By the time the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been fought, all parties should have been very tired, and most of the people of NATO countries are also quite tired of aiding Ukraine, and the related demonstrations are too many to count. But whether it is tired or tired, this does not mean that the conflict is over, after all, the war on the Russian-Ukrainian front has not stopped, and even from a war of attrition to a war of revenge. Not long ago, on Chinese New Year's Eve, drones and missiles took turns to play, adding some light to the dark night, but this light is not a good thing, Russia and Ukraine have suffered a lot of **, and the two sides have accused each other of fighting a "war of words". In fact, the current situation is quite unfavorable for Ukraine, and the US aid bill to Ukraine has been delayed by the Republican Party, but the battlefield cannot press the "pause button".
Seeing that Ukraine is gradually coming to the edge of the precipice, Britain chose to take action and provide Ukraine with two minehunters to help it get rid of Russia's blockade in the Black Sea. As a result, an interesting scene happened, NATO's "thorn" exerted its power, did not give Britain face at all, and pressed Britain's outstretched hand back. Recently, some ** said that the minehunter ship of the British aid to Ukraine has been allowed by Turkey to enter the Black Sea through the Turkish Strait, but this news was directly denied by Turkey**. The Turkish side stressed that this statement is unrealistic, and according to the provisions of the Montreux Strait Convention, in the event of war, Turkey must close the strait to the ships of the warring parties. Now that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is not over, Turkey cannot let Russian and Ukrainian ships pass, and of course, these two minehunters cannot enter the Black Sea from the Turkish straits. At the moment, Turkey has informed its allies about this news.
You must know that minehunters are specially used to detect, identify and destroy mines, which can be said to be non-offensive, and Britain has not declared war on Russia, so in the strict sense, Britain cannot be considered a belligerent. In this case, why does Turkey still refuse to allow minehunters to pass through the Turkish straits?To put it simply, Turkey does not want to offend Russia because of minehunters. It is true that Britain is not a belligerent, but what Britain has done in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has reached the standard of "actual participation in the war", and what will be the consequences if Turkey releases these two minehunters?The Black Sea has always been regarded by Russia as a zone of strategic interests, and once British forces enter the region, or even cause the balance of power in the Black Sea region to be disrupted, Russia is bound to make a counterattack
More importantly, Russia and Turkey also have natural gas cooperation projects, if successfully completed, Turkey can not only use more affordable **, buy Russian natural gas, but also collect tolls, which can be described as "people sit at home, money comes from the sky". With such a sure-fire business, there is no need for Turkey to offend Russia. Against Russia's NATO, there was a "thorn" to stir up the plan to aid Ukraine, it seems that in the face of interests, allies or everything are floating clouds. The failure of this aid operation to Ukraine may illustrate one thing, there is only one way left for Ukraine, which one?Peace talks!(Palin).
