The recent defeat of Ukraine has plunged the West into a huge tangle. The West is full of expectations for Ukraine's victory, especially hoping that Ukraine will have a say when it sits at the negotiating table, so as to force Russia to make some compromises and gain some room for the West to whitewash, so as not to end up too embarrassed on the battlefield. However, now Ukraine is in a situation of being passively beaten, and once it sits at the negotiating table, it is tantamount to surrender. But if the fight continues, there will not be much progress, this year's ** is already the "strongest wave" in Ukraine, but it was unable to break through the Russian defense line, but was pushed back by the Russian army. Therefore, continuing to inject capital into Ukraine's large-scale investments will only outweigh the losses, and when Ukraine finally concedes defeat, it will pay a much greater price. Against this background, a very shameless idea has emerged in the West, where they are thinking about "forcibly winning."
According to Russia's RT, Financial Times columnist Gideon Rahman quoted a former American ** as saying that even some of the most enthusiastic supporters of Ukraine have begun to discuss the need to convince Ukraine ** Zelensky to "accept the freezing of the conflict and declare victory over Russia**Putin". The former American ** stressed that the West must turn the tide and declare Putin defeated. Rahman explained that this idea of the West is completely to imitate the "38th parallel" model and freeze the conflict. While the underlying political issues have not been resolved, the West's goals can be achieved by forcibly declaring Ukraine's victory over Putin. Their logic is that as long as the war is not over, Putin's goals have not been achieved, so it can be said that Putin has failed, and then declares to the world that Ukraine is the victor by reversing black and white. This logic is actually very ridiculous, but the West is good at lying and deception, and they are able to control ** and get out of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict with dignity by distorting the facts. As for whether Ukraine really wins, they don't care too much.
Judging by the performance of the Ukrainian side, some recent moves are also aimed at achieving some symbolic victories. For example, let the Ukrainian army force the Dnieper River and try to occupy a small area of Russian positions on the other side of the river. Although this operation was not successful, even if it succeeded, it would have no substantive significance, because the Ukrainian army simply did not have the ability to control that small piece of position. But this does not prevent the Ukrainian side from publicizing it as "the Ukrainian army has broken through the defense line of the Russian army". Now it is difficult for the Ukrainian side to find any results for propaganda, so much so that even the destruction of a Russian tank has to be shown. It's all about creating an atmosphere of victory, but it doesn't mean much.
Previously, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had said that the Ukrainian army had won because Ukraine, after more than a year of war, was still able to continue fighting and continue to exist as a sovereign state. This is seen as a tailor-made standard of victory for Ukraine by the West. However, the reality is far from being so that Ukraine can continue to exist. It is true that the Ukrainian army has not been able to get results, so that Western politicians cannot find the bright spots in Ukraine. With such a mentality that it is almost impossible for Russia to make any compromises, and it is impossible for the world to truly believe that "Ukraine has defeated Russia."
After the defeat of Ukraine, the West is in a difficult and tangled position. They want Ukraine to win in the conflict, but the reality prevents them from doing so. In this case, the West began to consider a "forcible victory" scenario, that is, to change the situation by declaring a victory for Ukraine. However, this idea seems very ridiculous, lying and deceitful to achieve one's own goals does not change the actual situation of the war. At the same time, the Ukrainian side is trying to achieve some symbolic victories, but these victories have no real significance. In the absence of real results in Ukraine, the West's justification pales in comparison. In the end, all this will only put Ukraine in an even more difficult situation.
