According to a report by AFP on the 11th, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Britain, France, Italy and Germany within 48 hours to seek more military and financial support before the arrival of the harsh winter.
Visiting four countries in 48 hours, with an average of 12 hours per country, is really a tight time.
The purpose of the visit is also very simple, that is, two basic requirements:
Requirement 1: Hope that the conflict with Russia can end in 2025;
Requirement 2: It is hoped that Britain, France, Italy and Germany and other countries can continue to provide military support.
The president has traveled around the country, and the face is to be given, and the purpose is also partially achieved. This is not Germany's commitment to provide 1.4 billion euros in military aid to Ukraine by the end of the year together with Belgium, Denmark and Norway. Germany is providing an additional 4 billion euros in aid, but only in 2025.
The only unreasonable demand, to which none of the above countries agreed, was this special request: to unlock the long-range missile limit. However, they all said that as long as the Ukrainian side asks for it, they will unconditionally support Kyiv.
When Zelensky went to Europe, he also brought a "gift", that is, with a "victory plan".
In fact, Russia handled this dispute quite perfectly, and the bottom line was stepped on. It's not polite when it's time to strike, and it's not brutal at all when it's time to be gentle. Let the Ukrainian side not make a big scene, and let the supporters behind it have no chess pieces to play.
