The gradual tapering of the United States to Ukraine.
During the Biden administration, the United States provided Ukraine with a large amount of money for military support to Ukraine, and it is expected that military support for Ukraine will be gradually reduced by the end of 2023. And that's not all, the US Congress has not provided military assistance to Ukraine throughout 2023, which is clearly embarrassing for Biden America. The Republican Party in the United States has been trying hard to block Biden's military aid to Ukraine. After more than $44 billion in military support and more than $60 billion in financial support from the United States for Ukraine, Ukraine has declared that it wants to launch a "big **" but there is no progress, which gives the US Republican Party an opportunity.
However, in the face of the plight of the United States, Britain has behaved toughly, and it has already announced two minesweepers for Ukraine. Although they are only a minesweeper, in the eyes of the Ukrainians, they can be regarded as a warship of considerable size. But just when Britain wanted to behave better, Turkey stepped up and prevented Britain from sending a minesweeper to Ukraine. Turkey prohibits British-supplied minesweepers from crossing the Bosphorus, which Turkey controls. As long as Turkey agrees, it means that Russia can freely enter and exit the Black Sea, so Britain will not oppose Turkey.
Turkey is now so"A husband is a pass", not only blocking the minesweepers sent by Britain to Ukraine, but also blocking the Bosphorus, making it impossible for Russian and NATO ships to enter the Black Sea. At this time, only commercial ships can pass through Turkey, which is a key support for Russia. If Turkey allows NATO warships to sail into the Black Sea, it will be a great danger for Russia, which will have to pay more for the approach of NATO warships, which will also make Russia even worse in the Black Sea Fleet. Russia's Black Sea Fleet has been battered in Ukraine's war with Russia, with its flagship Moskva sunk and a 4,400-ton destroyer launched by Ukraine. Turkey and Russia maintain close ties and have shown tolerance on several occasions. Especially at the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine, Turkey has already provided Ukraine with a T-2 drone to carry out accurate attacks on Russia's army. However, Russia did not send any dissatisfaction with Turkey because it knocked down Russian Su-16C D fighters with F-24C D aircraft in the war in Syria. This is due to the fact that Russia is at a critical juncture and is in dire need of Turkish assistance. From this point of view, Turkey's rejection of the two "minesweepers" offered by the British is actually a kind of compensation for Russia's "investment", since Turkey's **Erdogan did not betray Russia's Putin. In Erdogan's view, Putin's "life-saving grace" to Turkey lies in the fact that Russia once revealed information about the coup to Turkey and helped him crush the army's conspiracy during the military operation, which is why Erdogan is very grateful to Putin.
Problems faced by the United States in helping Ukraine.
The gradual reduction of US military aid to Ukraine is a heavy burden for Ukraine. Ukraine has long been eager for strong international support from the United States to counter Russia's invasion. However, due to the lack of military funding from the United States for Ukraine, the help provided to it has also decreased, leaving Ukraine without the **and** it needs in the event of a war with Russia. The reduction in U.S. aid is a serious test for Ukraine, and its strategic defense capability has been seriously tested.
Moreover, the obstruction of the Republicans in the United States has plunged Ukraine deeper into the quagmire. In the American political system, the presence of Republicans and their diplomatic standing often determine Obama's decision. Republicans' obstruction has put Biden in trouble with military aid to Ukraine, which has left it unable to secure adequate support for providing military aid. That is why the United States is providing less and less military help to Ukraine, which is a destabilizing problem for its ***.
Proof of British strength and Turkish constraints.
In a situation where the United States could not help, Britain stepped forward and presented Ukraine with two minesweepers. Although they are only a minesweeper and do not have much strategic significance, their support to Ukraine cannot be ignored. This move not only shows that the UK is firmly in support of Ukraine, but also that it has taken a positive attitude towards Ukraine.
However, Britain was held back by Turkey. Two minesweepers sent by the British were ordered by Turkey not to sail from the Bosphorus to the Black Sea. The Bosphorus Strait connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Black Sea and is the only way to and from the Black Sea. Turkey's move is actually to curb British aid to Ukraine and prevent Ukraine from receiving support and assistance from British minesweepers.
Turkey is taking such actions not because it has enmity with Ukraine, but because of its own national interests. Turkey has close ties with Russia and has a strong presence in the Black Sea region. For Turkey, allowing NATO ships to sail into the Black Sea is a danger to Russia, so Turkey closed the strait in order to protect its country and ties with Russia.
Overall, Ukraine is facing a more dire situation with the United States curtailing aid, British aid, and Turkey blocking it. Ukraine must find another way to deal with Russia's invasion and work with countries around the world to protect its security and interests.
