Just as Russia and Ukraine were preparing to begin peace talks, both the United States and the European Union issued announcements that they would continue to supply weapons to Ukraine. Eu High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Borrell said on the 28th that the EU will provide financial support for the shipment of weapons to Ukraine. NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg spoke with Zelenskiy and said that NATO will continue to supply Ukraine with air defense and anti-tank weapons. The United States directly wants to provide Ukraine with anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons and ammunition, and the European Union even provides Ukraine with a sitting plane.
In addition to the United States and European countries continuing to encourage Ukraine to provide weapons and ammunition, it is clear that the United States is further doing to stimulate tensions. According to the US news website "BuzzFeed" reported on the 28th, a team composed of 10 retired special forces is assembling in Poland to prepare to enter Ukraine to participate in the war. They plan to respond to Zelenskiy's call to "join the defense of Ukraine, Europe and the world" and join the "Ukrainian Territorial Defense International Corps," where a retired U.S. Army veteran is arranging their passage.
The team reportedly consisted of 10 people, 6 Americans, 3 Britons and 1 German. They are all trained in NATO military and have extensive experience in close combat and counterterrorism. U.S. media said they all wanted to be part of the "Ukrainian Territorial Defense International Team." The united states and European countries do not want Ukraine to succumb to Russia. The United States has repeatedly stated that it will not send troops to help Ukraine, which means that the Frontal Forces of the United States will not enter Ukraine and will not go directly to war with Russian troops.
However, the military forces of mercenaries and retired soldiers in the United States and the West can enter Ukraine in this way to fight with the Russian army. In fact, the United States and the West have long existed in Ukraine, and there is a team called the "Georgian National Army" in Ukraine, which is the mercenary army organized by the Western countries to help Ukraine train combat teams. With the United States and Western countries openly sending mercenaries to Ukraine, this is clearly not good news for Russia. After all, the us approach is to try to hold Russia back through this non-state military force, and it is best to let Russia fall into the quagmire of war in Ukraine for a long time.
The United States has no intention of ending the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, much less to work for peace in Ukraine. Otherwise, the United States would not have had to provide Ukraine with weapons, including anti-aircraft missiles, when ukraine wanted to call for peace. At the same time, it also sent mercenaries to Ukraine, which is not to encourage Ukraine to continue its war with Russia? Obviously, the same psychology as the United States is also the United States's big follower, the British, these two Anglo-Saxon families naturally wear a pair of pants, in the Ukraine crisis, britain did not less pick and play, made a qualified churning stick.
Upon hearing that the United States had sent mercenaries to Ukraine, the British Foreign Secretary was like chicken blood, openly calling on British veterans to go to Ukraine to participate in the war. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported on the 27th that on the morning of the 27th local time, British Foreign Secretary Liz Tras said that if the British choose to go to Ukraine to participate in the battle, she will definitely support them. This kind of blatant support, even if it would violate British law, Waslas was not hesitant to do so. It can be seen that this war maniac seems to smell blood.
The Foreign Conscription Act, passed by the British as early as 1870, made it illegal for any British subject to join a foreign army and fight in a country at peace with Britain. That is to say, if British retired soldiers enter Ukraine to participate in the war against Russia, it means that these soldiers will face illegal acts when they return to Britain. However, these are only legal issues, and Britain is obviously the most happy to be able to drag Russia into the water and make Russia and Europe turn against each other.
However, this situation seems to be somewhat unfavorable to Russia, and the purpose of the United States is to drag Russia back and let Russia fall into the quagmire of war in Ukraine for a long time. But how can Putin not see the US plot, and Putin is obviously not willing to fall into such a trap. For now, the operational achievements of the Russian army have not been highlighted because Putin ordered a suspension of the offensive on the 25th. But after Putin ordered the continuation of the offensive against Ukraine, Ukraine's military targets have been increasingly destroyed by russian forces.
According to the Financial Associated Press reported on February 28, at present, the Russian army has penetrated from the Ukrainian border in many ways, and the fierce exchange of fire is mainly concentrated in the capital Kiev and the main city Kharkiv region. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Konashenkov released news on the 28th that the Russian army has destroyed 1114 targets of Ukraine's military infrastructure, including 31 command posts and communication centers. The Russians also destroyed 314 Ukrainian tanks and other armored vehicles, 57 multiple rocket launchers, 121 field guns and mortars, and 274 military special vehicles. In addition, the Russian Air Force has seized air supremacy over the whole of Ukraine.
Judging from the speech of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the results achieved by the Russian army have made far more progress than after the 25th. This also means that Russia has taken a larger offensive, which has obviously put enormous pressure on the Ukrainian army. If the Ukrainian army cannot resist Russia's offensive posture, Putin's offensive against the Ukrainian capital Kiev will become more and more intense. Whether Ukraine can survive the arrival of U.S. military assistance and U.S. troops is clearly unknown. After all, U.S. military aid may not work in Ukraine, and U.S. mercenaries will have little effect without a large-scale entry. (The picture in this article comes from the network)
