It's been put up with for a long time, and there's no room for tolerance anymore!
Russia has always taken a firm and resolute attitude in dealing with foreign enemies, and even when it is under joint pressure from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and other countries, it will never compromise. At present, the United States and the West continue to hype up the Ukraine crisis, the United States is trying its best to exert pressure on Russia, and Putin does not hesitate to launch a counterattack.
On the 16th, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian side is pessimistic about the prospects for the renewal of the agreement because the provisions of the "Black Sea Grain Agreement" on Russia have not been implemented. Putin also said that the "Black Sea Grain Agreement" did not bring about the diversification of Russian grain exports, but some Western countries instigated Ukraine to launch drone attacks on Russia under the agreement. Russia, feeling "deceived" by the West, considered withdrawing from the agreement.
On the same day, the Kremlin announced that Russia's "goodwill" would not last indefinitely in renewing the Black Sea grain deal. In just two days, Russia issued three consecutive warnings to "withdraw from the group", demonstrating its dissatisfaction with the "Black Sea Grain Agreement" and its patience and trust in the West continued to decline.
It should be noted that on July 17 this year, the "Black Sea Grain Agreement" will expire, and if the West does not take remedial measures to save Russia, Russia is very likely to refuse to renew it.
As the "breadbasket of Europe", once its grain cannot be shipped, it will lead to the risk of food shortages for most of Europe, especially in the context of the current intensifying inflation crisis in Europe, and the suspension of the "Black Sea Grain Agreement" will put Europe in even more difficulties.
In addition to the "withdrawal from the group" warning, Putin drew a new "red line" to the United States, Britain, France and Germany. Putin said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that once Russia's survival is threatened, Russia will use all means, including nuclear weapons, to launch a counterattack. Putin stressed that there is no need to use nuclear weapons at the moment, but pointed out that Russia has more nuclear weapons than NATO countries, and Russia will not reduce its nuclear arsenal as NATO wishes.
Putin said that the Russian army has the ability to "destroy any building in the center of Kyiv without any effort", but due to various considerations, it has not been implemented. At the same time, Russia has already delivered the first part of its nuclear installations to Belarus, and the deployment of the relevant nuclear equipment will be completed by the end of this year.
When talking about US-Russian relations, Putin said that although Russia has almost no contact with the United States, the Russian side has not refused to engage and has not closed the door to diplomacy. Emphasizing that Biden is an adult, experienced politician, Putin said that Russia will continue to act in the interests of the country and its people.
Judging by Putin's statement, there are three aspects worth paying attention to:
1.Putin is very confident in the nuclear forces that Russia has.
Putin once again drew a new "red line": Russia's nuclear ** is not empty talk, once Russia determines that its existence is threatened, it will use nuclear weapons to counterattack. Russia regards nuclear weapons as one of the cards against the West, and is unwilling to reduce its nuclear arsenal in accordance with NATO's wishes, which poses an extremely difficult situation for the United States to restore the "New START Treaty" with Russia, unless the United States makes a major compromise.
2.Russia still seems to have "left a lot of power" in the Ukrainian crisis.
Although Russia did not use nuclear weapons during the Ukrainian crisis, it did not directly strike at Ukraine's decision-making centers, such as the ** office, the Main Intelligence Directorate, the Ministry of Defense building and other important facilities. Russia has shown caution in the current conflict by avoiding a deadly situation with Ukraine. At the same time, Belarus deployed nuclear weapons to send warnings to Ukraine and NATO, making Ukraine feel nuclear deterrence, and sending a signal of nuclear deterrence to NATO countries at close range.
3.Putin's patience and trust in the United States have fallen to new lows.
Russia's diplomatic door has never been closed, but the United States and Russia have barely made contact, indicating that Biden may deliberately refuse to engage with Russia and create tensions. Putin said that Biden is an experienced politician and left it to the United States to choose, and if the White House insists on putting pressure on Russia, Putin will respond to the war, and the consequences will be borne by the United States. If the United States changes its course, the Russian side is willing to hold talks, but the specific method will be decided by the Russian side.
In short, the current Russia-Ukraine conflict has evolved into a confrontation between the United States and Russia, and the attitude of the United States will greatly influence the development of the situation. In the future, the moves of Biden and Putin will be key.
The current Russia-Ukraine crisis on the international stage has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions, especially after Putin's series of statements, the international community's actions against Russia and the response of the United States have attracted much attention. This series of statements not only reveals Russia's cards at the strategic level, but also demonstrates Putin's diplomatic methods and views on international relations.
First of all, Putin's confidence in Russia's nuclear forces is obvious, and he once again stressed that nuclear weapons are not decorations, but once the country's survival is threatened, Russia will not hesitate to use nuclear weapons to counterattack. This kind of tough statement is undoubtedly to clearly express to Western countries Russia's determination and the bottom line of inviolability. At the same time, Putin made it clear that Russia will not reduce its nuclear arsenal in accordance with NATO's wishes, which contrasts sharply with the expectations of the United States and other Western countries, and may create considerable difficulties for future arms negotiations.
Second, Russia's strategy of "leaving room in the woods" in the Ukraine crisis is worth pondering. Despite the complexity of the situation in Ukraine, Russia has avoided the use of nuclear ** in its statements and has not directly struck at key Ukrainian facilities. This cautious attitude indicates Russia's desire to avoid falling into a protracted military conflict while protecting its national interests. Belarus's deployment of nuclear weapons is both a deterrent to Ukraine and a clear indication to NATO countries, and this nuclear deterrence strategy demonstrates Russia's flexible response to the crisis.
Third, Putin's dissatisfaction and patience with the United States have fallen to a new low. He noted that Russia has almost no contact with the United States, but did not refuse diplomatic dialogue and expressed Russia's willingness to continue to act in the interests of the country and its people. This may reflect Russia's frustration with the U.S. posture in the crisis, believing that the U.S. has taken a cold and passive attitude toward Russia. Putin's statement provides the United States with room to choose, but it also expresses dissatisfaction with the lack of active dialogue between the United States.
In general, under the current international landscape, the Russia-Ukraine crisis is not only a regional conflict, but also a game between major powers. Putin's remarks have highlighted Russia's self-confidence and hardline stance in international affairs to a certain extent, and have also posed a series of new challenges for future crisis resolution and negotiations. The international community expects the United States to respond calmly, resolve disputes through dialogue and cooperation, avoid further escalation of the situation, and create more favorable conditions for regional peace and stability.
