When the Soviet Union first collapsed, Ukraine inherited many Soviet weapons and was a veritable military power in the world, second only to the United States and Russia. But it is precisely such a military power that has been fooled by the US imperialists and Western countries to abolish its martial arts, resulting in a growing gap with Russia's military strength. But why does such a weak Ukraine dare to confront Russia, and is ukraine not afraid of Russia's terrible military prowess?
Ukraine feels that the EU and NATO are backers
As we all know, the current Ukrainian government came to power by a coup d'état, which is pro-American and pro-Western, while the former pro-Russian president is still taking refuge in Russia. Recently, it has also been reported that Russia wants to support the former president to come to power, which both Ukraine and Russia have denied. However, it can be seen that Russia wants Ukraine to change its pro-US and anti-Russian political position very urgently.
Why does Ukraine dare to confront Russia directly? Because Ukraine has always regarded the European Union and NATO as its staunch backers, Russia has no strength to confront it, and NATO has expanded eastward five times in history, pulling many countries in the former Soviet camp into NATO. Comedian Zelenskiy made joining the European Union and NATO his goal of governing, and tried to gain recognition from the European Union and NATO through various methods. The comedians have played a pioneering role in the conflict with Russia, helping the European Union and NATO contain Russia's influence in the international community by constantly provoking Russia.
There is great resistance to Ukraine's accession to the EU
Ukraine has applied for membership in the European Union many times, but has not received substantial results. The reason is that Ukraine has historically had close relations with Russia, and there are still a large number of pro-Russian organizations and individuals in the eastern region of Ukraine, resulting in a very slow process of Ukraine's accession to the European Union. Earlier, European Commission President von der Leyen said that the EU wants Ukraine to join, but Ukraine's accession to the EU "needs a process". That is to say, although the EU has also actively allowed Ukraine to join, it has not made any substantive moves, and it wants Ukraine to get more "votes" before joining. Russia has strongly resisted Ukraine's accession, as it will have a significant impact on Russia's security, severely compressing Russia's living space, and Russia's address is also a pressure for the EU. And the EU is also skeptical about whether Ukraine's institutions and economy meet EU requirements, which means that the EU is "abandoning" Ukraine.
The war will push Ukraine to join the European Union faster
With the intensification of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Western countries began to intervene more in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the European Union expressed its hope to admit Ukraine as soon as possible, and the various "conditions and demands" previously put forward became less important. Comedian Zelenskiy again signed the application for eu-membership on Feb. 28, which means that Ukraine will soon join the EU. This will have a very big impact on the subsequent Russian-Ukrainian conflict, especially the EU's assistance to Ukraine, which will bring more convenient conditions, and Russia will spend more efforts to gain the initiative in the war. In the face of the tightening of the Western countries, Russia has become intolerable, first announcing that the strategic deterrent has entered a state of war readiness, secondly launching a new round of attacks on several Ukrainian cities, and third, announcing the withdrawal of overseas Chinese from Europe. The hardline Putin is responding to the West with practical actions
