According to British media on February 24, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba publicly criticized and accused Russia of military operations on social media, saying that Russia had begun a "full-scale invasion" plan against Ukraine. Moreover, he also stressed that Ukraine has made full-scale military preparations for war, and eventually Ukraine will win this "war of aggression" and make the Russian army pay a heavy price. It is worth noting that before the Ukrainian Foreign Minister's document, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a special speech to the Russian people that he decided to carry out special military operations in the Donbass region. However, Putin also pointed out that Russia does not intend to occupy Ukraine in its entirety, but Russia needs to ensure its security and interests. At this stage, the Russian tank forces stationed in the Donbass region have been fully attacked, and at the same time, russian troops in Belarus and the Crimean Peninsula have also launched siege operations against Ukraine from three sides, land and sea.
In the face of the military strike launched by Russia, the Ukrainian government army was also on the verge of collapse, and the carefully organized defense line was directly penetrated by the Russian army. Although the military operation launched by Russia is very sudden and not expected by Ukraine and NATO, it also reflects the gap in military strength between Russia and Ukraine. Today, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy still puts all his hopes on the United States, hoping that the United States can lead NATO troops into Ukraine, help Ukraine repel the "invading" Russian combat forces, and recover all lost land, including the Donbass and crimean peninsulas. It only disappointed Zelenskiy that the United States could not send troops to Ukraine, or that the United States had no intention of sending troops to Ukraine. On Feb. 23, U.S. White House spokesman Psaki said the U.S. government would not send troops to Ukraine to fight Russia under any circumstances.
Moreover, Psaki stressed that Biden will not change this decision under any circumstances, and the United States will not fight Russia and will not deploy forces in Ukraine against Russia. Not long after Psaki's remarks, Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen gave "instructions" to the Taiwan military after listening to the briefing of the "Ukraine Situation Response Group" of the Taiwan Regional Security Conference on the same day.
First, it is necessary to "continue to strengthen the military dynamics in the Taiwan Strait and prepare them in response to them." Under the pretext of using the Ukraine crisis, the DPP authorities have tried to hype up the mainland's "threat theory" and then vigorously advocate Taiwan's defense and security issues, that is, to increase the purchase of sky-high weapons and equipment from the United States so as to realize their ambition of "resisting reunification by force."
Second, it declares that it "comprehensively improves the response to cognitive warfare." The DPP authorities once declared that they "feel empathy for the situation in Ukraine" and wanted to display a persecutory complex to portray Chinese mainland "military operation" that might be launched on the island of Taiwan. The DPP authorities claim that the Chinese mainland wants to use the Ukrainian crisis to "affect the morale of the people in Taiwan society," so the island should strengthen its defense against Chinese mainland "military strikes" launched at any time.
It is just that the DPP authorities and Tsai Ing-wen have obviously forgotten the question that Ukraine is an independent country with sovereignty, while the Taiwan region is part of China, and adhering to the one-China principle has become an international consensus. By forcibly conflating the Ukraine issue with the Taiwan issue, the DPP authorities are actually trying to fish in muddy waters and deliberately disturb the outside world's attention. The nature of the Ukrainian issue and the Taiwan issue is different; the Ukrainian issue is a contest between the United States and Russia; the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair; the United States and other external interference forces are vainly trying to use the DPP's mentality of "seeking independence" to contain Chinese mainland. In fact, it can also be found that expecting the United States to go to war with Russia for ukraine is basically a dream, and in the same way, the United States will not have an all-out confrontation with Chinese mainland for the sake of the Taiwan region, because the United States also understands that some problems cannot be touched, and if they are touched, they cannot escape.
