U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin recently said that in view of the fact that the attack on the Russian refinery is likely to push up global oil prices, it is recommended that the Ukrainian side should attack military targets. At the annual military budget hearing, Austin argued that Kyiv's series of drone attacks on Russia's oil infrastructure would have a ripple effect in terms of the global energy situation. Against this background, it would be better for Ukraine to strike at tactics and operational targets that can directly affect the current battle. The implication is that the US side hopes that Ukraine will stop attacking oil refineries and storage facilities in several regions of Russia. It is reported that US President Joe Biden also asked Zelensky to control his behavior, but Zelensky did not care about this, and there was no sign of willingness to give in to Washington on this issue.
Now, the United States is once again asking Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, will Zelensky listen? Don't look at the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but in fact, the relationship between the United States and Ukraine has become very delicate. To be precise, since the $60 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine was shelved by Congress, relations between the two countries have not been so good. Although President Biden assured President Zelensky that the United States would continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine, the 60 billion military aid could not be approved at all without Congress relenting. Therefore, Zelensky also used all his strength.
First, the sad card, claiming that without American assistance, Ukraine would have lost the war. Then there is the Radical Law, which openly states that without American assistance, Ukraine will have to retreat. In this way, pressure is put on the United States, hoping to get a new round of military assistance from the United States. In the end, he even said that he could make a loan to the United States. It is reported that Kiev agrees with any form of support from Washington, even in the form of loans. In any case, the U.S. Congress was unable to approve the loan. At this point, Zelensky was so angry that he directly tore his face, changed from his previous plea to accusation, and no longer obeyed the United States.
Now the United States has warned Zelensky to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries, which will not bother at all. From Zelensky's point of view, it is easy to understand: There is not even a new round of military aid, so why should he listen to you? Obviously, with Zelensky's latest attitude, he is going to fly solo. Originally, the United States and Ukraine were able to get so close because of interests, and the United States wanted to use Ukraine to deal with Russia, but in the final analysis, even if Ukraine is just a "chess piece", at least it has the support of the United States on the battlefield. Now that he has torn his face with the United States, and the war is not over yet, does Zelensky know it, or has he thought about it, and such an attitude can only accelerate his downfall? To be able to fight Russia to this day, mainly relying on the support of the United States, without the United States, relying on its own production of drones, the country will not be able to toss at all. I advise Zelensky, don't die.
