In the face of Ukraine's winter-like predicament, the West's support for Ukraine seems to be like the temperature in winter, decreasing day by day. Although the leaders of Western politics still express their support for Ukraine, they may not believe even themselves. Ukraine no longer has many illusions about these verbal support and even promises. InUntil the ammunition is really delivered to Ukraine, everything is just a delusion. Ukraine is eager to change the situation, but the lobbying of Ukrainian politicians has become ineffective. Whether the West will continue to support Ukraine will no longer depend on Ukraine itself, but on how Western countries solve the Ukrainian problem. Especially with regard to the position of the United States, the entire West is basically waiting for the American initiative.
However, NATO Secretary General StoltenBergThis question was answered vaguely in an interview. He has an ordinary question about whether there will be NATO and the United States and other Western countriesArmedWhen Ukraine made a ** comment, it simply statedNATO membershipRightKievThe support was "unwavering", noting that these countries sent an unprecedented number of shipments to Ukraineand equipment. In addition, Germany and the Netherlands pledged significant assistance to Ukraine. However, he did not give a clear answer whether he would continue to assist Ukraine, help it organize the next "spring **" At the same time, StoltenBergIt's been talked aboutNATO membership, instead of talking about how NATO will help Ukraine, this shows that whether NATO will fully support Ukraine is still a question, and there is no consensus, and only the approach of individual member states can be used as an excuse to prevaricate journalists.
When Western politicians are asked about their support for Ukraine today, they always say that their support is "unwavering". However, this "unwavering" support is merely rhetorical. The West does not show real "steadfastness" in real actions. StoltenBergAs mentioned themselves, Ukraine has not made any progress over the past year. At the same time last year, Western countries were in full swingArmedUkraine, which is not only large and concentrated, does not only offerammunition, and also provides training for the Ukrainian army. After more than half a year of preparation, Ukraine launched the summer **. It was Ukraine's most powerful offensive since the start of the fighting, but it was marked by heavy losses and no substantial progress. StoltenBergThe mention of the past year is perhaps a hint that the West may not continue this yearArmedUkraine too.
If the West is not willing to help Ukraine organize another large-scale **, then the war cannot continue. The equipment provided by the West to Ukraine has almost been exhausted by the Ukrainian army, and Ukraine does not have enough strength to support it. Ukraine's only option now may be to seek opportunities for peace talks. This is also one of the biggest contradictions that Western countries are currently facing, and they don't have much time left, eitherContinuing the warWhether it is peace talks, it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible. Winter is a window period that will determine action beyond next spring. Therefore, the NATO Secretary General began to play on the sidelines, and most of the countries in Europe chose a sideline attitude, and only a few countries promised to continue to assist Ukraine, but only at the promise. Now they are all waiting for a signal from the United States that as long as the American aid bill cannot be passed, then there may be only one way out: peace talks.
If the West is not willing to continue to help Ukraine organize a large-scale **, then peace talks may well become the only option. The equipment previously provided to Ukraine has basically been exhausted, and Ukraine itself does not have enough capacity to continue fighting. Therefore, peace talks have become the only way out for Ukraine at the moment.
For Western countries, the biggest contradiction they are currently facing is the urgency of time. Either wayContinuing the warWhether it is peace talks, decisions need to be made as soon as possible, because winter is an important time to decide what to do after next spring. During this window, Western countries need to make decisions as soon as possible in order to continue to support Ukraine or promote a peaceful solution.
However, at present, there is no agreement among Western countries on the position of the Ukrainian issue. Most countries in Europe have opted for a sideline approach, and only a few have pledged to continue to assist Ukraine, but this is only a promise. And the United States, as the leading country of the West, has become decisive in the passage of its aid billCritical。It will be possible for the West to continue only when the US aid bill is passed and implementedArmedUkraine. Otherwise, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia may be resolved only through peace talks.
On the Ukraine issue, the support of Western countries is no longer firm, and Ukraine is facing a winter-like dilemma. Ukrainian politicians and army have always wanted the support of the West andassistance in order to continue to resist Russian aggression. However, the attitudes and actions of Western countries are not consistent, and some countries have pledged to continue to support Ukraine, but on the whole have not been able to provide sufficient support to Ukraine. For their part, Ukraine is faced with whether to give up or notArmedFight back and seek the option of peace talks. Although Ukraine** has been lobbying Western countries to continue to support, it has struggled to make a difference. Whether the future of Ukraine can change now depends on how Western countries will solve the Ukrainian problem. In particular, the position of the United States is crucial, and at the moment the entire Western country is basically waiting for the decision of the United States. Due to the depletion of war resources and the constraints of winter, opportunities that could lead to peace talks soon appeared. Western countries need to decide as soon as possible whether they want to continue to support Ukraine or push for a peaceful solution.
