "demilitarized", otherwise it will not stop there.
If Ukraine wants to bargain, it may not be so easy, unless it can form an overwhelming military advantage, but from the war report released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, some of the weapons and equipment inherited by Ukraine from the Soviet Union have been exhausted, and several military facilities have been targeted by Russia.
The United States had already supplied Ukraine with multiple batches of weapons before the EU and NATO's statements, and Sullivan, the president's national security adviser, claimed in an interview that the United States was providing aid to Ukraine day and night, and weapons arrived in Ukraine almost every day, with the aim of "weakening and isolating Russia."
While instigating public opinion to criticize Russia, the United States and Western countries continue to hand over knives to Ukraine to aggravate the deterioration of the situation.
The Cold War has been over for decades, but today in the 21st century the international community is once again mired in panic about war, which can be called a tragedy in human history. However, the Ukrainian issue has a complex historical latitude and longitude, and NATO's five eastward expansions have greatly reduced Russia's strategic space and forced the latter to a desperate situation.
We advocate that the legitimate security concerns of any country should be respected, the war is merciless, the guns are blind, the biggest victims of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are innocent people, in the face of the current situation, China has always used its own way to stop the war and promote peace, we sincerely hope that the situation can be eased at an early date and the conflict can be ended as soon as possible.
