Title: The Ukraine crisis has escalated again, and U.S. ** ships have entered the Black Sea region to deter Russia.
Introduction: Ukraine's recent military build-up and military assistance from the United States have led to another escalation of the war in the Donbas region. The United States recently sent a missile cruiser, as well as anti-submarine patrol aircraft, into the Black Sea region in an attempt to deter Russia. This move caused the Russian army to monitor the whole process, and made Ukraine illusion about the US intervention.
Body:
In recent years, Ukraine has been seen by Western countries, especially the United States, as the front line against Russia. However, U.S. aid has not really helped Ukraine realize its dream of becoming a regional military power. Since the 90s of the last century, Ukraine has been fooled by the Americans into destroying all nuclear warheads, missile silos and strategic bombers, giving up the possibility of powerful force.
After the outbreak of the war in Donbass in 2014, the United States provided some infantry light ** and anti-tank missiles, but the purpose was only to keep Ukraine and Russia bleeding. The Ukrainian Army, under the chaotic command of American advisers, staged a modern version of the "Battle of Sarhu". However, Ukraine has suffered heavy losses in the Donbas region, and the war has become more of a skirmish, especially after the outbreak of the pandemic.
Recently, however, the fighting in the Donbas region has escalated again, and the Ukrainian army has massively increased its troops. The United States has also pledged to continue to provide military assistance, and Biden has already approved 1$2.5 billion to bolster Ukraine's military power. In addition, the US Navy has sent ships into the Black Sea region in an attempt to deter Russian military power on the Crimean peninsula.
The USS Monterey, a guided missile cruiser of the USS Eisenhower aircraft carrier battle group, crossed the Bosphorus Strait into the Black Sea region on March 19, according to a report by the U.S. Naval Institute News**. The U.S. Navy also sent a P-8A anti-submarine patrol aircraft to coordinate the cruiser's operations, showing that the United States is brazenly deterring Russia in the Black Sea region.
The Monterey missile cruiser, which belongs to the "Ticonderoga" class, outperforms any of the lead ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in terms of combined combat effectiveness, and is armed with up to 122 cells of the MK-41 vertical launch system and 32 BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles. Although the Russian army has monitored the whole process to prevent provocations by the US military, Ukraine still has unrealistic illusions and still relies on US support.
However, the real purpose of Western countries, led by the United States, is to constantly bleed Russia and do not care about the losses of Ukraine. Ukraine became the only real victim.
Conclusion: The current crisis in Ukraine has escalated again, and the United States has re-intervened and sent ships into the Black Sea region in an attempt to deter Russia. However, Ukraine should recognize the reality and not have illusions about US intervention. Under the manipulation of Western countries, Ukraine may pay more costs, and only the Western countries themselves will really benefit.
Background information:
Ukraine suffered heavy losses in the Donbas war that broke out in 2014 and has recently escalated. The United States has provided military assistance to Ukraine and sent ships into the Black Sea region. Russia is strongly concerned about this, but Ukraine still harbors illusions about US intervention. However, under the manipulation of Western countries, Ukraine may be the only real victim.
Analysis & Outlook:
The ongoing escalation of the crisis in Ukraine has created uncertainty about the situation in the region. Ukraine should recognize the true intentions of the United States and seek reconciliation and cooperation with Russia. Russia has a strong military in the Black Sea region, and Ukraine should avoid unnecessary conflicts in order to protect its interests and regional stability. The international community should also strengthen its monitoring and good offices on the Ukraine crisis in order to promote a peaceful settlement.
