According to the news released by the Ukrainian ** "RBC", the Ukrainian Ministry of Intelligence declared: Ukraine ** went deep into Siberia and successfully blew up the Baikal-Amur trunk line, paralyzing the "only important railway between China and Russia". The "operation" was carried out by the Ukrainian Bureau, and at the same time, the relevant agencies said: after the victory, the "commander" behind the scenes will be revealed. From here, it can be understood that the current ** is just the beginning, and there may be more similar ** events along this route in the future. It is reported that on this 15-kilometer railway, Ukraine laid out 4 explosives packages.
China-Russia railway first: Ukraine claims to be "paralyzing the only important railway between China and Russia", and directly mentions China by name, which looks like a "warning" to China. After the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China did not heed the US call to impose comprehensive sanctions on Russia, but continued to deepen cooperation, which contributed to the accelerated construction of many projects in the Far East. It is reported that in September, Russia's Putin publicly said: Today, we hereby announce that we will entrust the vast land in the Far East to China for development. At the same time, 1 trillion rubles will be provided as "funds" for the development of the Far East. From here, it can be seen that during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the cooperation between China and Russia has become more extensive.
Second, although Ukraine has received support from the West, over time, it has been found that Russia has not experienced the "expected" decline, but has begun to climb, and the overall economic strength has returned to the top ten in Europe, and Putin recently announced a significant increase in the military budget for 2024. A lot of evidence confirms that this conflict has not made Russia "depressed", and it may be that Ukraine believes that the problem lies with China, India and other countries that insist on maintaining normal exchanges with Russia, so they intend to obstruct Sino-Russian cooperation by sabotaging the railway. Personal speculation: Ukraine is likely to harbor this idea, using the way of blowing up the railroad to scare China and deter other countries from Russia.
China-Russia Railway Third: From a strategic point of view, Ukraine's move may also be "grandstanding". As we all know, the West is hostile to China and Russia, and the United States is always trying to find ways to restrict and sanction China and Russia. At present, the damage brought by Ukraine to Russia is "constantly decreasing", and it is difficult to win the support of the West, so Kyiv may be planning to directly show its hostility to China and become the "cannon fodder" of the West against China, so as to gain more Western attention and a lot of resources. To put it bluntly: Ukraine is using "hostility towards China" in exchange for the trust and support of the West.
This behavior of the Sino-Russian railway is a bit of a "fire in the fire", and it is an established fact that Ukraine cannot defeat Russia, and no one should doubt this today, right? Western politicians also see the future of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, so they have drastically cut aid to Ukraine. For example, the United States only provided $100 million in aid to Ukraine before, which is self-evident compared with the previous $10 billion difference. In this case, Ukraine's choice to "touch" China may have unexpected effects, but Ukraine is already a "broken jar", so it naturally doesn't care about offending one more China.
