More than a month ago, Putin admitted that on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, he found many French- and English-speaking "Ukrainian soldiers", some of whom had died in the Russian-Ukrainian war.
In other words, Putin is telling NATO, I have already discovered your military aid to Ukraine, and NATO is planning to completely declare war on Russia?
On April 29, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken bluntly said: NATO has never deliberately targeted Russia, and it has never done so before, now, and in the future. NATO is primarily a defensive alliance that will not take the initiative to aggravate any conflict, and the easiest way to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is for Putin to accept negotiations with Ukraine.
Now that the Russian-Ukrainian war has been fought for more than two years, let alone Ukraine, even the entire NATO has begun to be unable to withstand it. Kyiv intends to end this ridiculous war, while the United States has handed over the initiative to Putin, and at the same time revealed that it hopes that Putin will accept this negotiation.
However, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova directly replied: Isn't it the United States that does not allow Zelensky to negotiate with Russia?
The implication of Zakharova's words is nothing more than sarcasm for the United States to say one thing and do another, Blinken said that he would not target Russia, and expressed the hope that Russia and Ukraine can sit down at the negotiating table and have a good talk. In fact, the United States has been privately preventing Zelensky from negotiating with Russia. As Zelensky said: "The United States doesn't care how many Ukrainian soldiers die"!
Zelensky wants to sue for peace, but the United States has been suppressing it
Even with the help of NATO, Ukraine will not be able to hold on to this war until now. In order to support the ambition of the United States to contain Russia, Ukraine has paid too much, the sharp decline in the number of people, the heroic sacrifice of young and middle-aged people, and only some old, weak, sick and disabled people are left in the country, as well as staggering debts. All of this is thanks to the United States.
For Zelensky, perhaps at the beginning he did have ambitions to use the power of the United States and NATO to brutally abuse Russia. But then Zelensky gradually saw the faces of NATO and the United States, they only cared about themselves and never cared about Ukraine. The result is that Zelensky has wanted to negotiate with Putin from a long time ago to end this ridiculous farce.
But the United States has been suppressing it, and all kinds of coercion and inducements do not allow Zelensky to negotiate. But now Blinken has publicly expressed his hope that Russia and Ukraine will negotiate, which is nothing more than to earn a good name. On the one hand, the United States wants to let the Russian-Ukrainian war continue, so as to continue to contain Russia, and on the other hand, the United States wants to openly show goodwill to Russia, because the United States was suddenly surprised to find that their original goal of dragging down the Russian economy with war has not been realized, but because of this war, the entire NATO has fallen into an economic crisis. If the United States no longer wants to find a way to seek economic benefits for NATO member states, it is estimated that it will not be able to sit in the position of big brother in the future.
The United States has sanctioned the Russian economy, but it has plunged NATO into a crisis
Earlier, the US House of Representatives passed a bill to "confiscate frozen Russian assets." In the face of this US decision, Putin immediately froze the assets of an American company in Russia of more than $400 million. For this reason, the United States actually endured it and took the initiative to show goodwill. The U.S. side said that before November 1, it will resume the settlement of transactions of a number of large Russian banks. Previously, because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the G7 directly kicked the Bank of Russia out of the international settlement system, and even strictly prohibited Russian companies and Russian banks from conducting any dollar trade settlements.
Now the United States is suddenly "easing" such sanctions, which is clearly a show of goodwill to Russia. As mentioned above, because of the US sanctions on the Russian economy, the whole of NATO is in an economic crisis.
As Baldwin, head of the Treasury Select Committee of the House of Commons, said, the West's plan to bring down Russia's economy by sanctioning it has not only failed, but has put the Russian economy on track to be at the forefront of the world this year. In other words, the more the United States sanctions the Russian economy, the more it promotes the development of the Russian economy.
In order to follow the United States, NATO member states have severed their ties with Russia in terms of energy, and the result is that the Russian economy has not collapsed, but the West has fallen into the dilemma of energy shortage. In addition, NATO countries do not sell goods to Russia, but let China occupy a higher and higher share of the Russian market, and trade between China and Russia is more frequent, which promotes the economic development of China and Russia.
At present, the economic development of China and Russia is getting better and better, on the other hand, NATO countries have problems such as inflation, energy shortages, and economic downturn because they follow the United States. Life is becoming more and more difficult for people in the West, and a large number of demonstrators and protesters have begun to appear on the streets. Not only that, but more and more people are starting to strike, and the whole West is in chaos. In addition, the national leaders of NATO member states may be ousted at any time because they have made a mess at home, and their approval ratings have declined.
Judging from the current situation in the entire NATO, the United States urgently needs to re-ease relations with Russia, open up the Russian market, and help NATO ease economic pressure. At the same time, the United States does not want to let go of the shackles of war on Russia. Therefore, it has formed the current situation of currying favor with Russia while pressuring Zelensky and not allowing him to negotiate peace.
