In the case of the delay in the substantive support of the United States and Western countries, as well as the lack of NATO and the lack of access by the European Union, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy finally found himself deceived, Ukraine waited for half a month, and the four major "changes" sent an important signal, and the situation in Ukraine has been reversed 180 degrees.
As of March 9, Russia has been conducting special military operations in Ukraine for two weeks, and the two sides have been negotiating for three rounds. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which was arched by the United States and the West and forced by Russia to attack, is now changing little by little. The first is that the attitude of the Ukrainian side toward Russia's previous firm stand is changing one after another. For example, on the issue of "joining NATO", on March 6, local time, Alahamiya, a member of the Ukrainian delegation to the Russian-Ukrainian negotiators and chairman of the parliamentary group of the Ukrainian People's Servant Party, said that in the next 5 to 10 years, NATO is not ready to discuss the issue of Ukraine joining the organization, and the Ukrainian side will no longer be committed to submitting an application to join NATO, but will discuss a certain "non-NATO model".
In addition, Ukraine has also begun to relax on "neutral status", and on March 9, local time, the deputy director of the Office of the President of Ukraine said that if security guarantees are provided, the Kiev authorities are ready to discuss the country's neutral status. In addition, at the beginning of the negotiations, the Ukrainian side demanded that the Russian army withdraw from all areas, including Crimea and Donbass, and the attitude now is that "the Ukrainian side can seek a compromise with the Russian side on how to live' for the people of Crimea and the Donbass region."
In addition to the change in Ukraine's attitudes, the EU's attitude towards Ukraine's membership in the group has also changed. Earlier, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy signed an application to join the European Union overnight, when the European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution that did not have a decisive effect, saying that it would "strive to give" Ukraine the status of a candidate. However, only a few days later, on March 6, local time, European Commission President von der Leyen said that there are clear regulations and procedures for Ukraine's accession to the EU that cannot be bypassed, and it cannot be achieved overnight. As for when, she did not have a clear answer. It can be seen that Europe is more of a political stance of "lip service but not reality".
Then there is the change in the conditions of the Russian side, from the "three conditions" proposed by Russian President Putin when he met with French President Macron, and now it has become "four conditions". Previously, Putin proposed "three major conditions" were: Ukraine's "de-militarization, de-Nazirification", Ukraine's guarantee of neutrality and recognition of Russia's sovereignty over Crimea. At present, the conditions of the Russian side are: The Ukrainian side will stop all military operations; the Ukrainian side will enshrine its neutral position in the constitution; recognize crimea as belonging to Russia; and recognize the "independent" status of Donetsk and Luhansk. It is not difficult to see that Russia's demand that Ukraine stop all military operations also shows its strong position. As for the condition of "de-militarization and de-Nazirification" of Ukraine, due to the advancement of Russian military operations, the russian task of attacking military infrastructure in Ukraine is nearing the end, so this is no longer the primary concern of the Russian side.
The last major change is the change in the mentality of Europe, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, so that many European countries have reached a peak of their own insecurity, so that the reaction is fierce. In addition to breaking historical taboos and providing lethal weapons to Ukraine, a party to the conflict, some "neutral countries" have even participated in the launching of sanctions against Russia. What is more, they have committed acts of "hurting the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicting eight hundred", such as imposing sanctions on Russia in the field of energy that is highly dependent on Russia, so that European oil prices have soared and European-Russian relations have been further separated. But to some extent, these actions have fulfilled the wishes of the United States. It is not difficult to see that in this conflict provoked by the arch fire of the United States, Ukraine and Europe have become "victims", the United States has become the final "winner", and Zelenskiy has been "deceived".
