The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has lasted for 103 days, and in addition to the warring parties, the major forces have also actively or passively intervened in this conflict.
If you want to describe the current situation in one sentence, there may be no more appropriate than "some people are happy and some are sad".
The Joy is, of course, the United States.
On the 7th, the US Department of Justice ordered the seizure of two luxury planes of Russian billionaire Abramovich on the grounds of "suspected violations of the latest US export control measures".
According to court documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice, the two planes are a custom-built Boeing 787 Dreamliner worth $350 million (about 2.33 billion yuan) and a $60 million (about 400 million yuan) Gulfstream 650 airliner.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States issued new regulations in February: any aircraft manufactured in the United States or manufactured with American parts and technology must apply for relevant permits before flying to Russia, otherwise it is considered a violation of regulations.
The two planes owned by Abramovich were both made in the United States.
According to the U.S. side, Abramović's Gulfstream 650 flew from Istanbul to Moscow on March 12 and 15, and boeing 787 aircraft also flew from Dubai to Moscow on March 4, and these flights were not declared to Washington.
In addition to seizing two planes, the U.S. Justice Department is expected to issue a hefty fine of up to $1 million (about 6.6 million yuan) to Abramovich. As for the deadline for seizure, the United States also did not disclose.
What about the sacrosanctity of good private property? The new U.S. rules are clearly aimed at Russia — and in the face of economic globalization, there is hardly a country that does not require a declaration to the United States.
Abramovich, 55, is the emerging oligarchy after Russia's seven largest oligarchs, and last year he was ranked 142nd on the Forbes List of the World's Richest With a fortune of $14.5 billion.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Abramovich has suffered huge property losses since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
In early March, Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government, his assets in britain were frozen, and he himself was banned from entering the united kingdom. In the end, Abramovich was forced to sell his Own Premier League giants Chelsea Club.
The consortium that took over Chelsea was led by the Americans.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has brought huge losses to both warring sides and worsened the security situation in the surrounding areas and even in Europe as a whole, but only the United States has extracted a lot of benefits from it.
By peddling arms to Ukraine, U.S. arms dealers made a lot of money. Now, Washington has illegally seized the private property of Russian citizens on the basis of the recently enacted new regulations against Russia.
Speaking of ugly points, what is the difference between this and Ming Snatch?
After talking about the United States, let's talk about the most worried Ukraine.
Under the strong offensive of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army was gradually defeated in the Eastern Part of Ukraine. In Luhansk, there are only two cities currently under Ukrainian control, and the city of Severodonitesk is already in jeopardy.
Against this backdrop, Zelenskiy had to admit that the situation had turned against Ukraine.
At least in the last 2 aspects.
On January and 7, Zelenskiy said in an interview with the media that the "enthusiasm" of the countries concerned is weakening, and some of them are becoming more and more far-sighted about the conflict.
Zelenskiy also believes that some national leaders may pressure Kiev to reach an outcome that is good for Russia but bad for Ukraine.
Previously, Kissinger had called for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine over the next two months and exhorted Ukraine to become a neutral country rather than a "Border of Europe."
Zelenskiy understood the proposal as a demand for Ukraine to "divide the land and seek peace" and publicly attacked Kissinger. But when he calmed down, he found that Kissinger's proposal was probably the "best choice" for Ukraine now.
On February 7, Zelenskiy admitted that about 2500 Ukrainian defenders had been captured by Russians at the Azov Steel Works, and that Kiev was currently organizing rescues, including prisoner exchange negotiations with the Russians.
In fact, as early as May 20, the Russian Defense Ministry said that about 2,400 defenders of the Azov steel plant surrendered, but Ukrainian officials and media claimed that the defenders had been safely evacuated.
That is to say, Zelenskiy's latest statement is tantamount to "punching himself in the face" and admitting that he was lying before.
More importantly, if the timeline is lengthened, it is not difficult to find that Zelenskiy recently began to actively announce the losses of the Ukrainian army.
On the 31st of last month, Zelenskiy revealed that about 60-100 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the battle every day, and about 500 others were wounded.
You know, before Zelenskiy rarely announced the casualties of the Ukrainian army, and even if it was announced, it was also compared with the Russian casualties.
And when Zelenskiy began to admit that "the situation is difficult", it shows that the situation has been very unfavorable to Ukraine.
In short, peace is the premise of all development, once the modern war breaks out, the two warring sides cannot become the real winners, I hope that Russia and Ukraine will return to the negotiating table as soon as possible, and shaking hands and making peace is the only way to resolve the dispute.
