I don’t believe in tears on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, but there are traces of everything. Zelensky’s statements in the past two days have once again proved that China’s judgment is right about some things.
A few days ago, when referring to peace talks, Zelensky said for the first time: Even if Ukraine’s 1991 border is not restored, previous peace talks between the two countries can start. What I want to talk about now is the 2022 border.
boots landed! There is no doubt that this shows that for the current Kiev regime, Crimea lost before 2022 can be ceded to Russia. For the time being, Kyiv can basically accept it. You know, Zelensky has been bitten to death before, and the borders must be restored to 1991. To this end, he even hesitated to legislate: there will be no negotiation unless the lost land is regained.
Today, these words are still in his ears, but he swallowed them back hard.
We cannot say that Zelensky is a coward for doing this. We can only say that he was forced by the situation. In the past few days, there has been more and more negative news about him and the Uzbek Army, especially the exposure of his personal accounts on March 29. It is more like there are hands behind him, trying to pull him into the abyss.
On March 29, Ukrainian media revealed that the income of Zelensky and his family will rise again in 2023. It suddenly increased from 3.7 million hryvnia in 2022 to 12.42 million hryvnia. The reason it went up so much is because he sold government bonds. The Ukrainian government is now financially strapped and officials are selling bonds everywhere, but as president he is selling them. In this way, how many people still believe that he has no selfish motives.
This reminds me of what Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said recently. The reporter asked Lavrov: "Zelensky's original presidential term is until May 20. What do you think might happen after that?" Lavrov said directly: Let's wait and see! (He) will live until that time first...
commented that: Lavrov's words may predict Zelensky's next fate. Who knows whether he will still be in office after May 20? At this juncture, Zelensky’s top priority is to end the war as soon as possible, rather than spending time with Putin. Based on this calculation, what else does Crimea have that cannot be sacrificed?
However, on the other hand, the Kremlin is cautious about Zelensky's proposal to "use the 2022 border as a condition for negotiation." Kremlin spokesman Peskov said: "This completely violates the Ukrainian President's regulations prohibiting negotiations with Russia!" In other words, the Kremlin believes that if Zelenskiy is sincere in negotiating, it is still his own law and he will first Abolish it! For Zelensky, this is completely heartbreaking.
Talking about it means losing face; not talking about it means losing face. What should Zelensky do? News from the front line gave him the answer.
On March 29, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army Serski, who was supported by Zelensky with one hand, admitted in front of everyone: "The situation on the battlefield is difficult." Moreover, he also confirmed that the Russian army used the famous "Doomsday Chariot" on the Wudong front line.
It should be said that when things have reached this point, Zelensky has no better way besides negotiation, and Putin's heart has been relieved. Of course, this once again confirmed that China’s previous judgment was correct. You may still remember that China’s special envoy Li Hui just completed the second round of mediation a few days ago. After returning to China, Li Hui held a press conference and personally confirmed that the countries he had visited, including Russia, Ukraine and some European countries, were willing to advance the peace process.
At that time, many people did not believe Li Hui's statement and believed that Ukraine would not be willing to negotiate. Now Zelensky’s attitude has proven everything. At the same time, this also proves the point that China put forward at the beginning: The Russia-Ukraine issue has deep historical causes. War cannot solve the problems between them, and only diplomacy and negotiation can be used. May the war stop soon!
