After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yeltsin was very up-to-the-road, and even developed to lick the United States and the West, but Western countries still kept throwing bait, bent on playing Russia to death, and the same was true after Putin came to power, putting down his posture to curry favor with the United States, trying to have good relations with the United States and the West, and when he met the NATO Secretary General, he joked: "When will Russia be invited to join NATO."
As a result, the NATO Secretary General was not ambiguous: you go and write the application, and leave it to me for approval.
Later, he explained to Putin that he was joking, and this international joke became bigger.
Moreover, applications have not yet been received from Russia, but from several countries that became independent after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The NATO Secretary General approved the application in one go, only this time it did not approve Ukraine.
NATO's reason is that Ukraine's second **Kuchma was commanded**and**, and was also suspected of being sold to Iraq**, and Ukraine lost the best opportunity to join NATO.
On the one hand, Ukraine has that long border with Russia, and there are nearly 10 million Russians living there, and his Black Sea Fleet is still stationed in Ukraine.
Since Kuchma insisted on staying up until the end of his term, Russia and Western countries are making efforts to support those who are on the same side as him to come to power. As a result, the Ukrainians themselves divided into two factions and almost started a civil war.
In the end, it was the pro-Western Yushchenko who won, and Putin's money was spent in vain, but since then he has been haunted by Ukraine's accession to NATO.
And NATO has been using Ukraine as a bargaining chip to pinch Putin, and it has developed into a "Russian-Ukrainian war" after a while.
Finally dragged Russia into the flames of war, so that there would be more excuses for the wealth of Russia in the world to isolate Russia.
When Russia and Ukraine started the war, Russia loved the house and Ukraine did not engage in indiscriminate bombing like Israel, so it was in a passive situation, so Western countries spared no effort to aid Ukraine**, and also sanctioned Russia economically.
As a result, Russia did not drag down, but bottomed out its own inventory, and Ukraine's threatened counterattack in 2023 was completely deflated, and it lost Avdiivka in 2024, and the situation is favorable to Russia.
Some Western countries have begun to express their hope for peace talks, hoping that the two countries can solve the problem at the negotiating table, but Ukraine ** and another part of the West are opposed to negotiations, so that they don't know why, do they want to fight or want to talk?
In fact, this is the cunning of the West. The peace talks and the rhetoric that appeared in the West are for another purpose, and they hope that the Russian side will stop the special military operation in exchange for a respite, concentrate on continuing to arm Ukraine, and let it accumulate strength before launching the next **.
Isn't this trick used by Israel on the battlefield between Palestine and Israel?
The West does not really want to negotiate with Russia, but wants to suspend the conflict. For some time before, it was also rumored that Western countries had suggested shelving the territorial dispute and that the two sides would cease fire and truce, but not end the war.
In other words, after Ukraine recovers, it can continue to fight.
In 2014, when the West launched a color revolution in Ukraine, the armed conflict in Donbass broke out. At that time, Western countries promoted the "Minsk Agreement", allowing Russia not to use force during the continuation of the agreement, and constantly arming Ukraine and training the Ukrainian army, which finally caused the Russian-Ukrainian war.
This is not a conjecture, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel herself said: the signing of the Minsk Agreements is only to suspend the conflict and buy time to arm Ukraine.
Putin was very disappointed with Merkel's remarks, in fact, the relationship between the two is very good, and the cooperation between the two countries is also very deep, and as a result, Merkel deceived Putin.
In response to Merkel's remarks, Putin used to explain why it was necessary to launch a military operation against Ukraine.
Now that Russia has the upper hand, will it let Western countries deceive again, it is obviously not so easy.
Even if it talks, at least a definite result is needed, for example, Ukraine admits the results of Russia's military operation, and to put it bluntly, it has to actually cede the land.
Because there have been lessons from the past, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West and Russia have reached many agreements on the security of Ukraine, but in fact, those agreements have not worked, and finally dragged Russia and Ukraine into the war.
This fight is two years, and Russia will not give up easily. After all, once the war machine stops, it will be difficult to start again.
As the war situation Zhang Ju said: Putin's diplomacy is also simple, there is nothing to say, Ukraine, as a former ally, is a neighbor who colludes with foreign countries to make trouble, so it has to be spanked, and Ukraine must have a clear attitude, don't pull NATO and the United States to threaten itself.
We have to buy decades of stable development time for Russia, and it will be difficult for Western countries to fool Russia again!
