Zelensky, as Ukraine's **, shoulders the heavy responsibility of the country's life and death, and came to the United States on December 12 to meet with Biden and members of the U.S. Congress, hoping to seek more aid and improve Ukraine's difficult situation. Zelenskyy, as always, expressed his impassioned feelings, emphasizing that Ukraine is fighting for its own freedom and that of the United States, and that Ukraine's victory also means the common security of all European countries. However, during this meeting, US lawmakers did not react too enthusiastically to Zelenskyy's call, especially Republicans who said that they did not see the prospect of a victory for Ukraine and that the United States should focus on more meaningful things. For the Republican Party, it makes more sense not to care about how long Ukraine can hold out, but to prevent immigrants from becoming free votes for the Democratic Party. Although Ukraine received $200 million worth of aid during the visit, it was far less than the $60 billion Zelensky expected and the $400 billion Zaluzhny had raised. And this aid fund has already been approved by Biden **with his own authority**, and it is currently one of the few aid to Ukraine. Faced with such a situation, how should Zelensky respond?
Zelensky's lack of optimism comes from Biden's statement, Biden said: "We can support it for as long as we can, and every day we can support it is counted as one day." This phrase is almost equivalent to a sentence of "death" for Ukraine. Before Zelensky, Biden has always said that the United States will support Ukraine for as long as it takes, from "fighting for as long as you want" to "you can hold on for a day", this shift represents a complete shift in Biden's strategic focus on Ukraine. Previously, the U.S. focus was on Ukraine, which meant that the U.S. had to support Ukraine no matter what the actual situation was;The focus now is on the United States itself, and aid will stop as long as the United States believes that it cannot continue to support it. However, the United States has the right to decide on this boundary of "no further support", so this sentence can be understood as Biden is not confident that he will be able to convince the Republican Party that American support for Ukraine may end at any time.
As we all know, without the full support of the United States, Ukraine will not be able to hold out much longer in the face of Russia. At present, Ukraine has been in conflict with Russia for more than 20 months, and Ukraine's own resources have basically been exhausted, and it is completely dependent on Western aid to make ends meet. If the United States really breaks off its support for Ukraine, then Ukraine can only lead to destruction.
As a former Soviet Union country, Ukraine has suffered hardships and hardships in its history, and from the disintegration of the Soviet Union to the present, it has suffered tremendous shocks in political, economic, military and other aspects. At the same time, Ukraine has been trying to find cooperation with Western countries, hoping to get more support and assistance. However, despite the fact that Ukraine has gained a certain amount of attention and support in the international community, it is still far from strong enough in the face of Russia, a formidable adversary.
For Ukraine, the United States is one of the most important partners. Ukraine hopes to receive the full support of the United States to defend its territorial integrity and national interests. However, Ukraine's increasing dependence on the United States is a potential risk for Ukraine's future development. If the United States decides to end its support for Ukraine, Ukraine may find itself in an even more difficult situation.
During Zelenskyy's meeting with Biden, Zelensky emphasized the shared mission of Ukraine and the United States, which is to fight for freedom. He believes that the victory of Ukraine will mean the common security of the entire European country. This kind of proposition may have received more support and recognition in the past, but the world is different today.
The competition in the international community is becoming more and more intense, and the interests of countries are becoming more and more different. In this case, the United States' support for Ukraine has undoubtedly been more considered and restricted. For the United States, it may be even more important to ensure its own national interests and domestic stability. Therefore, when faced with Ukraine's request, the United States may consider it more in its own interests.
However, for Zelensky, he must face the harsh reality of the difficulties that Ukraine faces in defending freedom and national interests. He needs to find alternatives to ensure that Ukraine can continue to survive in this difficult situation. This is a great challenge for a new **.
Ukraine's relations with the United States are a complex and sensitive issue. Any decisions and actions need to be carefully considered so as not to bring more destabilizing factors to Ukraine and the international community. Regardless of whether Ukraine can finally emerge from its predicament and rebuild a prosperous future, the international community hopes that the situation in Ukraine will be peaceful, stable and sustainable.
For Ukraine, the dilemma it faces could be a turning point in history. At this critical juncture, Ukraine needs to unite and find more partners to meet the challenges together. At the same time, Ukraine also needs to assess the situation and be flexible in order to safeguard its national interests and people's well-being to the greatest extent.
In any case, the future of Ukraine will surely be decided by the Ukrainian people themselves. Only when the Ukrainian people are united and uphold their beliefs and values will they be able to overcome the difficulties and usher in a brighter future.
