As far as the Russian side is concerned, Ukraine is crucial After NATO's two eastward expansions, Russia is already in dire straits, and if ukraine is lost again, Russia will be almost completely surrounded by NATO and lose the only remaining strategic buffer space. Coupled with Russia's historical view of Ukraine as its sphere of influence, Russia will not abandon Ukraine. The Ukraine issue is a matter of life and death, so Russia's tough attitude towards Ukraine will not change. It can also be seen through the Minsk Agreement, which Russia has repeatedly asked to return to. There is no intention of going to war, but at present relying on military superiority to deter NATO is still Russia's bottom card.
As far as the United States is concerned, Ukraine is a tool for the United States to create regional tensions, and as long as the situation in Ukraine does not cool down and there is no wave of war, it will play a threatening role for Russia. First, it can disgust Russia and secondly fool other countries that are not very active in opposing Russia into completely turning to the United States, attracting fans and selling weapons for themselves, and establishing military bases to achieve the geopolitical and economic intentions of the United States.
The situation is more complex in the case of EU and NATO countries. Germany and France have their own small calculations, forced by nato's eldest son to give Ukraine aid, but in essence, neither country wants Ukraine to go to war, first, the refugees caused by the war will pour into the two countries at the first time to aggravate the social contradictions between the two countries, and second, because Russian oil has a large market share in Europe, and Germany and the Nord Stream 2 natural gas project. Therefore, Germany and France do not want to have a stalemate in relations with Russia, and hope to return to the Normandy model, eliminate US interference, and do business with Russia. Britain was not interested in the situation in Ukraine and could not intervene, and centrist countries such as Italy and Spain cooperated with the United States but did not take any action. As for the three Baltic countries and the countries of Eastern Europe, they are afraid of Russia and actively seek the protection of the United States. This is the main target of the United States mentioned above.
The saddest thing about the situation in Ukraine is Ukraine. Bought by the United States but still help it count money, always delusional that the United States will help him get justice, do not know that the United States is the master of selling puppets, before Crimea was sold once, if this time to sell Ukraine I am afraid it will be gone. Zelenskiy also realized that this time it might be a big game, and constantly explained to the people that "war will not happen, there is no need to be too nervous." It's in stark contrast to Biden's side of rendering the coming of war. The comedian used his political life to stage a black comedy — don't fall for the Americans.
