Title: Frequent air strikes by Russia and Ukraine, war spreads to the Black Sea, who will bear international pressure? Recently, the Ukrainian army launched an airstrike on Crimea, and Russian air defense forces managed to shoot down 20 of these missiles. The incident has sparked widespread international concern and heightened concerns about tensions between Ukraine and Russia. The commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Lieutenant General Mykola Oreshchuk, thanked everyone involved in the removal of Russian forces in Crimea on social **. This statement seems to imply the intention of the Ukrainian army to strike at Russian military facilities in Crimea. However, it is not possible to confirm the authenticity of these messages at the moment, since some **and** show smoke rising from the vicinity of the Belibek airbase, but there is no conclusive evidence that this is caused by the Ukrainian army. The attack came a day after Ukrainian forces destroyed an important radar in Crimea.
The move was interpreted by some analysts as an attempt by the Ukrainian army to weaken Russia's military superiority in the region. It is worth mentioning that the Ukrainian army may have used the "Scarp-EG" cruise missiles aided by France this time. France's Macron recently announced a military aid package for Ukraine, including the delivery of 40 Scarp-EG cruise missiles and 78 Caesar self-propelled howitzers. However, the Ukrainian army's airstrike actions have raised fears of further escalation of the situation. The Crimea region has been a point of contention between Ukraine and Russia, and relations between the two countries have been strained for a long time. The airstrikes are likely to raise more questions and pressure on the international community about Ukraine's military operations. Tensions between Ukraine and Russia are not limited to the Crimea region. In recent years, there have also been frequent clashes in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine** accuses Russia of supporting local separatist forces, while Russia has repeatedly intervened militarily in Ukraine. This series of events has brought tensions between Ukraine and Russia into tensions. Currently, the international community has a different attitude towards the military operation in Ukraine. Some countries expressed support for Ukraine, believing that it has the right to defend its territorial integrity. Others, however, fear that Ukraine's military action could further escalate regional tensions and could lead to an international conflict. These countries called on Ukraine and Russia to resolve their dispute through dialogue and negotiation in order to avoid war. In the face of pressure from the international community, Ukraine and Russia need to carefully manage the current situation. The two sides should resolve their disputes through dialogue and negotiation to avoid further escalation of the military conflict. The international community should also intensify its good offices and mediation efforts to put Ukraine and Russia on the path to a peaceful settlement.
Tensions between Ukraine and Russia have been going on for a long time, not only causing enormous pressure within the two countries, but also posing a threat to regional and international security. How to calm down this crisis and get the two sides out of the deadlock is an important task facing the international community. Only through peaceful negotiations and cooperation can lasting stability be achieved and a brighter future for Ukraine and Russia. It is true that France's military assistance to Ukraine is relatively small, ranking only 15th among European powers. In contrast, countries such as the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland have provided greater military assistance to Ukraine. This caused discontent in Germany. Although France is the second largest economy in the European Union and the only country capable of conducting large-scale military operations outside its territory, its military assistance to Ukraine is relatively small.
Over the past two years, France has supplied Ukraine with 5400 million euros in military aid, ranking 15th in the Ramstein group. And Italy offers 6900 million euros in aid, ranking 13th. In contrast, countries such as the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland have provided Ukraine on a larger scale. The United States provided 43.9 billion euros in aid, Germany 17.1 billion euros, the United Kingdom 6.6 billion euros, and Poland 3 billion euros. This situation made Germany** dissatisfied with the "stinginess" of military aid from countries such as France, Italy and Spain. Despite the importance of countries such as France in Europe, the scale of their aid does not match their image as a great power. The report pointed out that this "stinginess" may be due to the fact that France and other countries are more cautious about the conflict in Ukraine and hope to solve the problem through diplomatic means. In addition, countries such as France may also devote more resources to domestic affairs, such as the restoration of economic and social development.
Overall, although countries such as France have received less military aid to Ukraine, this does not mean that they are not resolute in their attitude towards the conflict in Ukraine. Each country has different national interests and foreign policy considerations, and the treatment of Ukraine is therefore different.
