The Russia-Ukraine conflict is now a kind of "boring stalemate", where everyone is facing each other. But most of the West's eyes are drawn to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as if Ukraine has been set aside. This makes Ukraine a little unhappy, and before it thought it was the "darling" of the West. To add insult to injury, the Ukrainian army is also facing increasing difficulties on the front line as Western military aid slows down. As a result, great contradictions also began to arise within Kiev. Now the question is, will this war end in Ukraine?
According to the "Russia Today"** report, Zelensky's former aide Arestovych publicly said a few days ago that Western countries were not embarrassed at all, and even killed 200,000 to 300,000 Ukrainian soldiers in vain. He said that as early as the beginning of 2022, that is, when the Russian-Ukrainian conflict first broke out, Russia and Ukraine held a meeting in Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, and at that time the Russian side put forward a "very sincere" condition, that is, as long as Ukraine promised not to participate in NATO, Russia would immediately cease fire. However, at that time, former British Prime Minister Johnson has been making trouble, causing Ukraine to directly reject Russia's proposal, and the result is that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has dragged on until now.
Arestovich said that at that time, as a member of the Ukrainian delegation, he was baffled by the whole thing. Because the conditions for the truce were quite good at that time, and the bottom line of the Russian side was quite simple and clear, that is, to ask Ukraine to remain neutral and not to lean on the side of NATO. However, Kiev, under pressure from the West, simply refused all negotiations. As a result, this did not bring much benefit to Ukraine, NATO still did not let Ukraine in, and Western military support for Kyiv became more and more cold. In order to cater to the interests of Western countries, Ukraine has lost the lives of a full 300,000 soldiers. If there had been a truce, those people would have survived, there is no doubt about it.
Arestovich can be said to be a die-hard supporter of Zelensky, and his latest statement clearly shows that there are huge contradictions within Kyiv. In the context of the situation on the battlefield, there is a general pessimism about the prospects for the war at the top of Ukraine. They believe that Ukraine seems to have fallen victim to the West, just to meet the global strategic needs of countries such as the United States and Britain to contain Russia. Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives in the process, and Ukraine's economic situation has hit rock bottom. Now, Western countries seem to have "eaten and wiped clean", but in turn accuse Ukraine of "ineffective fighting" and complain about wasting the "valuable military aid" they provide, which inevitably makes Ukrainians feel cold.
Regarding Ukraine's so-called **, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said not long ago that from the beginning of June to the present, the Ukrainian army has lost 12 in this "botched **".50,000 fighters and 160,000 pieces of armament. Not only did they waste the few elite field units in Ukraine, but also the expensive ** that the West provided. However, the **, on which the West and Kyiv had high hopes, did not come to nothing.
In response to the ridicule of the Russian side, Kiev at first took a tough attitude and scoffed at it. Recently, however, they have begun to admit defeat on the battlefield. First of all, Zaluzhny, the leader of the Ukrainian army, said that the situation has reached a critical juncture, and it will be difficult to break the deadlock unless they can get some "magic **". Then, Zelensky also reluctantly admitted that the Ukrainian army did not achieve "satisfactory results".
All this shows that it is becoming more and more difficult for Ukraine to fulfill the task given by the West, that is, the task of defeating Russia on the battlefield. On the contrary, it may even "suddenly collapse" at some point, because Western countries have found that Russia has not only not been drawn into the deep quagmire of war, but has taken the opportunity to expand its military-industrial production capacity, and a large number of ** equipment has been continuously transported to the front. And Ukraine can only rely on the limited aid provided by the West, but as Western countries become more and more impatient with endless support for Ukraine, perhaps in the near future, Ukraine will lose the momentum of war and end up falling victim to the West's failed anti-Russian strategy.
