From the beginning of the resolute attitude towards Ukraine's aid, to defeat Russia and knock it to the ground, to the current goal to help Ukraine gain more bargaining chips and initiative in negotiations, the goal of Western countries' aid is slipping. After more than 600 days of conflict, Russia has not felt fatigued, on the contrary, their ability to innovate in equipment has increased, and their comprehensive strength has become stronger, which has put pressure on the West. And the West is exhausted, and no one believes in the victory over Russia anymore. Therefore, the current focus is on protecting Ukraine's interests in negotiations with Russia, minimizing losses as much as possible. Although aid from Western countries has been reduced on a large scale and has become less and less, Ukraine will still receive some small amounts of aid. Zelensky** has asked the three Baltic countries for funding and received 200 million euros in aid, but the aid from other countries is only a drop in the bucket. For example, 155% of the 155mm howitzer shells that the United States originally supplied to Ukraine were diverted to Israel. There have also been delays in the provision of fighter jets by other countries, and for a while they have not been given. The Netherlands promised to supply Ukraine with 18 aircraftf-16FightersSo far there have been no deliveries, and Denmark was originally going to supply 19 aircraftf-16FightersIt was also delayed for 6 months. Western aid is falling off a cliff, and if Ukraine is not allowed to feel aid, I am afraid that it will be dissatisfied with Western countries, because Western countries have been providing a lot of support to Ukraine until then, for which Ukraine has paid a huge price.
Ukraine is currently on a long front with Russia, and the standoff between the two sides is very tense. The Russian offensive is very intense, and Ukraine is temporarily unable to make significant progress on the front line and can only accept the reality of the occupied territories. The long war has made Ukraine's territory smaller and has cost huge financial and human resources, but Ukraine has never received a satisfactory answer - what is this war for? Ukraine has always had doubts about this and has not found a clear answer.
Western countries have chosen Ukraine as the first person to conflict with Russia, and the goal of the war is to weaken Russia and make it fall into a state of exhaustion and weakness by making Russia consume blood capital in great power competition. However, the reality shows that the RussianMilitaryThe strength and innovation capacity is stronger than expected by Western countries. Russia is building nuclear submarines, strategic missile submarines, and attack nuclear submarines, and there will be a batch of new Su-57s by the end of this yearFightersIn service, and new missiles are being introduced one after another. Recently inKievIn various strike operations carried out, Russia has demonstrated the ability to use drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles in an integrated mannerThe ability to innovate and the speed of production far exceed the expectations of Western countries. In addition, the instructions of the intercepted Russian missiles specifically state that these missiles were produced in the fourth quarter of last year, indicating Russia's interest in the newproduction was not affected. At the same time, Ukraine is demonstrating the Russian KH-101Cruise missilesThe final section liberated jamming shells, which also showed the ability of Russia to innovate in terms of strike mode. These developments are frightening for the West, because if Russia retaliates and targets countries that have equipped and supported them, the European region is likely to be in mourning.
In the face of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Western countries' assistance to Ukraine has shifted from the initial focus to protecting Ukraine's interests in negotiations, and Western countries' confidence and enthusiasm for defeating Russia have gradually faded. Recognizing that it is almost impossible to defeat Russia, Western countries have adjusted their strategic goals. They hope to weaken Russia through Ukraine, but now Russia's growing power worries Western countries, realizing that their aid can no longer change the tide of the war between Ukraine and Russia. Therefore, they decided to change their goals and strive to gain more leverage and initiative for Ukraine in the negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. Now the manner and outcome of the negotiations have become crucial for Ukraine, and Western countries hope to win better results through negotiations and protect Ukraine's interests in the negotiations.
In the face of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the aid goals and attitudes of Western countries have changed. Thanks to the Russian oneMilitaryThe strength and innovation capacity exceeded expectations, and Western countries realized that they could not defeat Russia. Therefore, they adjusted their tactics and shifted their focus to protecting Ukraine's interests in the negotiations. Ukraine is bogged down in the face of the Russian conflict, and for Ukraine, the goals and meaning of the war have become obscure. Western countries believe that by supporting Ukraine's conflict with Russia, Russia can weaken its strength and energy, putting it at a disadvantage in the great power competition. However, Russia is inEquip andMilitaryThe performance of innovation has exceeded the expectations of Western countries, which is worrying Western countries. Russia is inKievCarried out a strike that showed formidableMilitarycapacity and the ability to innovate, which frightens Western countries. Although Western aid is falling off a cliff, they still hope to negotiate more benefits for Ukraine and protect Ukraine's position in the negotiations.
However, in the situation of the ongoing confrontation between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine'sMilitaryProgress has been very limited and the reality of the occupied territories can only be accepted. This has led Ukraine to think about the purpose and meaning of this war, without yet finding a clear answer. The downward revision of Western countries' aid targets and the adjustment of strategic objectives for the Russia-Ukraine conflict have weakened Western countries' confidence and enthusiasm for defeating Russia.
To sum up, the goal of Western countries' assistance to Ukraine has slipped, and due to the strength of Russia and the predicament of the war in Ukraine, Western countries have decided to fight for more benefits for Ukraine in negotiations. But Ukraine needs to recognize that victory over Russia is almost impossible and think about the purpose and meaning of this war in order to find a clearer direction and a way out. In this process, Ukraine can seek ways to resolve the conflict peacefully and strengthen withInternationalSocial cooperation and interaction. Passed withInternationalWith the cooperation of organizations and countries, Ukraine can receive more assistance and support to cope with the current difficult situation. At the same time, Ukraine also needs to strengthen its ownMilitarystrength and defense capability to protect the security of their own territory and people. Through these efforts, Ukraine can achieve a better outcome in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and find a more stable and lasting solution.
