In recent days, as Zelensky's public approval rating has risen, his ambitions have swelled. The Ukrainian General Staff released a message on March 3 local time that Ukraine is preparing to carry out **. The news caused shock in the international community, and many people cheered for Ukraine's courage. However, the Russian side expressed disgust at this, and the foreign minister even said that Ukraine was ready to provoke. Zelenskyy seems intent on escalating the war, raising speculation about what kind of support he receives.
First of all, Zelensky's audacity has been hugely bolstered in this crisis. At first, he appeared flustered because he feared that Ukraine would not be able to withstand Putin's wrath. However, in the face of the multifaceted sanctions imposed by Western countries on Russia, especially those related to sports, arts, and other fields, Zelensky began to see opportunities and felt a strong support. This support gave him the determination to fight back, as if to show Ukraine's strength on the international stage.
Secondly, Western countries have provided ** support, although the regular troops have not directly intervened, but all kinds of ** have been pouring into Ukraine in a variety of ways. The United States, the European Union and other countries have provided all kinds of **, among which Germany has donated Soviet-made surface-to-air missiles that were used in East Germany, which has attracted attention and discussion from all parties. This support allows Zelensky to see a broader strategic space.
In addition, Zelenskyy announced that 16,000 international volunteers were on the way, a move that showed his international diplomacy. Although this is not a proposal from Western countries, it may be the suggestion of some behind-the-scenes force. This news once again ignited the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people and provided them with more confidence and support.
This series of moves has caused Putin quite a headache. Ukraine, as part of the Slavic community, has a special historical bond with Russia. Putin has had to tread cautiously and try to achieve precision surgery in the war without harming innocent people. However, Ukraine's delaying tactics have troubled him, and the international community's counter-sanctions have made him even more passive. In this situation, the tenacity and courage shown by Ukraine have put Putin in a thorny situation in the political game.
Ultimately, the development of the entire battle will determine the outcome of this crisis. Ukraine may bow in the face of Russia's powerful offensive, accept a series of conditions, or hold on to great sacrifices and force Russia to retreat. Another possibility is that Russia is stuck in a stalemate and eventually faces internal and external difficulties and is forced to stop. The most pessimistic scenario is that after Russia's phased victory, Western countries intervened, leading to the outbreak of a full-scale war, bringing unforeseen disasters to the world.
Regardless of the final outcome, it is hoped that this war will end quickly, with less loss of life and a return to peace in the world. This is the hope of all of us to see the cruelty and evil of war again.
