The regional turmoil caused by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has turned the situation between Russia and Ukraine upside down in a short period of time. After the United States was unable to continue to provide support to the Ukrainian army, Ukraine's situation plummeted and it had to face strong pressure from Russia.
Russia moved quickly, and the important city of Avdeyevka, Ukraine, has been captured by the Russian army, and the Ukrainian army has retreated on all fronts. The United States and Europe were anxious and acted quickly, and the European Union approved the 13th round of sanctions against Russia, and even added Chinese companies to the sanctions list, a move that raised questions about whether it was trying to pull China along in order to pressure Russia.
At the same time, the United States is also mulling to expand sanctions against Russia and has set its sights on Chinese companies. However, this approach can be counterproductive and can harm one's own interests.
Inside Ukraine, the political situation is also very chaotic. Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov criticized Zelensky's illegal postponement, considering such behavior a sign of weakness. He said that if it is held, Zelensky will be ousted.
At the same time, the opposition in Ukraine began to become active. Some say desperate military men may revolt, and they are outraged by the corruption of **. The morale of the Ukrainian army is already low, and the incompetence of ** is a disappointment.
Internationally, Russia is also actively seeking support. It is reported that Iran has provided a large amount of ** support to Russia, which worries the United States and its allies. On the other hand, Russia has also stepped up its military operations on the front line, which has exacerbated the crisis in Ukraine.
In general, the development of the Ukrainian crisis is beyond the control of the United States and Europe, and Russia has seized the initiative. If Zelensky does not accept Russia's conditions, Ukraine will face even more serious consequences. The future will depend on Russia's strength, not on the will of the United States and Europe.
