Ukraine wants more than just a paper crane.
It's been a good year. 
On holidays, visiting relatives and friends, and giving each other a small gift to express their wishes, is a voluntary act.
It's normal to accept it.
For example, chrysanthemums should not be used for visiting patients, bells should not be used for the elderly, and the psychological expectations of the recipient should also be taken into account. Moreover, the gifts given should have some kind of noble or auspicious meaning in order to make both the guest and the guest happy. Otherwise, the gains outweigh the losses.
U.S. Ambassador to Japan Emanuel held a meeting with Ukrainian Representative to Japan Kosensky on February 21, Nippon TV reported.
In three days, the war between Russia and Ukraine will begin. Emanuel told Kosensky that the United States will firmly support Ukraine, and in response to the U.S. obstruction of Ukrainian funding, Emanuel said, "Both parliamentary parties will not give up on the Ukrainian people." Kosensky expressed his gratitude for this, and he believes that with Biden's leadership and bipartisan efforts, [Ukraine] can get through the tough times with the aid it gets.
During the day's meeting, Emanuel also gave gifts to Kosensky. To be honest, this surprise was really not ordinary, it was a Ukrainian flag, on which were woven from thousands of paper cranes.
Emanuel also made a special note that the 1,000-paper crane was folded by himself and the staff of the Japanese Embassy in the United States and their families.
Emmanuel also proudly said that according to Japanese custom, the use of paper cranes can fulfill one of people's wishes.
Kosensky accepted such a "precious" gift, saying that the thousand paper cranes represented peace and hoped that it would bring peace.
Hehe, Americans are really interesting.
Japanese netizens saw that the beautiful country was talking nicely, so they began to make up nonsense and ridiculed:
Ukraine: I don't want a thousand paper cranes, but one paper crane.
USA: What did you just say?
Ukraine: No, thank you. ”
It also makes sense that Japanese netizens were able to come up with such ingenious jokes.
In Noto, Japan, the intensity of a game is 7The Rank 6 Big ** will erupt in Noto on January 1 next year. As of January 15, 236 people have been killed and 19 are missing. It is estimated that Ishikawa, Toyama and Niigata prefectures suffered a total of 11 trillion to 26 trillion yen in direct economic losses.
Emmanuel, the U.S. ambassador to Japan, said on January 4 on behalf of the United States that he would send $100,000 in relief supplies to Japan.
As the most powerful country in the world, the United States allocated 100,000 US dollars to Japan, is this bullying beggars?
And Emanuel also published an article in English and Japanese: "The United States stands with Japan in the face of the disaster, and after the destructive **, we quickly came up with a $100,000 rescue package." ”
Let's take a look at the Ukrainian flag made of paper cranes on the 21st, which is a Ukrainian flag given to the Ukrainian Embassy in Japan by the US Ambassador to Japan Emmanuel. This is against the sky!
What are Ukraine's most pressing needs right now? Even a fool can guess that it is a currency.
Speaking at the 60th National Security Conference in Munich on 17 February, Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine was almost openly asking for military assistance from the Western world like the United States.
Zelenskyy told U.S. News that he was frank and said that Russia would destroy us, as long as the U.S. left Ukraine to fend for itself.
Zelensky is not only the boss of the United States, but also the day before the Munich Security Conference, that is, on February 15, he made a brief visit to Germany and France, and the two sides signed a security treaty, the most important of which is to ask for money.
Under the agreement, Germany will provide focused support to Ukraine in the military, political, financial and humanitarian security areas over the next 10 years, and will provide Ukraine with military aid totalling more than 7 billion euros by 2024.
France has pledged that by 2024 Ukraine will receive three billion dollars worth of external military aid, as well as assistance in the areas of cooperation in the defense industry, information and training.
It's just that how much of his promise can be realized, and whether it is enough to successfully get it into his account? There are many uncertainties about the opposition of many European farmers to the EU's agricultural policy, the economic downturn, people's livelihood difficulties, and the "fatigue" of Russia and Ukraine.
Both the EU and NATO have expressed their support for Ukraine, and they certainly will not watch the United States flex its muscles in front of them.
European Council President Ursula von der Leyen told the press that the actions of the European Union will prompt the United States to do its best to save Ukraine. Earlier, the European Parliament adopted a new agreement worth $5 billion on aid to Ukraine.
Zelensky also told the United States in a televised speech that the European Union had given assurances and that the Ukrainian side would patiently await the US ruling.
German leader Olaf Scholz arrived in Washington on February 8, and during a meeting with Biden, he reiterated the importance of providing military support to Ukraine and urged the U.S. Congress to pass a bill on economic relief for Ukraine.
Ironically, it was the United States that urged Germany, France and other European countries to increase their support for Ukraine.
However, what embarrassed Biden is that the U.S. Congress, a day after Scholz's visit to Russia on February 7, voted to pass a "$118 billion bill", which includes funding for U.S. border control and foreign teams, and about 60 billion in this bill is used to help Ukraine.
As of 13 February, the Democratic-dominated Senate of the United States has approved a "foreign aid bill" totaling $95 billion, which will also provide $60 billion in aid to Ukraine, but US House of Representatives spokesman Mike Johnson said on February 12 that the bill could not be passed.
Even on February 14, Mike Johnson decided to vote on the aid bill for Ukraine, postponing it by Congress for two weeks.
This means that the US Congress has allocated a billion dollars in the final plan for aid to Ukraine in 2023, but so far, the US Congress has not passed a single bill to aid Ukraine in 2024.
Judging from the war statistics, the number of ammunition per day of the Ukrainian army has been reduced from the original 20,000 to 30,000 rounds to less than 2,000 rounds in the near future.
For the more than 1,000-kilometer-long war between Russia and Ukraine, these ammunition can't even be counted as stuffing their teeth, which means that the Ukrainians have fallen into a situation of "running out of ammunition and food".
Since December, Ukraine has experienced disruptions and shutdowns of U.S. military aid, and Europe has not had enough military aid. For Zelenskyy, as well as Ukraine, getting tangible military assistance from the United States as soon as possible is their top priority.
Then, an interesting scene happened.
Imagine that the Ukrainian ambassador to Japan, Kosensky, sends a Ukrainian flag woven from thousands of paper cranes to Kyiv, and Zelensky will definitely say:
Come up with something substantial, such a "gift" simply does not exist on the battlefield!
