Three or five minutes a day, an overview of the international situation! Watch over the happy homeland, watch over the peace of China, and watch over world peace. Welcome to the Daily Watch. Today is Sunday, April 24. Today, Watchman will talk to you about the latest news of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
As the war continued and the war escalated, Zelenskiy opened his doors to welcome the "great gifts" from the leaders of various countries, including various weapons and a large amount of financial assistance. Zelensky has already used the battlefield as a "gift field"
Time flies so fast, not a single greeting is played, it seems that everything is still in front of us, the Russian-Ukrainian war has quietly entered the 60th day, and in the blink of an eye, a full two months have passed.
Judging from the current situation, at least from Zelenskiy's various performances, it seems that with the passage of time, he has become more and more "at ease" in the vortex of war.
Why?
Because Zelenskiy knows very well that behind him stands the United States, NATO, the European Union...
As a result, Zelenskiy's changes in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are getting bigger and bigger, and he has issued a tough "warning" to Russia to refuse to negotiate at every turn.
In fact, Zelenskiy's hardness comes from the constant "pumping" of the outside world.
No, the US Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State came to the door today (24th) to "send gifts".
Global Network April 24 news, just today, when asked how to view US Secretary of State Blinken and US Defense Secretary Austin visited Ukraine, Zelenskiy replied bluntly: The planned foreign leaders "should not come empty-handed."
On April 23, local time, in a subway station in Kiev, Zelenskiy held a press conference.
"Why is the arrival of (foreign) leaders important? At this particular press conference, Zelenskiy put it very bluntly: I give you a pragmatic answer – because they should not come empty-handed. We're not waiting for a gift or a cake, we're looking forward to something specific and a specific weapon. ”
Obviously, when the Russian-Ukrainian war entered the second stage, Zelenskiy was opening the door of Ukraine and welcoming foreign leaders to the door to "give gifts"; on the one hand, Ukraine had requirements in this regard, as Zelenskiy said: We should not come empty-handed, which is obviously the Ukrainian side constantly "asking for great gifts" from the visiting countries.
On the other hand, visiting countries also have the idea of "gift-giving". One wants a "gift" and the other wants to give a "gift", and it is a hit, so the "big gift package" including weapons and funds is continuously shipped to Ukraine.
That's exactly what Zelenskiy wanted.
On the same day, Zelenskiy told the media that US Secretary of State Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin will visit Ukraine on the 24th.
The U.S. Secretary of State and Defense Secretary visited Ukraine on April 24 to discuss aid, CNN reported today.
In addition, there is not much relevant information about the two people after they arrived in Ukraine, but what they want to do when they go to Ukraine, in addition to giving light, is the arch fire, so it does not matter whether there are public reports during the visit of Blinken and Austin.
However, with the arrival of Blinken and Austin, it will be the first official visit to Ukraine by a U.S. government official since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
In fact, Zelenskiy has already turned the Russo-Ukrainian war into a political show for profit extraction.
According to Reuters, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Grossi said on the 23rd local time that Ukraine has asked the IAEA to provide a "comprehensive list of equipment" needed to operate Ukrainian nuclear power plants during the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
From this list, the equipment required by Ukraine includes radiation measurement equipment, protective materials, computer-related auxiliary equipment, power supply systems and diesel generators.
On March 15, the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovenia "organized a group" from Poland to Goiv in spite of the war, and the three countries should have "given gifts" before that.
On April 8, a delegation led by European Commission President von der Leyen then arrived in Kiev. Von der Leyen, led by Zelenskiy, also went to the front line of the battlefield to check the evidence of the "so-called large number of civilian casualties", and after some operations, Von der Leyen did not forget to send a "big gift package": promised to speed up the process of Ukraine's accession to the EU as soon as possible, and even completed the application process for Ukraine's accession to the EU "within a few weeks".
This is an unattainable windfall for Zelenskiy.
— Johnson and Zelenskiy stroll through the streets of Kiev on April 9, promising to provide Ukraine with a large number of weapons, including revealing that British special forces are training Ukrainian troops in Poland to operate weapons and equipment.
On April 13, Polish President Duda, Lithuanian President Nauseda, Latvian President Levits and Estonian President Karis "organized a delegation" to Goiv to express their assistance to Ukraine.
In addition, in order to help Ukraine improve its defense capabilities, including Ukraine's post-war reconstruction, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez, Danish Prime Minister Fraser Rixen, European Council President Michel and other leaders have visited Kiev.
Although kiev has many leaders coming and going, kiev has become the "center of Europe", Zelenskiy should be very clear, these countries of the "big gift package" is real gifts, or "sugar-coated shells"? Is it "sending charcoal in the snow", or "taking advantage of the fire" or even "borrowing a knife to kill people"?
Since the Russo-Ukrainian War, who has watched the fire from the other side, handed the knife to the fire, and even taken advantage of the so-called offshore balance? If Zelenskiy does not see these basic problems clearly, but only cares about opening the door to "receive a big gift", then what may be received may make Ukraine more doomed, which will only make Ukraine burn and fall into a more passive situation.
You know, all the shells and weapons will only cause Ukraine to suffer more blows.
The Pentagon has extended an invitation to 40 allies to meet in Germany next week to discuss Ukraine's long-term security needs.
Not only is the number of participants large, but the level of attendees is also relatively high. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby has publicly stated that defense ministers and senior generals from 20 NATO and non-NATO member states have accepted an invitation from U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
It is worth mentioning that Austin's "bypass" of Ukraine before the meeting is obviously engaged in "research", most likely to bring some urgent problems to be solved in Ukraine to the German conference to "study".
But what exactly does the United States care about? The whole world can see it clearly!
According to the latest news of the Swiss "Sunday" on the 24th, Switzerland, which holds a neutral stance, has rejected Germany's hope that it will export Swiss arms to Ukraine for the German "Weasel" infantry combat armored vehicle.
Previously, Ukraine received a batch of "Weasel" infantry combat armored vehicles from Germany, but the ammunition used in such armored vehicles was produced in Switzerland. German officials wanted Switzerland to export ammunition for the Weasel infantry combat armored vehicle, but Switzerland did not want to cause fire to the fire, so it gave a negative answer.
Here, we have to remind that Zelenskiy should not work hard to "receive gifts" to expand the flames of war, but should think about how to reach a Ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine as soon as possible.
For the Ukrainian people, an early ceasefire is the biggest "gift package". I hope that Zelenskiy will not do the opposite, otherwise, all the "big gift packages" in the United States and West will become "big bombs".
