When it comes to this matter between Ukraine and Russia, we may have to sit down and have a good talk.
I remember that in February last year, Russia suddenly launched a special military operation against Ukraine, and as soon as this incident came out, the whole world became nervous.
If you look at those figures, the military aid provided by Western countries to Ukraine has reached $61 billion, which is not a small amount! The United States alone has spent 43 billion yuan, and how much can this money do, but it was thrown into the war.
However, war is not a numbers game, every missile that falls, every cannon sounds, there are human lives behind it.
On the Ukrainian side, although the counteroffensive has achieved some results, you think about how heavy Ukraine's losses are in the face of Russia's carefully arranged defensive line.
I heard that in Bakhmut, the Ukrainian soldiers fought particularly hard, and NATO's advanced equipment was available, but in the face of mine arrays and drones, the progress was still pitiful.
Let's talk about Mariupol, which is a strategic location, and the two sides are fighting to the death.
After more than a month of fierce fighting, the Russian army still took the city. This kind of battle is not only a military victory, but also a demonstration of the strength of both sides.
But, let's be honest, who is the victor of the war? Soldiers are fighting the front lines, politicians are pointing the way in the rear, but it is probably the arms dealers and energy companies who really benefit, and the more the war is fought, the more their wallets are bulging.
In the final analysis, when it comes to war, it is the common people who suffer.
Homes were destroyed, lives were disrupted, and the days of peace were gone. Those who are high-ranking decision-makers may never feel the pain of losing their homes.
Hopefully, this conflict will end soon, so that the skies of Ukraine can return to tranquility and everyone can live a peaceful life with peace of mind. After all, peace is always the most popular thing wherever you go.
Let's talk about the numbers behind them.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that since the start of the special military operation, Russia's production of tanks has increased by 5.6 times, the production of drones has increased by 16.8 times, and the production of artillery shells has increased by 17.5 times.
These numbers make people's hearts furious when they sound like this, what a price to pay. And, did you notice, the EU has also imposed sanctions on Russia one after another, while also providing assistance to Ukraine.
However, these lofty international politics may be a bit distant for ordinary people.
They are more concerned about when the war will end, when they will be able to return to their homes, and when their children will be able to go to school safely. These are very real problems, and they are also the direct effects of the war.
Let's go a little deeper, the impact of war is all-encompassing.
Economically, many countries have been hit by soaring energy prices and disrupted supply chains. Environmentally, the damage and pollution caused by the war is also a catastrophe for the ecosystem.
At the social level, the displacement of large numbers of refugees has put pressure on the social welfare systems of other countries. Culturally, the loss of cultural heritage caused by the war is also immeasurable.
For example,
You look at the cultural heritage of Ukraine, those old churches, museums, some of which were destroyed in the war, some of which may have disappeared forever. These are the precious treasures of human civilization, and once lost, they can never be recovered.
And those whose families have been ruined by the war, their stories, their sorrows, should also be remembered by the world.
