Title: Revealing the Secret of Zelensky's Dream Shattered: As soon as NATO collapses, Ukrainian aid is gone!
Hello everyone, I am the author of this blog on military international relations, and today I want to talk to you about a series of things that have recently happened in Ukraine. The whole situation can be described as stormy and worrying.
Background: First, let's review the current situation in Ukraine. Compared with the early days of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the current situation can be said to be more tricky. The Ukrainian army's summer ** was completely defeated in June this year, while the Russian army launched an offensive from multiple directions on the frontal battlefield, which put Ukraine under pressure. To make matters worse, U.S. and Western military aid to Ukraine has dropped by a full 90%. Military aid is the lifeblood of the war, and without this support, Ukraine will inevitably find itself in trouble.
Revealing Zelensky's trip to the United States:
In order to solve this dilemma, Ukrainian ** Zelensky personally went to the United States to hold talks with Biden, hoping to get a new round of aid. However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected. Zelensky suffered a series of bad news during his trip to the United States. First of all, the US Congress put forward conditions for aid, linking it to the border issue, asking Biden to implement "fundamental reforms" at the border, otherwise Ukraine does not want to receive any support. Secondly, about the United States ** next year, there is information that if Trump returns to the White House, he may let NATO dissolve. This also means that even if Ukraine can receive military aid, it may lose its "protective umbrella".
Trump's NATO dissolution rhetoric:
Regarding Trump's remarks, one can't help but wonder about his true intentions. There have been several references to the "dissolution of NATO", and there is an argument that this may be an attempt to push allies to increase their military budgets, rather than actually withdrawing from them. NATO is an important tool for the United States to maintain its hegemony in the world, and if it loses this organization, it will have a huge impact on the US hegemonic system. Mr. Trump may be creating bargaining chips for negotiations, after all, he has emphasized during his tenure that he has demanded more military spending from European allies.
Zelensky's dilemma:
In the United States, Zelensky did not receive the military aid he expected. Biden, while promising to assist Ukraine "as much as he can," ended up offering only 1$700 million in military aid. However, because the United States also needs to meet the military aid needs of other countries, such as Israel, Zelensky has no choice but to leave the United States. This makes Ukraine even more isolated in the face of Russia's challenge.
The direction of the Russia-Ukraine conflict:
With the sharp reduction in U.S. and Western military aid to Ukraine, there is a view that the time has come for Russia and Ukraine to renegotiate. However, compared to last year, the chips that Ukraine can come up with are very different. To remain neutral means not meeting Russia's expectations. Russia has made it clear that the Kiev authorities must accept the "territorial status quo", that is, recognize Crimea as part of Russia, agree with the results of the referendums on the accession of four eastern regions of Ukraine to Russia, and pledge not to join NATO.
The essence behind the situation:
Ultimately, we need to realize that the conflict between Ukraine and Russia is actually a confrontation between Russia and the United States and the West. And the Kyiv authorities only play the role of "** people" and cannot really take the lead in the conflict. In this case, Ukraine has lost its dominance in how and when to end the conflict.
This series of events is deeply worrying, especially since Ukraine is in such a difficult situation. NATO's future, U.S. support, and Russia's demands pose a complex puzzle. And how Zelensky and Ukraine can find a way out of this situation is a focus of attention. It is hoped that in the future, some factors will emerge that can bring about a turning point in this conflict, so that peace can be brought about in this tense war zone as soon as possible.
