Title: Zelensky, I can't hold on!Ukraine is facing a break, and readers are shouting "What now?".”
Zelensky stands at the crossroads of history, and the war situation in Ukraine tightly affects the nerves of the international community. This is not only a military conflict, but also a political, economic and diplomatic game that will affect the future direction of Ukraine. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of Ukraine's predicament, Russia's momentum, and the limitations of U.S. and Western assistance, ** the details of this international game, and reveal the truth of the situation for readers.
Situational explanation: Zelensky's historic choice.
Ukraine is plunged into an unprecedented crisis, and Zelensky stands at this tragic moment in history. Russia's onslaught has reduced Ukraine to a passive defense, and US and Western assistance has been inadequate. The army of Ukraine not only lacks sufficient ** and ammunition, but also faces the dilemma of conscription. If Zelensky fails to quickly change this predicament, Ukraine will be in an irreparable desperate situation.
Ukraine's desperate situation: insufficient military and poor aid.
In this war without gunpowder, Ukraine's army is in a deep predicament. As a result of the defeat, the Ukrainian army suffered heavy losses, and according to the American newspaper The Washington Post, Ukraine has more than 12450,000 people were killed. In the face of the dilemma on the battlefield, Ukraine's conscription and mobilization efforts have become increasingly difficult, and Defense Minister Umerov pointed out that Ukraine's current armed forces of only 800,000 are far from enough to cope with Russia's powerful offensive.
This predicament has forced Ukraine to take urgent measures to lower the minimum age for conscription to 25 years old and conduct surprise inspections of nursing homes and sports facilities to ensure that more potential reservists can be mobilized. However, after the conscription notice was issued, the vast majority of people did not show up for duty, indicating concern about this seemingly inevitable battle.
Russia's strength: military expansion plans and military-industrial strength.
In this game, Russia has behaved unusually strongly. The ** decree signed by Putin increased the strength of the Russian armed forces to 2209.13 million people, and the number of military personnel increased by 170,000 to 1.32 million. By contrast, Russia's military strength and conscription program in Ukraine appear to be efficient and powerful. Russia has expanded its military twice, and with the advantage of the initiative, its offensive against Ukraine is even more step-by-step.
What is even more worrying is that Russia is not only strong in the military front, but also in the production capacity of its military-industrial complex. Cooperation with China has enabled Russia's economy to sustain the ongoing war. The Ukrainian side has suffered large-scale air strikes in a short period of time, especially in the eastern region, which has become the main target of the Russian army, and the situation is very critical.
The shortcomings of US and Western aid: financial pressure and Zelensky's helplessness.
In the face of Russia's powerful offensive, Ukraine is counting on assistance from the United States and its Western allies. However, financial pressures in the United States have put the aid program in a difficult position. Saranda Young, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, warned that the United States will no longer be able to provide sufficient ** and assistance to Ukraine by the end of 23.
On December 12, Zelensky visited the United States, but only received the news of the ** order to provide $200 million in aid to Kyiv. This is far from enough to support Ukraine's response to Russia's powerful offensive. Republican members of the U.S. Congress have a lot of obstacles to the aid bill, which makes it impossible for the aid plan to be approved quickly, and also makes Zelensky appear stretched in the diplomatic game.
Ukraine's cry for help: Zelensky's helplessness in the White House.
Zelensky met with Biden at the White House and faced dilemmas and challenges. He turned to the United States for help, but the amount of aid was limited and could not change the status quo in Ukraine. Political struggles within the United States have also stalled aid programs. For the first time, Ukraine issued a "death warning" to the United States, expressing their feelings of facing a desperate situation. But under the dual pressure of finance and politics, Zelensky seems to have been unable to save Ukraine from falling.
Russia's demands are related to Ukraine's helplessness.
In this international game, Russia unveiled the terms of a ceasefire, demanded that the West stop supplying ** to Ukraine, and demanded that Ukraine accept a new territorial reality. This demand has not fundamentally changed from the early stage of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which still aims to annex the four eastern regions of Ukraine and interrupt the process of Ukraine's accession to NATO. Ukraine has been caught in the game and accepted this reality has become possible, however, it is undoubtedly a painful compromise for a country that once chose to lean towards the West.
The fog of the end: where is the future of Ukraine?
In reality, Ukraine no longer seems to be qualified to bargain with Russia, and Zelensky in the diplomatic arena may not be able to save the country from a deep quagmire. In this game, Ukraine has become a "cake" to be divided, and some voices in the international community have even begun to discuss the need to replace Zelensky.
However, Ukraine's future remains uncertain and depends on the game between the United States and the West and Russia. The future of this country will rise and fall in the vicissitudes of international politics. And we, as bystanders, can only silently watch the development of this war, pray for that land of suffering, and at the same time worry about the peace and justice of the international community.
