Putin won by surprise, and the change of commander before his departure caught the United States and the West off guard
On the eve of Putin's imminent arrival on Chinese soil, the Russian Ministry of Defense received shocking news - Putin suddenly changed his commander, and Shoigu was replaced by Belousov, a veteran economic expert. This unexpected decision not only shocked the international community, but also caught the United States and the West off guard.
1. Putin's chess game: the ingenious layout before leaving
Putin's move, which seems to be risky, is actually well thought-out. At the critical juncture of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, he chose a non-military Belousov, what is the deep meaning behind this?
Belousov has extensive experience working in the economy and knows the state of the Russian economy inside out. Putin values this and aims to provide Russia with a more solid backing on the battlefield by integrating economic and military resources. This strategy is undoubtedly a powerful response to the sanctions and suppression imposed by the United States and the West.
2. The embarrassment of the United States and the West: How to deal with Putin's clever hand?
In the face of Putin's sudden change of commander, the United States and the West were obviously a little caught off guard. They originally thought that through sanctions and repression, Russia could be forced to submit on the battlefield. However, Putin's move made them realize that Russia is not so easy to defeat.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken reacted quickly, saying he would step up military assistance to Ukraine. However, there is still great uncertainty as to whether this approach of "treating the head with a headache and treating the foot with a sore foot" can change the trend of the war situation.
3. The Russia-Ukraine war: how will it evolve in the future?
As the war between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, the future direction is becoming more and more confusing. One thing is certain, however, that no matter how the situation evolves, peace will always be the common pursuit of humanity.
Putin's change of command has brought a lot of pressure to the United States and the West, but it has also provided new possibilities for the resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. It is hoped that the two sides will take this opportunity to re-examine the causes and nature of the conflict and find a way to resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation. After all, there are no winners in war, and only peace can bring true prosperity and stability.
