At the beginning of the new year, the curtain rises on 2024, but it ushers in a war of global concern. Zelensky's "war letter" against Russia, Putin's tough response, and China's call for a ceasefire are a comprehensive impact on international relations and regional stability. As military bloggers, we have a moment of deep analysis, revealing the deep strife in this crisis.
At the beginning of the new year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in his New Year's Eve speech that he would take revenge on Russia in 2024, unleashing "anger", adding thick ink to Ukraine's firm position. This "war letter" is not empty words, but is accompanied by actual actions. The Ukrainian army launched a rocket attack on the Russian city of Belgorod on December 30, causing heavy casualties. This tough response is not only reflected in rhetoric, but also in actual combat to show resistance to the Russian army.
However, the Russian side has no less firmly expressed its determination not to back down. In his New Year's address, Putin stressed that Russia will never allow any force to split the country and hinder the country's development. He made it clear that Ukraine is not an enemy of Russia, but that the real enemies are those countries that seek to destroy the Russian state system. This statement undoubtedly sends a strong signal and shows Russia's resolute position on the Ukraine issue.
While the rhetoric was fierce, the Russian side also took the initiative on the battlefield. On January 2, the Russian army used missile systems to attack targets in Ukraine, triggering a new round of conflicts. According to the Ukrainian side, about 20 Russian strategic bombers rose into the air and fired missiles at Kyiv and southern and western Ukraine, resulting in dozens of casualties. The attack showed Russia's military prowess and its toughness towards Ukraine.
Ukraine still maintains a tough stance in its plan for the new year, seeking to integrate with the European Union and confront the Russian army through advanced equipment aided by the United States and Western countries, such as "Patriot" anti-aircraft missiles and "Abrams" tanks. This shows that the Ukrainian side is not compromising on this, but is trying to achieve a greater victory with international support.
In the midst of this intensifying conflict, China has once again called for a ceasefire. Geng Shuang, China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said that China is deeply concerned about the Ukraine crisis and called on relevant parties to cease fire and cease fighting at an early date. He pointed out that the conflict will only exacerbate regional tensions and bring more trouble to the global economy. This appeal reflects China's responsible attitude in international affairs, emphasizing the need to resolve crises through diplomatic mediation and avoid escalation of conflicts.
In this crisis, the positions and actions of all parties are creating a mixed picture. Zelensky's "declaration of revenge" and practical actions, Putin's tough response, and China's call for a ceasefire have affected the development of the situation at every step. This is not only a military confrontation, but also a test of international relations and regional stability.
