In February, France's Macron said that he would not rule out the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine, and Russia pointed out at that time that there were traces of French troops in Ukraine. Later, in early April, the US media quoted senior US officials as saying that Macron had told his allies that they would send their own people, and that they would fight against the Russian army alone and not affect the United States and other allies.
So far, it has not been said how many people France has sent, but the Russian side has counted about 1,500 people. And just recently, Stephen Bryan, a senior US official and a member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, blew himself up, saying that a series of NATO countries such as France, Poland, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Finland have actually sent people to Ukraine, and they are not under the banner of mercenaries, but serious soldiers who really wear their own military badges.
The NATO Secretary General was also asked about this, but Stoltenberg was vague, saying that only some uniformed people in the embassy made suggestions, not combatants, and so on. The implication is that we will not go to the battlefield, but we will do something in the rear, which is called advice. For example, the 18th Airborne Army of the US Army recently went to Romania and was ready to make suggestions to Ukraine.
They have teamed up with some technology companies in Silicon Valley to create a special artificial intelligence combat system, and based on algorithms, they can predict the movements of the Russian army, such as when they like to attack, where they will come from, and where the missiles may be deployed. In order to make good suggestions, they also called in British and Ukrainian military personnel, wanting to move these new tactical tactics and equipment to the Russian-Ukrainian front line to test the results for them. As for when these people will go to the battlefield themselves, they may have to wait for the new US president to confirm who it is, and if Biden steps down, it is very likely that the new president will make changes in the decision-making of the Ukrainian side.
And here it is still experimenting, and over there Russia has already practiced the truth and has begun to change its style of play. The two-pronged approach, on the one hand, bombarded various important energy facilities in Ukraine, such as thermal power plants and natural gas lines, which forced Ukraine to limit electricity and import electricity from EU countries. On the other hand, a more intensive attack was launched against the railway transportation facilities of Ukraine. On the 26th, the Russian army issued a statement saying that it had hit a train in Udachne, Donetsk Oblast, which was full of weapons and military equipment provided by the West. Moreover, Balakliya in Kharkiv Oblast did not fall behind, and also fought equipment and troops. Cutting off backup, the Ukrainian army is already in a predicament of ammunition shortage, and what the Russian army is doing now is to make it impossible for Western aid to reach the front line, aggravating the difficulties of the Ukrainian army.
Until death, the possibility of reconciliation between Russia and Ukraine is very small, after all, even if Ukraine admits defeat, the United States and the West will not be willing. According to the German media "Die Welt" on April 26, they obtained a 17-page document, which showed that Russia and Ukraine had drawn up a similar peace solution a few weeks after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At that time, it was Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who took the lead in getting the two sides to sit down, and Russia wanted Ukraine to be "permanently neutral" and avoid holding military exercises with the participation of other countries and not participating in any military conflict.
In turn, the Russian side assured that it would not attack the Ukrainian side, and could even ask the five permanent members of the United Nations to provide security guarantees to Ukraine. Of course, the problems of the Crimea and the port of Sevastopol were put on hold, and the matter at hand was resolved first. At that time, a representative of the Ukrainian side said that this was the best agreement that could be reached.
But it is clear that the agreement was not signed, and the two sides still started fighting, and paid the price of blood. Russia's chief negotiator, Medinsky, said in a recent interview that the Ukrainian representative himself said, "You have one leader, and we have three." So whatever you sign, you need the consent of the other two. Negotiations in one's own country still need to be hindered by others, Medinsky said, this is the sorrow of a country without sovereignty. The Ukrainian negotiator also revealed in a TV interview last year that when the conflict began, the British Prime Minister at the time, Boris Johnson, went to Kyiv to persuade Zelensky that they would not sign an agreement with Putin and support Ukraine and Russia. And by now, Johnson has long run away, but Ukraine is indeed bleeding and sweating. In front are Russian shells, and in the back are NATO sharp knives, and today's Ukraine can only go all the way to the dark.
