The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has come to the 94th day, at present, the Russian army is attacking north Donetsk and other important towns, for the Ukrainian army, the situation is indeed not optimistic. On the 27th, Zelenskiy said that the war situation in Donbass was extremely difficult, and the Russian army was concentrating its firepower in Donbass. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the Russian military was making slow, gradual but obvious progress and that Britain must provide more support for Ukraine.
Even the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense is "pinching a cold sweat" for the Ukrainian troops deployed in Luhansk. Ukraine revealed that the Russian army has invaded Severodonitesk, in order not to be surrounded, the Ukrainian army may give up the last position in Luhansk, the Russian army has the advantage, the Ukrainian army is doing its best to fight the Russian army.
From the current point of view, under the situation that the Russian army controls the air power and the Ukrainian army can only be forced to hold the position, it is actually not difficult for the Russian army to encircle Severodnetsk and Slavyansk. What Putin wants is to defeat the Ukrainian army as much as possible before the Ukrainian army skillfully uses NATO weapons and US and European equipment to reach the front line in Donbass, and at the same time take more land.
The situation has changed again, Ukraine is calling for help all over the world, and the United States has at least 5 unexpected ones.
Unexpectedly, Mariupol actually appeared in the Mass Graves of the Ukrainian Army. Donetsk Health Ministry spokesman Dmitry said that in Mariupol they found a mass grave of Ukrainian soldiers, almost every body with name, rank and title, which was controlled by the Ukrainian army at that time.
The bodies of all the Ukrainian soldiers were placed in the body bags, and as for why these Ukrainian soldiers were killed, it is still unknown for the time being, which may be related to the fact that the Ukrainian army fled the battlefield in a hurry and did not have time to take away the bodies of comrades-in-arms.
During this time, it was exposed that "there were a large number of corpses on the battlefield" were basically Ukraine and Western countries, and the United States, Britain, and Ukraine would often condemn the Russian army for "indiscriminately killing innocents and torturing And killing Ukrainian soldiers and civilians." This time, however, the situation was different, because it was the Ukrainian army that controlled Mariupol at that time.
As of now, Kiev has not expressed its position on this matter, and the United States, Britain and the European Union have invariably chosen silence.
Unexpectedly, until now, Zelenskiy actually wanted to make peace. After the Russian army changed tactics, the situation of the Donbass Ukrainian army became more precarious, and the Russian army had deployed a large number of artillery, fighters and soldiers to Luhansk, and the firepower was not comparable to that of the Ukrainian army.
In the words of Ukrainian Foreign Minister Gureba, "the situation is very bad".
The problem is that no matter how fierce the war is and how unfavorable the situation is for Ukraine, Kiev should know that until the strategic objectives are achieved, Putin will never miss the opportunity to let the Ukrainian army leave the battlefield unharmed, let alone easily cease the war.
Zelenskiy had a different view.
On the 27th, Zelenskiy said that Ukraine is not eager to talk to Putin, but at the moment, Ukraine has to face the reality, which is a necessary condition for ending the war.
Previously, Zelenskiy has said many times that it is time to hold a meeting between the President of Russia and Ukraine, Kiev is willing to negotiate with Putin on an "armistice", and the Crimean issue can be temporarily ignored.
On the 27th, Putin spokesman Peskov said that Zelenskiy hinted that he wanted to hold direct peace talks with Putin, which ran counter to Kiev's decision to freeze negotiations, Ukraine's position contradicted itself, and Moscow could not understand Zelenskiy's intentions.
Peskov stressed that Russia does not believe that Ukraine is willing to negotiate peace.
In short, Zelenskiy, who called for help all over the world and did not forget to call for Putin to negotiate peace, touched a nose of ash in Russia, because Putin believed that Zelenskiy had no sincerity in negotiations.
Whenever the Russian army wins and the Ukrainian army is overwhelmed, such as thousands of Ukrainian troops trapped in the Azov steel plant, Zelenskiy will call putin to meet and make vague statements on issues such as "whether Ukraine seeks to join NATO" and "who Crimea belongs to". When the Ukrainian army stands firm and the Russian army is not enough, Zelenskiy will become full of confidence, and then emphasize that "Ukrainian territory cannot be lost" and "the Ukrainian army will retake Donbass and Crimea".
Today, unlike in the past, in the face of indiscriminate bombardment by the Russian army, the Ukrainian army on the front line is in urgent need of supplies, weapons and support from Kiev. At this juncture, Zelenskiy's explicit and secret appeal to Putin will inevitably affect the morale of the Ukrainian army, even if Zelenskiy did so to delay time.
