Ever since there were human beings on earth, you have been hitting me and I hitting you. In fact, this is the case in the animal world, let alone a high-order group such as humans. Therefore, the author once said that war itself is a means to solve problems, which may be too cruel in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the minds of those in power, it may just be a "chess move". The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been going on for 20 days, and the four negotiations have not achieved valuable progress.
According to reports, although the specific conditions proposed by Russia have not been made public, they are likely to be the following six. First: Ukraine remains permanently neutral and renounces joining NATO. Second: Make Russian one of the official languages of Ukraine. Third: recognition of Crimea as Russian territory. Fourth: recognition of the independence of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Fifth: Ukraine is completely de-Nazified. Sixth: De-militarize Ukraine, destroy offensive weapons and disband offensive forces. If you think about it, Japan and Germany ended World War II at this cost.
Notably, Russia demanded that five of these articles must be written into Ukraine's constitution or the "special military operations" would not be terminated. The strength of the fighting nation is well known, but why does Russia not give in to Ukraine? What are the benefits of "convincing" Ukraine to Russia? First of all, the first point: to solve the security problems west of Russia and indirectly turn Ukraine into a buffer zone between Russia and Western Europe, which is also the original intention of Russia to launch military operations.
Second point: Increase your impact. The reason why Russia has been very depressed in the past few years, and even has to fight with both fists and many hands, is because Russia has not won a big victory. If they have been suppressed by the United States, the mentality of European countries will be shaken, and they will even dare to "ride on the neck of Russia.". This is also the reason why Russia holds most of Europe's energy, but it is difficult to convince the public. If Ukraine is completely "subdued", this will go a long way toward rebuilding Russia's prestige in Europe.
Of course, Russia's idea is good, and whether it can be realized in the end is another matter, after all, the mentality of Ukraine has not changed now, and there is still hope for the West. If the current situation continues, there will inevitably be "large-scale bloodshed" between Russia and Ukraine, which we do not want to see. Hopefully, Ukraine will figure out that if the fundamental problems with Russia cannot be resolved, even if the war is won with the help of the West, there will always be a time bomb around it.
