The Russia-Ukraine conflict continues until now, and the focus is only on when it will end. Then, at the beginning of the new year, Putin made a speech on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, expressing his hope that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict could be ended as soon as possible, but the Russian side would not give up its position. Putin made it clear that Ukraine itself is not Russia's enemy, and those who want to completely destroy Russia and divide Russia are Russia's real enemies. But I personally believe that although Putin knows who is behind this, Russia must face a reality: this war must continue, because Russia cannot influence the thoughts of Ukrainian leaders.
A few days ago, Ukraine launched several rounds of attacks on the Crimean peninsula, using rocket artillery, drones and even cruise missiles in turn. Although the Russian Ministry of Defense intercepted them, some missiles still fell into the territory of Crimea, causing great distress to the lives of local residents. In addition, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky bluntly stated that the Crimean bridge would be destroyed. In this way, even if Russia does not make a dead hand and leaves room for peace talks between the two sides, Zelensky is ready to block this back road with his own hands.
To be honest, Russia is not without the ability to bulldoze Ukraine. Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been fought so far, many analysts believe that the Russian army has behaved extremely strained in this conflict, and has not shown the demeanor of a "fighting nation" at all, nor has it played the strength of the world's second military power. Personally, I think that most of the people who say this do not distinguish the difference between war and special military operations. Comparing the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, we can understand what a "special military operation" is.
Continuing with what we said earlier, there is no doubt that Russia is actually capable of bulldozing Ukraine. A while ago, Putin personally spoke, and under an order, missiles were overwhelmingly smashed into Ukraine, and even Ukraine said that it had been subjected to the "largest bombardment" since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. So, it's hard to say whether these Russian shells woke up Ukraine, but to some extent, the Russian army "woke up" Lithuania.
A few days ago, Lithuanian Prime Minister Shimonit said in an interview that the previous judgments and predictions of the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield were too optimistic and idealistic, and this idea was obviously wrong. She said that in the past two years, the countries of the Western camp have believed that Ukraine is capable of defending Western democracy and values, and for this reason it has received the support of the West. It's just that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been fought so far, and Ukraine has not defeated Russia. To this end, Shimonit said that in the new year, the situation of the Ukrainian army will not be optimistic. In fact, Himonite's concerns are not unfounded.
First of all, the EU's 50 billion euro aid plan for Ukraine has been temporarily shelved, and the risk of the Ukrainian government's bankruptcy in March this year has further increased. Second, the U.S. government has directly stated that it has no money to continue to provide assistance. Finally, in terms of military assistance, the countries of the Western bloc have not stopped, but have slowed down. In this way, the countries of the Western camp are also taking one step at a time, if the Ukrainian counteroffensive is expected, they will increase aid, and on the contrary, they will reduce aid and reduce losses.
At the moment, Lithuania has been "woken up" by Russia, saying that it was too optimistic before. In this way, it may be possible that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will see the dawn of a truce in March......
