#俄乌就临时停火达成一致 #
On the afternoon of March 3, local time, the Russian and Ukrainian sides finally held the second round of negotiations. Although the negotiations were eventually dispersed and did not achieve the expected results of the Russian and Ukrainian sides, compared with the first round of negotiations, the negotiations have made some progress, at least the Russian and Ukrainian sides have reached an agreement on a temporary ceasefire.
According to reports, after the first round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, although the two sides did not make any breakthroughs, they agreed to continue to hold negotiations, when the Russian side said that the second round of negotiations was expected to be held on March 2.
However, on March 2, after the Russian delegation arrived in Belarus, it was told that the Ukrainian side had requested to postpone the negotiations and was not satisfied with the location of the negotiations.
After communication, the Ukrainian side finally agreed to negotiate with the Russian side on the afternoon of the 3rd local time, and the Russian side said that the negotiation began at 3 p.m. local time on the 3rd.
However, when the Russian delegation once again arrived at the place of negotiations, the Ukrainian delegation did not have any news. It was not until 3 p.m. on the 3rd, the time at which the negotiations had been scheduled to begin, that word came from Ukraine that the delegation had departed for the place of negotiations.
After 2 hours, the Ukrainian delegation finally arrived at the negotiating site, met with the Russian delegation smoothly, and began negotiations. In response to the Ukrainian side's several postponements of the negotiations, Russian officials said that there was reason to believe that the Ukrainian side was deliberately delaying time.
In fact, before the first round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian side also repeatedly asked for the postponement of the negotiations for various reasons, when experts said that the Ukrainian side seemed to be deliberately delaying time to win more support from Western countries.
But the good news is that both negotiations were finally held smoothly, the second round of negotiations finally ended after a difficult 3 hours, and the Russian and Ukrainian sides agreed on a temporary ceasefire and the establishment of humanitarian corridors.
According to the Russian side, in order to ensure the safety of civilians, the Russian and Ukrainian sides agreed to a temporary ceasefire and the establishment of humanitarian corridors so that civilians can safely leave the war zone.
Although the Ukrainian side claims that the negotiations have not achieved the expected results, the two sides have agreed to a temporary ceasefire and are willing to continue negotiations, which means that the situation between Russia and Ukraine has yet to turn around.
However, just after the Russian and Ukrainian sides reached an agreement on a temporary ceasefire, the United States once again announced that the sanctions against Russia were increased, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
Since Russia announced special military operations against Ukraine, the United States has repeatedly announced the increase in sanctions against Russia, and the current U.S. sanctions against Russia have spread to sports, games, music and other fields.
On March 3, local time, the United States once again announced sanctions against eight Russians and their families who are closely related to President Putin, including freezing their assets in the United States and cutting off ties with the US financial system.
In addition, the White House also announced that the U.S. Treasury Department will sanction 7 Russian entities and 26 individuals. On the same day, the U.S. State Department announced sanctions against 19 Russian oligarchs and their families, restricting their travel to the United States.
In addition, the EU has also announced that it will consider abolishing the trade most-favored-nation treatment for Russia. Once traded most-favored-nation status, the EU will charge tariffs on Russian goods higher than other WTO members, which is undoubtedly another blow to the Russian economy.
In this regard, experts analyzed that the United States and the European Union chose to continuously strengthen sanctions against Russia at such a sensitive time, which is really sinister.
As long as the United States and its allies continue to sanction Russia, Ukraine will think that the West is still supporting them, and will naturally be more arrogant in negotiations with Russia.
Moreover, Ukraine has repeatedly postponed the negotiation time, which is also believed by experts to be deliberately delaying time in order to gain more pressure from Western countries on Russia.
Russia's economy is doomed to be unable to sustain a war that will take too long, but Ukraine wants to be able to hold Russia along, and that's what the United States wants.
As long as Russia and Ukraine are still at war, the US military-industrial complex can profit from it, and European capital will continue to flow back to the United States, allowing the United States to gradually return to its position as a global hegemon.
However, at present, many countries have seen the true face of the United States and are unwilling to join the United States. If the United States continues to make war money from the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it will only be condemned by more countries. It is hoped that the United States can earnestly consider the interests of all mankind and proceed from reality to promote the settlement of disputes between Russia and Ukraine through peaceful means, rather than inciting the flames all the time, otherwise it will inevitably suffer its own consequences.
