Ukraine's conflict with Russia has been going on for quite some time, and in this war, Ukraine has paid a huge price. However, at the plenary session of the European Parliament, after the speech of the President of the European Commission, von der Leyen, a sudden sound of dog barking attracted attention. Although this is just a joke, it reflects Europe's weariness of playing the role of a vassal of the United States. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, has dealt a heavy blow and huge losses to Europe.
However, there are signs that Europe has begun to prepare for a negotiated solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. According to Reuters, the EU decided to launch accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova against Hungary's wishes. This is seen by Ukraine as a huge victory and a clear signal that Europe is seeking to end the conflict. This means that Russia will eventually emerge victorious, because in reality, Russia has gained the upper hand on almost all fronts and has already launched an offensive on all fronts.
The conflict in Ukraine has also completely disrupted the strategic layout of the United States and Western countries, forcing them to devote their main energy to the Middle East. According to the latest data released by the United Kingdom, the country's economic growth is zero, and the economy is stagnant in the face of high inflation. This is a reflection of the predicament faced by the West as a whole, for whom various conflicts have had a huge impact.
After the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Ukraine became an object of abandonment. The United States has been boasting about Ukraine's achievements on the battlefield and even distorting the reality of Ukraine's passive position. However, the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has changed the regional pattern and the world situation, leaving the United States and Western countries in a difficult situation. The United States** has also begun to openly admit that Ukraine will suffer defeat.
The inside story revealed by the Hungarian prime minister shows that thanks to Turkey's efforts, Russia and Ukraine have reached an initialling of the ceasefire agreement, but the United States forced Ukraine to abandon the signing at the last moment. The United States admits that Ukraine has lost the best opportunity to negotiate and has to accept the reality of defeat. Ukraine's army is exhausted, its stocks are depleted, the support of the United States and the West for Ukraine is difficult to maintain, and Ukraine has no ability to turn the situation around.
The European Union has also begun to admit that Ukraine will lose, and Borrell has publicly stated that he does not expect Ukraine to defeat Russia, stressing that the EU should be prepared for a possible reduction in US aid to Ukraine and offer compensation. The EU has signaled Ukraine, accepted the reality that Ukraine will lose, and acted accordingly.
In the current situation, the situation in Ukraine is very unfavorable. Russia has the upper hand on the battlefield and already controls some important areas of Ukraine. The Ukrainian army is almost depleted of equipment and resources and cannot compete with the Russian army. Moreover, due to the limited assistance from the West, Ukraine's military power and economic situation are gradually deteriorating.
Therefore, the change of attitude of the EU does not mean that they have abandoned Ukraine. On the contrary, they have begun to look for a political solution, to engage in dialogue and negotiations with Russia. The EU has launched accession talks to safeguard its interests and avoid further conflict. At the same time, they are aware of the need to balance support for Ukraine and relations with Russia in order to avoid further tensions.
In general, the situation in Ukraine is untenable, and the EU has accepted the reality of Ukraine's defeat and is moving towards a political settlement. Despite the difficulties and challenges that Ukraine will face, finding a solution through dialogue and negotiation remains the best option. The EU will continue to support Ukraine at the political and economic levels, while seeking cooperation and stable relations with Russia.
