The latest news shows that Ukraine's aid resources are drastically reduced, and the scale of Western countries' aid to it has dropped significantly, and it may even exhaust all aid resources. How did Ukraine survive the moment when aid was in dire straits?Obviously, this will affect the development of the international situation. The United States** even bluntly said that aiding Ukraine is helping the United States. What the hell is going on?According to data from the German "Institute for the World Economy" (IFW), the amount of aid from Western countries to Ukraine fell by 90% year-on-year, and the number of aid countries has also been reduced by more than half. This has undoubtedly made Ukraine's situation worse and faced with the dilemma of urgent aid. And according to John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications at the U.S. Committee, Ukraine will run out of all aid resources in the coming weeks. In this regard, Putin is about to reap a "complete victory", while US Secretary of State Blinken said that aiding Ukraine is helping the United States. Secretary Blinken said that 90% of the aid to Ukraine is actually used to produce aid to Ukraine in the United States, which creates more opportunities for manufacturing and economic growth in the United States.
Therefore, he stressed that the United States needs to continue to provide military support to Ukraine, because by assisting Ukraine is helping the United States. This public statement has sparked widespread heated discussions, which makes people wonder why aiding Ukraine is equivalent to helping the United StatesIn fact, U.S. aid to Ukraine is not just a simple act of charity, but also a self-interested expression of its geopolitical stance. International relations experts point out that Ukraine, as an important geopolitical pawn, will have a direct impact on the influence and interests of the United States in Eastern Europe. Therefore, the United States has not only benefited from Ukrainian aid, but also strengthened its geopolitical layout in Europe through Ukraine. In addition, in the long run, the U.S. assistance and equipment will also provide Ukraine with better self-defense capabilities, thereby increasing the degree of stability in the region to a certain extent. And this stabilization will also be in line with the geopolitical goals of the United States, so it can be said that aiding Ukraine is also helping the United States to safeguard its own geopolitical interests. However, the US Secretary of State's statement also caused a lot of controversy. Some people believe that the reason why the United States places so much emphasis on aiding Ukraine is to help itself implies a kind of "beggar-thy-neighbor" self-interested behavior.
Others believe that the United States, while safeguarding its own geopolitical interests by assisting Ukraine, has also contributed to Ukraine's development and stability to a certain extent. To sum up, behind the aid to Ukraine is a complex geopolitical game and the interweaving of the interests of various countries. How to look at the Ukraine issue also needs to be more objective and rational, and it cannot simply be reduced to "aiding Ukraine is helping the United States", but should take more into account regional stability and development. We also need to think more about the changes in the international situation and the behavior of various countries. The United States has provided military aid to Ukraine, but it has encountered a series of problems. On the one hand, Washington is short on time, and if it fails to provide assistance in a short period of time, Ukraine may fall into an irreparable predicament. On the other hand, the United States is not unwilling, but involved in more complex international political considerations. The Russia-Ukraine conflict does not exist in isolation, and it contains more international strategic games. First of all, given the stabilization of Sino-Russian relations, is the Russia-Ukraine conflict still worth investing a lot of resources?Second, Putin holds the "big card in the Middle East" to force the United States to make a deal with Russia, and Washington also needs to make trade-offs on the Middle East issue.
In addition, European countries have also suffered badly from the Ukraine issue, and they hope that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will end as soon as possible. Thus, the issue of U.S. aid to Ukraine is not just because Congress has not approved it, but because of complex political, diplomatic, and strategic considerations. Why did the United States suspend military aid to Ukraine, and what are the complex factors behind this?This is not only the result of domestic political struggle, but also the inevitable development of the international situation. In response to the situation of the United States and Russia negotiating to end the conflict in Ukraine, why is Blinken still asking Congress to approve military aid to Ukraine?In fact, this involves complex diplomatic games and strategic calculations. Just like the "fight and talk" during the Korean War, the United States today is also preparing for peace talks while retaining the military option, which is why there is no contradiction between suspending military aid and preparing to abandon Ukraine.
