According to Xinhua News Agency, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense said a few days ago that in view of the intelligence community's belief that providing fighter jets to Ukraine may aggravate the situation, the US side does not support the transfer of warplanes to Ukraine at this stage. It is reported that after NATO recently refused Zelenskiy's request to set up a no-fly zone in Ukraine, the United States and NATO once again rejected Ukraine's request, on the grounds that the West is unwilling to directly intervene in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Prior to this, in order to support Ukraine against Russia, the United States asked Poland to "donate" its miG-29 fleet of miG-29 aircraft in active service to the Polish Air Force to strengthen the Kiev authorities' ability to fight against the Russian army fighting in Ukraine. However, this demand of the United States is definitely a fatal trap for Poland. Because once Poland is trapped, the result may lead to the spread of war in Ukraine to Poland.
This move of the United States can not be described as insidious, you know, now that the Russian military has mastered the air supremacy over the entire territory of Ukraine, any national air force that wants to support the Ukrainian army in combat must face interception from Russian air power. Therefore, the United States, without daring to engage in direct conflict with the Russian army, encouraged Poland to transfer a combat aircraft for the Ukrainian Air Force, and allowed Ukrainian pilots to use Polish air bases to fight the Russian army in Ukrainian airspace. This proposal by the United States is tantamount to wanting Poland to be retaliated against by Russia as a belligerent.
The Polish authorities, faced with the deadly trap set by the United States, were not as foolishly led by the nose by the United States as Ukraine. On the contrary, Poland recently promised to hand over the Soviet-made fighters to Ukraine, but the premise was that the fighters must be deployed at US air bases in Germany and completely controlled by the Americans. In other words, Poland kicked this deadly ball at the feet of the United States: Poland "donated" these fighters to the United States, and as for how the Americans would use them, that was Washington's business, and it had nothing to do with Poland.
I have to admit that the United States' means of pitting Poland are sinister enough, but Poland's means of teasing Biden are also fierce enough. In this way, if the United States will let Ukrainian pilots fly these fighters from Germany and fight in Ukraine, that is the United States and Germany military intervention in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and then what will happen, Poland only needs to move a stool to watch the melon crowd to see the hilarity. So, in the face of such a "cunning" Poland, the Pentagon subsequently issued a statement that it would no longer ask Poland to supply Ukraine with warplanes. Of course, the U.S. plan to provide Poland with F-16 fighter jets was also ruined by Poland's "disobedience."
On the issue of the United States asking Poland to supply warplanes to Ukraine, the United States and Poland finally sat down for coffee unscathed. But for Ukraine, it feels once again naked deception and hurt from the United States. Judging from the above situation, the United States and its NATO allies have not taken Ukraine's life and death to heart at all. In their minds, there will always be only their own interests, and the future fate of Ukraine is not at all within their consideration. Therefore, if Zelenskiy still has a little normal human reason, it should be clear that the fate of Ukraine can only be controlled by the Ukrainians themselves.
As far as the current situation in Russia and Ukraine is concerned, if Zelenskiy continues to listen to the deception of NATO's "reliable allies", not only will Ukraine suffer a more serious humanitarian disaster, but Zelenskiy himself may become a criminal in Ukraine's history and be left behind for thousands of years. Therefore, Zelenskiy, who was bitterly thinking, no longer insisted on his previous fantasies of Western support, but had to face the reality and prepare to "raise his hand and surrender" to Putin.
For Ukraine, in the case of the West's reluctance to intervene militarily in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it continues to fight, and in the end it is Ukraine itself that is unlucky. Therefore, according to CCTV news reports, on the 9th local time, the deputy director of the Ukrainian Presidential Office said that if the relevant parties can provide security guarantees, the Kiev authorities are ready to discuss ukraine's neutral status. Although the Ukrainian side still insists on the posture of "not giving up an inch of territory", Zelenskiy himself said in an interview with the media a few days ago that the Ukrainian side is willing to discuss with the Russian side how the people of Crimea and the Donbass region live and seek a compromise solution.
Although the Kiev authorities remain "tough" on territorial issues, they are not supported by strength, and this "toughness" is at best bluffing. For the Ukrainian government and people, the West has long since abandoned them. Although the weapons and equipment of Western aid to Ukraine continue to be delivered, in the case of disparities in strength, especially without air supremacy, these weapons are at best used by the Kiev authorities and cannot bring about any change in the situation between Russia and Ukraine.
Obviously, although there have been many rounds of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, they have not achieved any significant results, but with the changes in the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine, coupled with the signs of NATO abandoning Ukraine, it is becoming more and more clear to Zelensky that if it continues to fight, it is Ukraine itself that suffers. On the contrary, signing an alliance with Russia, while humiliating for him personally, was the best way to avoid greater harm to Ukraine.
