Recently, there has been a wave of unsettled international affairs, especially on the side of Russia and Ukraine, and the situation is tense like a tightened bowstring. Zakharova, the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, is like a stern teacher, and issued a warning to the "naughty students" of several Western countries, which means, "Don't make trouble, it's not good for anyone to make a big fuss."
At this juncture, the Ukrainian army made a big move on May 16, using suicide drones to launch a "fire attack" on an oil refinery in Tuapse, Russia, directly turning it into a sea of fire. At this moment, the contradictions between the two countries are completely on the table, and they are hot.
Russia looks at it, this is not good, it has to show some real guys to respond. So, they did a non-combat exercise of nuclear weapons, which was like saying, "Don't look at me, I'm not a vegetarian, I have a guy in my hands." In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is showing off his muscles and telling the outside world that his military strength should not be underestimated.
Ukraine, on the other hand, has also begun to play new tactics, using long-range suicide drones to carry out precision strikes on Russia's energy facilities. In this way, it not only put pressure on Russia militarily, but also moved the economic cheese of others - energy exports. This trick is a bit like a "point point" when a master makes a move, hitting the point.
At this time, the attitude of the United States, as the big brother of the world, is particularly delicate. John Kirby of the National Security Council came out to speak, and what he meant was that the United States supported Ukraine, but it would not directly help Ukraine fight Russia itself, let alone send troops to Ukraine to participate in the war. It sounds like saying, "Brother, we know it's not easy for you, but you have to do it yourself, and we can't just help you."
Ukraine is certainly not satisfied with this, and they hope that the United States will lift some restrictions on the use of weapons, so that they can be free to strike military targets in Russia. However, the United States' attitude towards this is ambiguous, at least it did not say "okay, you can use it" in public.
The United Kingdom, on the other hand, is said to have been more active in its request for Ukraine, but the United States has chosen to stand behind the security line and does not intend to provoke Russia too much. Kirby once again reiterated that the principle of the United States is very clear: it will not encourage or participate in attacks on the Russian mainland, let alone directly enter the war.
This series of events is like an international version of the "cat and mouse game", where each participant carefully calculates to protect his own interests and prevent the conflict from escalating to the point of uncontrollable.
