The situation in Ukraine has undergone a 180-degree reversal, the United States refuses to provide Ukraine with MiG fighter jets, is unwilling to break out a military conflict with NATO and Russia, and rarely makes concessions and compromises to Russia, just because it does not want to break out a full-scale nuclear war.
In order to put an end to this protracted Russian-Ukrainian conflict as soon as possible, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba met and talked on March 10 under the mediation of Turkish President Erdogan. As for the first high-level dialogue between Russia and Ukraine after the outbreak of the conflict, the outside world did not have any expectations, because the first three rounds of negotiations between the two delegations did not achieve any effective success, so it is difficult to reach a consensus this time. The Russian-Ukrainian foreign ministers' meeting lasted nearly two hours and included an immediate ceasefire and the improvement of the humanitarian relief situation in Mariupol, Kharkiv and Samui. After the talks, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kureba said at a press conference that the two sides did not reach a consensus on the issue of a ceasefire, because the Russian side demanded that Ukraine immediately surrender before stopping the fire, while Ukraine hoped to hold peace talks after the ceasefire, which is also the biggest difference between the two countries.
When the outside world originally thought that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict would continue to develop towards a worsening trend, a statement by the United States directly caused a 180-degree reversal of the situation in Ukraine, and it seemed that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was about to usher in a major ending. US White House spokesman Psaki said at a press conference a few days ago that the US side refused to transfer a batch of MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine according to Poland's proposal because the US side wanted to prevent the outbreak of a world war. Moreover, Psaki also stressed that the supply of Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine by the United States and European countries is fundamentally different from the provision of MiG-29 fighters that can pose a threat to the Russian mainland. Kirby, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Defense, previously said that the transfer of MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine may be seen by the Russian side as a move to intensify the situation, increasing the risk of NATO getting involved in the conflict, and eventually leading to the outbreak of World War III. However, the current storm of handing over fighter jets to Ukraine has become one of the signs of the United States' concession and compromise with Russia.
It is reported that because soon after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian Air and Space Force directly destroyed most of the fighters of the Ukrainian Air Force, causing the Ukrainian Air Force to suffer a devastating blow, and in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian government forces, the United States intends to provide a number of fighters to Ukraine to compete with the Russian Air and Space Forces for air supremacy, and the Russian-made MiG-29 fighters equipped by neighboring Poland and Romania have become the best aid targets. According to the agreement between the United States and Poland, Poland will transfer all 28 MiG-29 fighters equipped by its air force to the Ukrainian Air Force, while the United States will transfer the F-16V fighters originally intended for Taiwan to the Polish Air Force to make up for its losses. In this way, there is nothing wrong with it. But the difference between the U.S. and Poland is who will deliver? In what name to deliver. The United States hopes that Poland will hand it over on its own, implying that it has nothing to do with the United States and NATO, and all the consequences will be borne by Poland itself.
But the Polish side is not a fool, and it will certainly not do such a thing that offends Russia alone. Poland offered to transfer it to Ukraine in the name of the United States or NATO, which was directly rejected by the United States. In response, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Jablonski said that Poland should not be the only country in NATO to take risks, while other member countries do not compensate or share risks with Poland in any way. In other words, you and the United States are not righteous enough, and the risks and dangers must be borne by Poland itself. In response to this batch of MiG-29 fighters, the US Department of Defense gave a clear answer, if fighters from NATO territory enter the war zone, all NATO member countries will be threatened. Because russia has warned NATO that any country that offers an airport to Ukraine could be seen as declaring war on Russia, including certainly fighter jets. NATO has also quickly made clear its position and attitude to Russia, saying that it has no intention of directly clashing with Russia.
As for why the United States and NATO are so cautious and careful in their military assistance to Ukraine, there is only one reason: not to provoke Russia. It is true that provoking the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is the thing that the United States is most willing to see, because then the United States has a reason and an excuse to achieve its three goals: First, to weaken and crush Russia so that it no longer poses a threat to the United States. The second is to strengthen the control of the United States over European countries and strengthen NATO's binding on the European Union. The third is to let European capital flow back to the United States, cooperate with the Fed's interest rate hike plan, and revitalize the US economy. At present, it seems that these three goals of the United States have been achieved, but what the United States did not expect was that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict seems to have deviated from the expected direction of development. As various types of military aid and mercenaries from the United States and European countries entered the Battlefield of Ukraine, Russia's patience with the United States and NATO was decreasing.
In order to show russia's determination and capabilities to the United States and NATO, Putin ordered that in addition to the establishment of no-fly zones and no-navigation zones, strategic nuclear forces should be transformed into special operations, and the Russian Navy, Airspace Force and Strategic Rocket Force were all restored to combat duty, and this series of actions and actions showed that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was very likely to change from a low-intensity conventional military operation to a global nuclear war. The United States does not dare to gamble, nor does Europe dare to gamble, no one wants to provoke an angry polar bear, because it will suffer huge losses, and may even directly perish. After the United States and European countries gave up providing offensive weapons and equipment, it was only a matter of time before the Ukrainian government army was defeated, after all, in the case of full russian firepower, even NATO troops did not dare to plunder its sharp edge, let alone a weak Ukrainian army!
