The magic diplomatic relations between the United States and Russia, one call, one sanction, one counterattack, have exhausted Ukraine's small heart.
On the one hand, it is feared that the United States and Russia will ease relations, so it will be difficult to ride the tiger, not only will no one care about him, but it may also be easily annexed by Russia.
On the other hand, the United States and Russia are vying for hegemony, although the United States has been verbally promising not to abandon Ukraine and will give various forms of assistance, but the thunder will not be mined, and Ukraine is like an ant on a hot pot, but there is no way.
The United States is a big country, and it has to deal with all kinds of relations and contradictions, which is the life and death of the country for you Ukraine, but it is a trivial matter for the United States, and it is not worth his efforts to mobilize the masses.
It is better now that Taran has publicly claimed that Russia is sending troops to the border, and it is expected that there will be 56 battalion-level tactical groups on the Russian-Ukrainian border in the future, with a total number of 110,000 people.
110,000 people, distributed along the Border of Ukraine, should be said to pose a serious threat. It is known that Russia is still comprehensively strengthening the combat readiness of the three armed forces, the navy, and the air force, and the dream of Ukraine, which was originally heavily suppressed and wanted to bring Russia into the abyss of war, was taken over by the United States and NATO, and I am afraid that it could not be realized, at least it is still unknown.
For Ukraine, there are at least a few pieces of bad news now:
First, Putin resolutely blockaded the strait, and the Ukrainian navy was "homeless" in the vast Black Sea!
Recently, the Ukrainian Navy has moved from the home port of the Sea of Azov, although it is a number of small and light ships, but still posing, through the Kerch Strait into the Black Sea waters, to carry out so-called maritime military exercises.
On April 15, Russia issued a statement: until October 31, 2021, a blockade was imposed in the direction of the Kerch Strait, prohibiting the passage of foreign warships and ships, and all areas within the strait were in Russian territorial waters.
Why did Ukraine protest harshly? No sooner had his troops gone out for exercises than Russia blockaded the Kerch Strait between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and was unable to return to the port.
The situation is so tense, it is useless to protest. But russia's blockade will get in October, which can't afford to wait, can't afford to fight, and Ukraine, which is in a hurry, is like dumplings, and the taste of closing the door and hitting the dog is not good.
Originally wanted to use the background of the United States and NATO to show off its force to Russia, I finally realized what strength and strategy were.
Second, the Russian defense minister inspected the northern fleet and urged the repair of the aircraft carrier as soon as possible
Aircraft carriers have become an indispensable weapon of the modern navy and a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength.
Russia's TASS news agency reported that in recent days, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu not only visited the Murmansk Naval Base of the Northern Fleet, but also specially inspected the 35th shipyard in the region, hoping that they can repair it as soon as possible, and the only Aircraft carrier in Russia at present, "Admiral Kuznetsov".
China's navy already has two aircraft carriers - Liaoning and Shandong, of which Liaoning is a modified aircraft carrier from Ukraine's Varyag aircraft carrier, and Shandong, as China's second aircraft carrier, is also China's first domestic aircraft carrier in the true sense.
The United States now has a total of 12 large aircraft carriers in service, including 3 Kitty Hawk-class conventionally powered aircraft carriers, 1 Enterprise-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and 8 Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
Ukraine should understand what it means for Russia to step up the maintenance of aircraft carriers at this time and rush into service.
Third, Russian warplanes scared away US reconnaissance planes
On April 16, the U.S. RC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft launched another provocation. This is a good thing for Ukraine, but the good drama is behind.
According to Russian media reports, after taking off from Elson Air Base in Alaska, the RC-135 entered the North Pacific, quickly approached the vicinity of Russian airspace, and immediately launched intelligence gathering against Russian targets.
Russia reacted quickly, taking off MiG-31BM fighter jets from kamchatka airports and swooping at high speed into the airspace of the US Air Force's reconnaissance aircraft, which is accustomed to the so-called "close interception". The meaning of the picture is: If you don't hurry up, I will crash into you immediately, and it will be a big deal.
The fierce interception frightened the US RC-135 strategic reconnaissance plane, quickly turned around and slipped away.
These three aspects are only one of the actions taken by Russia from the periphery, it should be said that Russia has not yet fully targeted the attack, if it really does, Ukraine is estimated to have to disappear.
Now Russia has directly cut off the connection between the Ukrainian Navy and its home port, and has lost the supply channel, which has made the Ukrainian side panic, and while raising a strong protest, it has also asked the United States and NATO for help, but has not received any reply.
What makes Ukraine even more afraid is that if the war in East Ukraine is rekindled, the Ukrainian side may not only completely lose the Sea of Azov, but also lose all its naval strength, which can be said to be quite a big blow.
To this extent, the victory or defeat is already very obvious.
Ukraine, which feels that there is no way out, not only has it not taken a dead end: threatening the United States.
But he opened his mouth wide and put forward conditions to the United States and other countries: either join NATO or consider re-possessing nuclear weapons.
First, by joining NATO, Ukraine can protect itself, but not so easily. Although NATO has previously said that it wants to aid Ukraine, in fact, it is only a verbal expression, as well as Germany, France, etc., and directly deny the Ukrainian military plan, in the balance between Ukraine and Russia, NATO is of course more inclined to Russia.
Second, considering the re-possession of nuclear weapons, which is even more unlikely, not to mention Russia, even the United States will not allow such a thing to happen. Although, when the former Soviet Union first collapsed, Ukraine was considered a nuclear power, and then under the half-threat and half-instigation of the United States, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, and now it is unlikely to go back. Take a hundred steps back, don't say you don't have nuclear weapons, even if you do, it is estimated that it will not threaten the United States.
Third, I hope that the United States can send troops. Until now, U.S. aid to Ukraine has only been verbal, and When Ukrainian President Zelenskiy inspected the Oudong region before, he also publicly accused the United States of not doing anything and asked the United States to take action. It can be seen that Ukraine is actually holding its breath against the United States, after all, it is Ukraine that is in front of Russia, and the United States and other Western countries have not taken any action except for some painless sanctions and verbal solidarity.
Such a threat from Ukraine may only be counterproductive, and if it angers the United States, there is really no way back for Ukraine.
Ukraine is still good at itself, Ukraine, which cannot withstand the toss, is already exhausted, and if the United States also turns its face, Ukraine will inevitably be unable to eat and go.
Therefore, Ukraine should actually be sober and continue to help Western countries sell their lives, only to be afraid that they will really lose their only family foundation.
