Start today's topic of the Russian-Ukrainian (Kazakh-Israeli) war:
There was a flaw in yesterday's article, some netizens said in the background that Russia was withdrawing troops from Armenia, not from Azerbaijan.
I personally also think that it should be from Armenia, when Russia sided with Armenia when the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,
Therefore, it is normal to send troops to Armenia, Armenia has had a very stiff relationship with Russia during this time, and this withdrawal should be from Armenia.
Thank you for this netizen.
Take a look at the Russian-Ukrainian war:
Let's take a look at the battlefield first:
The situation on the battlefield for Ukraine is becoming more and more severe, and some time ago there was news that 1 million shells from the Czech Republic arrived in Ukraine, has it not yet come?
In the Avdiivka theater of operations, the Russian army advanced along the railway towards the outskirts of Ocheretyne, bypassing Novobakhmutivka and launching an offensive on Novokalynove, where Russian infantry has now arrived.
In the Zaporizhzhia theater of operations, over the past 24 hours, the Russian army has continued its offensive towards Robertini, and the gray zone has further expanded.
Due to the lack of advanced anti-aircraft firepower, the place has been bombed into rubble by Russia.
Someone in Russia has a saying, if you don't get it, you ruin it, and it seems that the Russian army faithfully carried out this instruction.
But it was the homes of the Ukrainian people that were bombed, and Ukraine will definitely fight to the death.
Let's take a look at the other news.
Israel began to launch retaliation against Iran.
According to the latest reports in the Lebanese media on April 19, there is information that Iranian air defense forces intercepted about five targets over Isfahan, and the explosion occurred over Isfahan, without any explosions on the ground.
According to US media reports, the Israeli army launched military strikes against seven targets in Iran. Iranian state television reported a powerful explosion near the Iranian capital, Tehran.
The location of the Israeli attack was the location of Iran's nuclear facilities.
Located 450 kilometers south of Tehran, Isfahan is an important research center for nuclear technology in Iran and currently operates a miniature neutron source reactor.
In terms of military aid:
Belgian Prime Minister Alexandre de Kruot announced yesterday that the first F-16 fighter jets will be delivered to Ukraine by this summer (6~8 months), "which will be important because of the air defense capabilities of the F-16".
Once the Ukrainian F-16 fighter is equipped with AIM-120 medium-range interceptor missiles to occupy the battlefield early warning, its attack range can reach 70 kilometers, coupled with the advantages of perception, firepower and speed, it can perfectly counter the Russian bombers and their escort fighters carrying FAB gliding bombs.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that Germany will provide Ukraine with one Patriot system, in addition, Ukraine may receive another six Patriot systems from other partners;
Denmark has decided to buy $28.5 million worth of weapons from Ukrainian manufacturers for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Finally, let's talk about the vote on the U.S. aid bill for Ukraine on April 20.
Previously, some bloggers pointed out that Johnson's submission of the aid bill to Ukraine would not be until September at the earliest, but now it has been brought forward to April all of a sudden, which is really good news.
Such a change can only show that Johnson is really under pressure and can't stand it.
Although Trump has been holding him down behind him, he is also under pressure from the Democratic Party, and after months of delay, he finally realizes that he can't drag it out any longer.
So, what is the probability of passing? This should be what all netizens who follow the Russian-Ukrainian war want to know.
To be honest, I can't judge, but we can see from some of Johnson's words that he is really ready to submit the aid bill to Ukraine without further delay.
According to reports, on the evening of April 17, local time, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Johnson announced that he had decided to vote on the aid bill for Ukraine in the House of Representatives this Saturday night (April 21 morning, Beijing time)!
He said:
I think it's crucial to provide lethal weapons assistance to Ukraine right now.
If "that man" is left alone, he will continue to run amok in Europe.
I'd rather send bullets to Ukraine than send American children to war.
He stressed: We cannot play politics on this matter. He also said: I am willing to take personal risks for this.
When I saw this, I suddenly felt a burst of warmth, something was rolling in my eyes, and I wanted to cry.
Johnson, Johnson, if you made such a decision and said such a thing earlier, would you still be scolded? Will you still be criticized?
You're finally back on track!
As soon as these words came out, it meant that he was going to break with Trump, and I had a bad feeling that something might happen to him.
But even though he knew there would be risks, he gave it away.
This is completely different from Trump.
I have always insisted that Trump is not willing to help Ukraine.
Recently, some media have picked up more grievances between Trump and Zelensky.
Reports suggest that Trump's antipathy to Ukraine lies in:
It was a phone call with Zelensky that led to Trump's first impeachment in December 2019, after Trump was accused of trying to influence the 2020 election through Ukrainian leaders investigating incumbent President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Trump's antipathy to Ukraine also stems from his belief that it was Ukraine, not Russia, that interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and that Russia was framed.
Ukrainian-American businessman Lev Parnas, who works as a broker in Ukraine for Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, said: "Trump and those around him believe that Ukraine is the root cause of all of Trump's troubles. ”
Since Ukraine did not open an investigation as Trump asked after his phone call with Zelensky, Trump hates Zelensky very much, and Zelensky knows it," Parnas said.
"If Trump loses the U.S. presidential election, Ukraine will continue to receive all the money and weapons it needs, and Russia will eventually be finished," Parnas said.
"But if Trump wins, things will be very bad," he added.
Seeing these ditches and bumps, we will understand that Trump will not help Ukraine in any way.
Fortunately, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Johnson finally has his own decision, and it is a wise decision.
But the decision would obviously make Trump feel that he had betrayed the Republican Party, and those within the Republican Party would see him as a traitor.
Some media reported that as soon as his words fell, Sichuan fans immediately declared him a "traitor, a traitor, and a squid" and called for his immediate extermination. -- The so-called "elimination" means that he is ready to remove him from the post of Speaker of the House of Representatives.
But apparently Johnson has no fear.
This reminds me of another figure, French President Emmanuel Macron.
I think Macron didn't support Ukraine very much at the beginning, and he was not optimistic about Ukraine, but then it was Macron who changed the most.
And then so did Johnson.
After Johnson's statement, Biden immediately stated,
As soon as the bill is passed, he will sign it and send a message to the world through quick action:
We stand with our friends, and we will not let Iran or Russia get their way.
The infighting in the United States has come to this day, and Johnson, a key figure, has finally straightened his waist and no longer looks at Trump's face.
Behind this is the credit of the anger and shouts of the righteous people.
Behind this is the result of pressure from all righteous people who are concerned about Ukraine.
If there is no anger and shouting, and if there is no external force to push it, I am afraid that the United States will still be a pool of stagnant water.
Johnson pretended to be asleep again.
Finally, share the feelings of a big V:
Although in this era, there are still dark nights and dirty times, although we see more practical interests, and unbearable material desires, personal power desires,
Although there is still too much short-sightedness and too much ignorance in the world,
But in this era, in this world, there is still anger!
This is a kind of silent cry about justice and rules,
Every silent cry has value,
When the cries converge into a voice, justice will return to the world.
This is the way to help,
Come on, Ukraine,
Come on, all peace-loving,
Resist aggression and look forward to the voice of justice!