When the two armies are opposed, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat, weapons and equipment, logistics supplies, allied support, and tactics are important, but the most important thing is the soldier's will to fight. For Ukraine, no matter how bad the situation is, Zelenskiy should boost the morale and morale of the army, not "increase the morale of the Russian army and destroy the prestige of the Ukrainian army."
From this point of view, the disparate Zelenskiy is sometimes very unreliable, and it is no wonder that the Commander of the Ukrainian Army will ridicule Ukraine for "seeing death and not saving".
Unexpectedly, former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama spoke up for Putin. On the 27th, Yukio Hatoyama sent an article satirizing Kishida Fumio and the United States, and Yukio Hatoyama said that when the Heads of State of Japan and the United States met, Kishida Fumio did not oppose US military aid to Ukraine, which will lead to an escalation of the regional situation.
Hatoyama Yukio denounced the United States, saying that if the United States had not continued to send weapons to Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine might have ceased fire a long time ago, and the United States said that it would support Ukraine, but in fact it was to grab benefits for THE US arms dealers.
Earlier, Abe also said that from Putin's point of view, Russia has no territorial ambitions and sends troops to Ukraine only to better defend Russia and ensure Russia's security. Abe ridiculed the United States at the time, saying that the United States had promised not to expand NATO eastward, but finally deployed THAAD in Poland.
As former Prime Ministers of Japan, Abe and Yukio Hatoyama have satirized the United States for "inconsistencies," which is indeed incredible. You know, Japan is busy improving its national defense strength, and it has not cooperated with the United States and Europe to condemn and sanction Russia, and has also released a tough signal to Putin that "Japan will retake the four northern islands sooner or later".
Abe and Yukio Hatoyama satirized the U.S. stance, which is equivalent to speaking up for Putin, and at the same time confirms that "hegemonism is unpopular."
For the United States, this is a reminder and an equally ironic one.
Unexpectedly, Iran actually retaliated with a tit-for-tat. On the 27th, Iran said that it had seized 2 Greek oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, and on the same day, Iran also summoned the Swiss ambassador to Iran to express strong protest against the "piracy" of the United States seizing Iranian oil.
It turned out that Greece had seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker on the grounds of "EU sanctions against Russia" and intended to transport 115,000 tons of oil from the tanker to the United States.
Greece said the "seizure of Iranian oil" was a U.S. demand.
In broad daylight, directing Greece to seize oil tankers from other countries, not to mention, but also to pocket 115,000 tons of oil, can only say that the United States is very American, as always, unreasonable.
The US move is equivalent to giving Iran a downward spiral, how can Iran not be angry?
Unsurprisingly, the seizure of the Greek tanker is just the beginning of Iran's expression of discontent, and if the United States and Greece refuse to budge, Iran is likely to continue to retaliate with tit-for-tat and launch new retaliation against Greece and the United States.
According to the layout of the United States, as long as enough benefits are given to Iran, Iran will sign a new Iranian nuclear agreement and keep a distance from Russia, after all, Russia and Iran are competitors in exporting oil.
Surprisingly, Iran not only did not bow to the United States, but also chose to join hands with Russia to "de-dollarize". On the 27th, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak said that Russia and Iran have reached an agreement on the use of their own currency for trade settlement, and then Russia and Iran will bypass the US dollar and use rupee-rials to settle.
Iran has also promised Russia that even if it gets rid of U.S. sanctions, Iran will not compete with Russia for oil markets in the future.
It is clear that the United States has underestimated the friendship between Iran and Russia.
Unexpectedly, there was a quarrel within the EU. On the question of "how to sanction Russia", Western European countries such as France and Germany have completely different views from Eastern European countries such as Poland. Germany, Italy, and Austria chose to buy Russian gas in rubles, but Finland and Poland were "cut off" by Russia.
Ukraine and Poland ridiculed Germany for "fearing" Russia, but Germany and Hungary were unmoved, and Hungary did not forget to condemn the EU for "interference in Hungary's internal affairs." Orbán even said that Hungary's life is not good because Hungary is a member of the European Union.
When the EU is infighting, it is the best time for Russia to break down and disintegrate the EU one by one.
Through the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the countries of the world have seen more clearly the true face of the United States "man-made fish, I am a knife trick", and all forces, including Russia, India, Turkey, and Iran, are actively "de-dollarization".
No one in this world can continue hegemony forever, such as Great Britain, which once swept the world, and the United States, which is now invincible, is no exception. In the final analysis, in the long river of human history, only the United States, which is hundreds of years old, is just a passing cloud.
