The Ukrainian crisis is suddenly changing! President Volodymyr Zelensky and former Petro Poroshenko mysteriously disappeared from Russia's wanted list! What does this mean?
At the same time, NATO is mulling a major decision on whether to send troops to Ukraine in July, which, if implemented, would trigger a larger military confrontation. What is the mystery behind this series of changes?
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been going on for months, and the two sides are going back and forth on the battlefield for the time being. It was at this critical moment that a puzzling piece of news surfaced - the mysterious disappearance of Zelensky and Poroshenko from Russia's wanted list. Does this mean a shift in Russia's position on high-level Ukrainian figures?
Or was it just an unintentional mistake? And what is even more concerning is whether NATO will really make the decision to send troops to Ukraine in July? If NATO does intervene, it will complicate the situation. It is necessary for us to calmly analyze the current situation.
Against the backdrop of the escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian side suddenly made a puzzling decision to remove the current President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and former President Petro Poroshenko from Russia's wanted list. As the supreme leader of Ukraine, they are naturally the main target of the Russian army, and the Russian side believes that they have played a direct leadership role in the Ukrainian-Russian conflict, so they have been put on the wanted list. But now the Russian side has suddenly changed its mind, and this kind of backtracking has undoubtedly aroused a lot of speculation and questions from the outside world.
There is not yet a clear explanation for the reasons for this decision by the Putin government. But judging by the usual Russian approach, this abrupt shift is likely to be a strategic consideration, aimed at making gestures and concessions to achieve something at some point in the future. After all, Zelensky's status in the international arena as the democratically elected president of Ukraine is beyond doubt. Putting him on the wanted list will undoubtedly put the Russian side in a passive position in the arena of international public opinion.
In addition, Russia's removal of Zelensky and others from the wanted list may also be motivated by some diplomatic considerations. As the Ukraine crisis continues to heat up, Russia may want to use this gesture to ease some diplomatic pressure and leave room for future negotiations. Because if even the top leader of Ukraine is identified as a wanted person, then the possibility of reconciliation between the two sides will be greatly reduced.
Of course, we cannot rule out that there are other hidden reasons for Russia's move. After all, when the clouds of the civil war in Ukraine are looming, the life safety of Zelensky and others as Ukrainian leaders is naturally seriously threatened. Perhaps, for some reasons, the Russian side does not want to take action against them for the time being, so as not to trigger uncontrollable consequences.
Russia's decision to remove the supreme leader of Ukraine from the wanted list is indeed incomprehensible. This kind of backtracking may be due to some strategic consideration on the part of the Russian side, or it may be motivated by other purposes. However, in any case, in the context of the current high tension in Ukraine, the decisions of either side will be subject to great attention and speculation from all walks of life. We hope that the Russian side will come up with a reasonable explanation for this matter, instead of letting too many uncertainties hide behind this decision. After all, the Ukraine issue is a matter of regional peace and stability, and neither side's decision-making should be left in a state of ambiguity.
We all know that Russia, as a neighbor of Ukraine, has always had reservations about Ukraine's pro-Western policy. In this conflict, the Russian side insisted that Ukraine should remain neutral and not join Western military organizations such as NATO. Therefore, the Russian army launched a military operation against Ukraine, trying to curb Ukraine's pro-Western tendencies by force.
However, there are risks associated with this practice. Once the Russian army injures Ukraine's top leader, it will undoubtedly be regarded as a serious provocation to Ukraine's sovereignty and will inevitably trigger a wider military confrontation. This will not only exacerbate the contradictions between the two sides, but may also lead to a further deterioration of the situation, which will eventually lead to an even more difficult situation to manage.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the Russian side decided to temporarily slow down the military suppression of the Ukrainian high-level and instead seek diplomatic means to solve the problem. This approach demonstrates Russia's wisdom and restraint and is expected to provide an opportunity to de-escalate the situation. After all, through dialogue and negotiation, it is always easier for both sides to find a win-win way out than to confront each other by force.
Of course, the road to diplomatic negotiations has not been easy. The two sides have differences on many issues, and consensus needs to be reached through mutual concessions and compromises. However, as long as both sides are sincere in de-escalating the situation, they will certainly be able to find a compromise solution that will inject new vitality into peace.
Peace is never achieved overnight and requires the joint efforts of all parties. We hope that both Russia and Ukraine will cherish this opportunity to de-escalate the situation, resolve their differences through dialogue and ultimately achieve reconciliation based on the principles of mutual respect and mutual benefit. After all, peace is the highest ideal of humanity, and nothing is more precious than peace. Let us all hope that this conflict will be subsided at an early date and that harmony and tranquility will return to the land of East Christianity.
On the other hand, NATO may make a decision in July on whether to send troops to Ukraine, which will undoubtedly plunge the situation into a further aggravation. NATO, as a military alliance consisting mainly of the United States and European countries, has always been the last thing Russia wants to see. Once NATO does provide military assistance to Ukraine, it will inevitably be regarded by Russia as blatant interference in Ukraine's internal affairs, which may lead to a larger-scale military confrontation.
We must understand that although the United States has been secretly supporting Ukraine, openly sending troops is a dangerous decision after all. This would undoubtedly be a declaration of war on Russia, and both sides could be drawn into a greater military standoff. European countries may not really support NATO's involvement, because they will be the most direct victims if the war spreads. Therefore, I am afraid that there are also big differences within NATO on the issue of whether to send troops.
The real reason for Russia's removal of Zelensky and Poroshenko from the wanted list is not yet known, but it is likely a signal to de-escalate the situation. And whether NATO finally decides to send troops to Ukraine may directly determine where the Ukrainian-Russian conflict will go. In any case, we hope that this senseless civil war will be resolved as soon as possible through peaceful negotiations and a wider military confrontation will be avoided. Because the ongoing conflict will not only bring huge losses to Ukraine and Russia, but will also greatly affect the peace and stability of the whole of Europe.
