Observer Network reported on December 6 that the G7 leader invited Ukraine's ** Zelensky to participate in the meeting on the same day, and issued a joint statement, urging China to put pressure on Russia to stop military aggression against Ukraine, and declared that it would continue to support Zelensky's so-called "peace negotiation formula" and demand that Russia "unconditionally withdraw its troops" from Ukraine.
At the same time, the White House also stressed that it will not try to "dictate" Zelensky on the Ukraine issue, trying to cover up the previous remarks of the United States and European countries lobbying for peace talks in Ukraine and warning to replace Zelensky.
While thanking the G7 group for its support, Zelensky did not forget to climb the pole, declaring that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is not only related to the fate of Ukraine, but also to the fate of Europe, and urged the EU to fulfill its commitments to Ukraine and ratify Ukraine's accession.
At first glance, could it be that the United States and Western countries have changed their minds and plan to continue to support Ukraine?But a closer look reveals that this is not the case at all.
The leaders of the G7 parties connected with Zelensky, which is a rare meeting in Ukraine so far in the summer, but the United States and the West are not to support Ukraine, but to push Zelensky out and take the blame for the failure of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
The G7 unconditionally supports Ukraine and does not make any demands, which also means from another perspective that Ukraine's loss of the territory of the four eastern regions of Ukraine, the death of 300,000 Ukrainian troops, and the push of minors to the battlefield are not instigated by the United States and Europe, but Zelensky's insistence on going his own way.
The G7 stressed that whether it is war or peace, they will not "dictate" Zelensky, which means that the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks have not appeared for a long time, and it is not a problem for the United States and Europe, and it is still Zelensky's unilateral decision.
Even if Ukraine can't survive this winter and chooses to negotiate peace with Russia, the United States and the West will not stop it, and will only ask Zelensky to repay the price of Western aid to Ukraine. After all, it has been said from the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that aid to Ukraine will be paid, and now that Ukraine is defeated, the losses of the West will naturally be borne by Ukraine.
This set of concoctions**, and then the process of throwing the pot is too familiar to the United States and the West.
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered its second winter, and as long as the United States and the West do not increase aid, then Ukraine has no possibility of winning against Russia on the battlefield. It has been half a year since the summer big **, and the Ukrainian army has exhausted the hoarded NATO**, but it can't even get a decent record.
It is worth noting that on the day of the meeting between the G7 leaders and Zelensky, the US Senate vetoed a bill to provide a total of more than $100 billion in aid to Ukraine and Israel. In other words, Zelensky only received verbal promises from Western countries, and did not receive a dime. Although Germany has recently provided a small amount of supplies, a few thousand artillery shells and border guards are not even enough to consume in a day.
On the contrary, Russia, three major actions in succession has made Russia jump out of the whirlpool of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and begin to focus on planning Russia's next development.
On the political front, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov successfully attended the OSCE summit and several Western countries met with him individually, which was seen by the outside world as the first step for NATO to be willing to engage with Russia.
At the same time, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said a few days ago that relations between Russia and NATO are unlikely to be restored in the near future, and the possibility of armed conflict with NATO cannot be ruled out, which depends entirely on NATO's actions. In other words, Russia is no longer worried about the outcome of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but is focusing on the actions of NATO countries.
On the military front, Putin signed relevant bills to significantly increase military spending, and Russia's defense spending in 2024 will increase by 70% compared with 2023. In addition, Russia has also massively expanded its army and increased its army by 200,000 troops, which means that Russia's ground forces will expand to a behemoth of 1.3 million troops.
On the economic front, Putin personally visited Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where the two sides agreed to strengthen defense cooperation, expand cooperation in the oil and gas field, and called on all OPEC+ members to join the production cut agreement to boost the global economy. After all, frequent regional conflicts have had a serious impact on international oil prices, and Putin needs to unite with major oil-producing countries to stabilize oil prices so as not to lose money.
In terms of natural gas exports, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak recently said that the total amount of natural gas delivered to China will reach 100 billion cubic meters in 2025. Even at the peak of Russia's gas transmission to Europe, the annual capacity was no more than that, so China received enough energy and Russia also made a lot of money.
In addition, Gazprom*** and Turkish oil and gas companies are in contact to maintain close cooperation on gas hub projects, which means that European countries have come full circle and finally bought Russian gas.
In short, Russia's three major actions are all developing upward, but Zelensky has been reduced to a "man behind the pot", if Zelensky is given another chance, I wonder if he will still believe in Western countries?
