At the 2024 summit, the Western G7 group has agreed to embezzle the proceeds of frozen Russian assets abroad to provide loan guarantees for Ukraine. In fact, in addition to the G7, Switzerland is also actively promoting the misappropriation of Russian assets so that it can continue to support Ukraine. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has made Switzerland shed its mask of camouflage, and the myth of Switzerland's so-called "permanent neutrality" is no longer there. The United States is the biggest archer of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the United States is trying to grab huge benefits through the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and now it seems that the United States is not the only winner, because European NATO countries have purchased $140 billion in weapons in the past two years, which is not as good as the $287.5 billion more that Russia earns.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg openly stated during his visit to the United States that NATO has increased the size of its defense budget, including the purchase of weapons and ammunition from the United States. Today's NATO has 32 member states, as Russia's neighbors Finland and Sweden have also joined NATO, in fact, Finland and Sweden are also known as "permanent neutrality", Russia just launched a "special military operation" against Ukraine, Finland and Sweden directly did not pretend, openly applied to join NATO, thus supporting NATO's further eastward expansion, in fact, it is also humiliating Russia, because Russia is because Ukraine wants to join NATO, for this reason launched a military operation against Ukraine.
Although the United States has made domestic arms dealers in the United States full power through military aid to Ukraine, and at the same time has promoted European countries to buy American weapons, but when the United States took the lead in getting Western countries to increase sanctions against Russia, Russia also became a winner. At present, Russia has controlled four regions in eastern Ukraine, and is already pushing for control of the Kharkiv region, in terms of the situation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia is the biggest winner, the West has provided Ukraine with a large number of weapons, but it has not prevented Russia from expanding its control. Now that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has entered its third year, Ukraine is unable to organize an effective counteroffensive, and is only using long-range strike weapons provided by the West to steam gas by striking targets in Russia.
In addition to Russia's continuous advancement in the scope of control, it has also made obvious breakthroughs in the field of foreign trade, and Russia's foreign exports have not looked to the east, thus greatly restricting the export of its goods. For the West, in addition to strategic resources, Russian products are a large number of substitutes, so the West for Russian products is "picky", now Russia has not looked at the face of the West, because it can export a large number of various commodities to the East, thereby enhancing Russia's comprehensive economic strength, the so-called West does not shine in the East, the West for Russia to encircle, so that Russia has found a new way to get rich.
For the West, sanctions against Russia are very unsuccessful, because Western companies have withdrawn from Russia in large numbers, and with the withdrawal of Western companies, there are naturally companies that want to enter the Russian market, so Russia has more choices. At a time when the United States has been fueling the Russia-Ukraine conflict for a long time, Russia has become one of the winners, which is obviously something that the United States did not expect.
