Since the end of 2021, the situation between Ukraine and Russia has become increasingly tense. Both sides began to mobilize large numbers of troops to the border areas, and the Ukrainian government, together with the United States and other NATO members, hyped up public opinion, announcing that Russia might "invade" Ukraine. However, the Russian government has repeatedly denied the so-called "invasion", stressing that Russia is currently under threat from NATO activities and that the concentration of troops is only to protect border security. Russia then drafted a security appeal, but both were rejected by the United States and NATO. Now that Ukraine and Russia have officially severed diplomatic relations, Russia has finally lived up to the expectations of the United States and launched an offensive against Ukraine.
The situation in Russia and Ukraine is difficult to return
Analysts pointed out that the contradictions between Russia and Ukraine did not occur only in the past two years, as early as 2003, after the "color revolution" in Ukraine, in order to prevent the country from being affected by the geopolitical influence of the West against Russia, Russia did its best to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. Since then, the relations between the two countries have also begun to have contradictions, and it can be said that the essence revealed behind the Russian-Ukrainian relations is the relationship between Russia and the West.
In this regard, Russian President Vladimir Putin has also said in front of the media before that Ukraine is just a "pawn" used by the United States in the process of imposing sanctions on Russia. Regarding the current tension between Russia and Ukraine, Putin is very aware that when the real war comes, the United States will not care about Ukraine's security at all. Now that Russia and Ukraine have "opened fire" on each other, the United States has indeed "stood alone."
Ukraine severs diplomatic relations with Russia
According to foreign media reports, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has long made a request to the Ukrainian government to sever all diplomacy with Russia, and now, Zelenskiy has also announced that Ukraine has completely severed diplomatic ties with Russia and ordered that all chargé d'affaires stationed in Russia be recalled.
With regard to Ukraine's approach, the Russian government believes that the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries will only make the people of the two countries face a more difficult situation. However, in Zelenskiy's view, the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries will not make Ukraine face "war". But the reality is harsh, and after Ukraine and Russia severed diplomatic relations, the war between the two countries officially began.
Now that the whole territory of Ukraine has entered a wartime state, it is ridiculous that the United States, which has always supported Ukraine before, has declared that no matter what the situation, the United States will not fight Russia, let alone send troops to Ukraine. After all, a very large part of the reason for the situation between Russia and Ukraine today is because of the impetus of the United States, and now that Russia and Ukraine have officially started war, the United States has patted its ass and left, leaving Ukraine alone to face Russia.
