Ukraine is currently facing an unprecedented crisis, even more severe than it was at the beginning of the war. On key battlefields, the large-scale ** in Ukraine has failed to achieve the desired results, while the Russian army is gradually intensifying its offensive. The war is increasingly logistically demanding, with Ukraine's financial resources on the verge of exhaustion and aid from the United States and Europe delaying its arrival.
In order to get more aid, Ukraine** Zelensky visited the United States again. During this visit, he tried to convince the opposing US lawmakers to emphasize that Ukraine will never surrender in the fight against the Russian army. Zelenskyy also warned that the conflict would be even more brutal if more aid could not be obtained, as the Ukrainian army might not be able to resist the well-armed and well-targeted Russian army.
According to Biden**'s plan, the United States is expected to provide $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, of which $50 billion will be used for military support and 10 billion for Ukraine's other needs. However, this plan was met with strong opposition from Republican lawmakers. There are two main reasons for their opposition: first, the American people are tired of the bottomless pit of demand in Ukraine;The second is that Republican lawmakers want to force Biden to back down on the border issue. Because of Biden's refusal to compromise, Ukraine has fallen victim to the political game. Zelensky was disappointed when he left the United States, and Biden was only able to provide $200 million in aid in the end, which is clearly far from enough for a war. At the same time, Biden's position has also changed, from the previous "it will take time to support Ukraine" to "we can support it for as long as we can".
Russia has shown obvious satisfaction with this. Russian Ambassador to the United States Antonov said about Zelensky's trip to the United States that in the end, Ukraine returned empty-handed, and this is because everyone is tired of begging from Kyiv. Ukraine's challenges go far beyond that. Although NATO wants Ukraine to continue fighting, it is unlikely that they will admit Ukraine as a member. Ukraine's best hope is to join the European Union, but Hungary has become an obstacle for them. At the inauguration ceremony in Argentina, Zelensky and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban even almost clashed. Domestically, the rift between Ukrainian commander-in-chief Zaluzhny and Zelensky is deepening. If elections are held in Ukraine, Zaluzhny could become Zelensky's strongest rival. And Zelensky has also taken frequent actions recently, including the removal of a number of senior leaders, including the Minister of Defense. The political situation in Ukraine is experiencing intense turmoil. There are even hints from Russia ** that the possibility of a coup d'état is not ruled out.
Putin recently visited the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and it is widely believed that he has passed the most difficult period and is once again active on the international stage. At the same time, the Russia-Ukraine conflict seems to be turning into a forgotten war. Ukraine hopes to be able to regroup and continue fighting, but support from the United States and Europe is gradually waning. How this war will eventually end is not yet possible. Perhaps it is time for both sides to sit down for peace talks. Russia and Ukraine should perhaps consider compromising with each other and accept reality, for example, that Crimea should be given to Russia, that a referendum be held in eastern Ukraine, and that Ukraine would remain neutral and not join NATO. This is also the plan proposed by Musk, the world's richest man, last year. He believes that this may be the final solution to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, because Russia's population is three times that of Ukraine and it has a nuclear **, and Ukraine cannot achieve a real victory. Continuing to fight will only result in more people**, so it is better to start negotiations as soon as possible to find a peaceful solution.
However, this proposal caused a strong reaction in Ukraine and was seen as an act of surrender. Musk thus went from being a hero who supported Ukraine to a figure accused of betraying Ukraine. Despite this, the Ukrainian army launched a large-scale ** in the summer. But now, with the defeat of ** and the reduction of US aid, Ukraine is once again facing an extremely dangerous moment. In the face of this cruel reality, Russia and Ukraine may really think about peace talks. A few years later, when we look back on all this, we can't help but ask: what exactly is this war for?Is it worth it?Who is the real initiator of all this?
