The Russian-Ukrainian melee has escalated, more than 50 countries have "crowdfunded" weapons to aid Ukraine to fight Russia, China has also been implicated, at the critical moment, the commander of the Russian army came to China for an interview, what happened to the commander of the Russian army in China?
As the two-year-long Russia-Ukraine conflict continues, this military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which originally took place, has now evolved into a "melee mode" with the intervention of the United States and Western countries, and the "melee" is still escalating. A few days ago, the Czech Republic launched an initiative to raise funds through a multinational operation with the goal of purchasing ammunition for the Ukrainian army. According to Czech Prime Minister Fiala, 20 countries have already pledged to buy 500,000 artillery shells from outside Europe for Ukraine. These countries include Canada, Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as the Baltic States, among others. Prior to this, according to information from the Russian Ministry of Defense, since the beginning of the special military operation, 54 countries have provided various types of assistance to Ukraine so far, with an amount of 203 billion US dollars. More than 500 spacecraft from the United States and other NATO countries provide intelligence support to Ukraine, including more than 70 military reconnaissance satellites. On the 20th, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass a foreign aid bill worth $95 billion, including more than $60 billion in aid to Ukraine. In addition, the bill includes a provision for the liquidation of seized Russian assets and their transfer to Ukraine. Obviously, this Russia-Ukraine conflict has actually turned into a contest between Russia and the United States and Western countries.
In fact, such a large-scale "crowdfunding" aid to Ukraine by Western countries just illustrates several problems: first, Western countries have economic difficulties and cannot afford or are unwilling to afford this protracted Russian-Ukrainian conflict, otherwise they would not choose to use "crowdfunding"; The production capacity of artillery shells cannot keep up, the EU countries promised to provide Kyiv with 1 million shells, but they simply cannot do it due to insufficient production capacity, and the current verified artillery stocks of all parties, a total of only about 800,000 shells outside Europe can be purchased;
It is worth mentioning that while the United States and Western countries continue to aid Ukraine and fight Russia on the one hand, they strongly oppose other countries to provide help to Russia, so China has also been inexplicably implicated. The most obvious example is that in recent times, US politicians have frequently hyped up the topic of so-called "China's aid to Russia" and seized the opportunity to impose various sanctions on Chinese companies. Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in a meeting with representatives of the European Union and NATO, claimed that China is providing assistance to Russia on a "worrying scale" and providing "tools, materials and technical expertise", especially in the production of optical equipment and rocket fuel, as well as the space sector that "threatens other countries". To this end, Blinken also announced that corresponding measures will be taken against Chinese organizations and companies that strengthen Russia's industrial base. To put it bluntly, it is to take the opportunity to sanction China. Other U.S. officials also told the media that intelligence showed that about 90 percent of Russia's microelectronics came from China last year, which Russia used to make missiles, tanks and planes, as well as improve its satellites and other space technology used in the conflict in Ukraine. The purpose of this successive hype by US politicians is at least twofold: First, it is to prevent China and Russia from carrying out normal cooperation and prevent close contacts between China and Russia; and second, to suppress and contain China under the pretext of suppressing and containing China.
Interestingly, at a time when the United States is trying to prevent normal exchanges between China and Russia, Admiral Moiseev, commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy, personally led a delegation to China to attend the 19th annual meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Forum and hold bilateral meetings and face-to-face talks with representatives of the Chinese Navy Command and naval commands of other countries. The Russian Defense Ministry noted that the visit of the Russian military delegation to China will last until April 25, which will be "another practical step in strengthening and developing cooperation between the Russian Navy and the Chinese Navy." It is understood that from April 21 to 24, the Chinese Navy will host the 19th annual meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Forum in Qingdao, Shandong. After the PLA issued an invitation, the navies (maritime defense departments) of 29 countries, including the United States, Russia, Japan, Australia, France, India, and the United Kingdom, were invited to participate in the meeting.
