The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is heating up, but against this backdrop, there are gradually signs that the conflict may be coming to an end. Slovakia has publicly announced the cessation of military aid to Ukraine, the Polish Prime Minister has also mentioned the possibility of stopping aid to Ukraine, and the Dutch new ** has made a similar move. At the same time, Ukrainian ** Zelensky has repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the gradual reduction of US and Western aid, and even complained that "it is better to let the dog run the world". In the process of resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's intentions are clearly crucial. Therefore, recently not only the United States invited Russia to participate in the APEC summit in San Francisco, but the OSCE ministers also extended an invitation to Russia to participate in the OSCE ministerial meeting in North Macedonia. The Russian foreign minister promised to travel to Europe for a meeting, but instead provoked interference from a certain country, seemingly trying to put pressure on Russia. According to the global network, according to the original plan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's special plane should pass through Bulgarian airspace.
Bulgaria initially agreed to open its airspace, but on the day of the meeting, it temporarily changed its mind and claimed that it would not allow a special plane carrying Russian spokeswoman Zakharova to fly over its airspace. As an important member of the Russian delegation, Zakharova's move by Bulgaria is clearly intended to embarrass Russia, and may even intend to make Russia "bow its head" to ask for accommodation. However, to Bulgaria's surprise, Russia behaved very resolutely, and Lavrov was unlikely to leave Zakharova behind. They directly changed course, avoided Bulgaria, chose to pass through Turkish and Greek airspace, and after a large detour, finally landed in North Macedonia. The entire flight lasted more than 5 hours and spanned more than 4,000 kilometers. Some people may wonder why Bulgaria treats a woman like thisAs we all know, Zakharova's performance during the Russia-Ukraine conflict was very good, and she often showed ridicule, anger and criticism of the West, which attracted the attention of the world. Because of this, many countries hate her to the core.
However, Zakharova is only a spokesperson for Russia***, and all her speeches are only on behalf of the Russian state. As the number one leader, Lavrov's firm position is by no means just to support a woman, but to represent the will of a country. Russia has been humiliated, and it may have been suggested that it should not attend the meeting altogether. However, I think Russia's main purpose is to send a signal that Russia is different from the United States and Western countries. Once it has pledged to participate in the conference, Russia will honour it, and will swallow its anger unless it encounters particularly extreme obstruction. Putin also recently mentioned that Russia has never refused to negotiate peace with Ukraine and must think about how to end the "tragedy" in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. At the OSCE meeting, Lavrov naturally had to tell the United States and the West loudly who was exacerbating this "tragedy". The United States and Western countries are very fond of engaging in "** wars", and sometimes they will infinitely exaggerate the impact of a sentence or a move.
This time, for example, if the Russian foreign minister does not go because of anger, the West will claim that Russia has not shown sincerity in dialogue. Russia, of course, will not give them such an opportunity. Russia, by contrast, is more sober than Israel, whose reckless behavior has made it the target of international criticism. Although Russia and Ukraine have been fighting for almost two years, many believe that Russia is acting right. That's where the details come into play. The West once labeled Russia an "aggressor", but now Russia has regained its self-confidence, calling itself a "rebel", and this self-confidence will continue to grow. In addition, Russia would rather take a 5-hour detour than negotiate with Bulgaria. Judging by the **announced**, it was already dark when the Russian Foreign Minister got off the plane, and they didn't even bother to care if they were late. This suggests that Russia's participation in the conference does not mean that Russia will "bow its head and speak". As for Bulgaria, according to the character of Russia, I don't think it will be too long for Russia to hold a grudge against this.
Zakharos later wrote bluntly on social **: "Despite the conspiracy of the enemy, we have reached Skopje", and it seems that the estrangement between them has been resolved.
