Where is the ceasefire line in the Russia-Ukraine conflict? This has been a question lingering in the minds of many people for more than two years. With the terrorist attack in Moscow, the Russian army’s attack on Ukraine has escalated again. Ukrainian President Zelensky’s words may mean the outcome. , is already close at hand.
Zelensky’s evil smile
Zelensky’s exact words were this. He said that we do not have to regain all the territory through military means. I believe that when Putin loses what he took away from 2022, he will I'm willing to talk. How should this sentence be understood? There are two meanings. First, Zelensky is still showing toughness, claiming that the Ukrainian army can take back what was taken away by the Russian army after the outbreak of the war. The things here of course refer to the four Ukrainian states that have been included in the Russian territory. Secondly, Zelensky is also hinting that as long as the four eastern states are returned to me, we can still talk without Crimea.
After he said this, the general view among media from various countries was that this was the first time that Zelensky proposed that peace talks with Russia could be held without seeking to restore the 1991 borders, which was good news. But in fact, it is more like a helpless move by Zelensky, because looking back on the entire process of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, even the most radical supporters of Zelensky have to admit that the current Ukraine alone It is no longer possible to defeat the Russian army on any level.
Zelensky is becoming the "abandoned son" of the United States and the West
John Mearsheimer, a well-known American political scientist and professor. He recently put forward a point that if the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, then whether Ukraine can exist as a functional regime in the future will become a problem. What does that mean? That is to say, the current Russia-Ukraine conflict has essentially evolved into the frontline of the conflict between NATO and Russia. The Zelensky regime's task of dragging Russia into the quagmire of war has been completed, and its value in the eyes of the United States and the West has ceased. exists again.
Everyone should still remember that when the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out, many U.S. congressmen, including Hillary Clinton, said that they would fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. The war in Ukraine is a good deal. At that time, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was regarded by the American political elite as an external cause that stirred up the internal situation in Russia. Because they lacked understanding of Russia, they believed that once the war broke out, the Russian economy would collapse and anti-war sentiment would sweep across Russia. The Putin regime would fall dismally in a series of demonstrations.
Biden’s stance of supporting Ukraine against Russia in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has attracted criticism from many people in the United States.
This is a conclusion drawn by the U.S. government based on their own experience that is extremely divorced from reality. However, a series of facts that have occurred over the past two years, as well as Putin's re-election with a high vote some time ago, have completely failed the political intentions of the United States and the West. In this context, the necessity of continuing the Russia-Ukraine conflict has raised a big question mark. If Zelensky is fighting a war that is bound to lose and does not benefit the West, then it will Is it necessary to maintain it?
Of course, we must also realize that the outcome of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is directly related to whether Biden can be re-elected. At least this year, the United States will not allow Zelensky to surrender, but Zelensky knows very well that raising the white flag in advance will be the same as being arrested. The Russian army fought to the gates of Kiev and then surrendered, which are two completely different concepts. Now, the Russian army is attacking on the front line. The Ukrainian army is short of major generals and has no ammunition. It is completely unable to resist. If the Russian army really launches a cross-river battle this summer and gains a foothold along the Dnieper River, Ukraine will lose more than just There are four states in Wudong.
Zelensky is destined to end in tragedy
So now, Zelensky will release a signal of relaxation in advance, not only to let Putin see the basis of the negotiation, but also to suspend the offensive. It is also putting pressure on the United States. If you don’t give money, I will really vote. Sadly, as the Russia-Ukraine conflict has progressed, the initiative is no longer in Zelensky’s hands. The negotiation window in March 2022 has been missed, and the tragedy of Ukraine and Zelensky has become inevitable.
