The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered its 28th day. It has been four weeks. The fighting continues. Outside the battlefield, conflicts between Russia and the Western camp continue. The West did not dare to send troops to join the war, but only dared to impose sanctions on Russia, and even robbed Russia's overseas assets in the name of sanctions. Naturally, Russia could not bear it, and it also launched a policy of retaliation against the West, such as: using rubles to repay foreign debts, Prepare to confiscate Western assets in Russia.
The war has not stopped yet
Now Russia has no intention of giving in to the West. It has already come up with its "killer trumpet" and adopted a tough-on-tough attitude towards the West. It refuses to compromise with the West, which has become a tactic that causes headaches for the West. Now Russia has taken action to deal with Japan first. Japan's status in the Western camp is not high. Japan is a small role and openly dares to speak rudely to Russia. This makes Putin feel quite disgusted, so it is natural to give priority to the attack.
Now Putin refuses peace negotiations between Russia and Japan. On March 21, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that due to Japan’s unfriendly behavior, which not only openly participated in sanctions against Russia, but also continued to provide military assistance to Ukraine , Russia decided to refuse to negotiate with Russia. Japan continues negotiations on a peace treaty. It also withdrew from exchanges with Japan on joint economic activities in the Southern Kuril Islands . The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Japan bears all the responsibility for undermining Russian-Japanese cooperation.
Japanese Prime Minister
Russia and Japan have been unable to sign a peace treaty after the end of World War II. Japan's request to return the four disputed islands between Japan and Russia has become a bottleneck. Now the Russian side has stopped talking, ending the possibility of Japan claiming the islands. sex. Japan has been entangled with Russia for decades over the issue of the four northern islands. Now Russia suddenly pulled out the ladder and stopped talking to Japan about this issue. This is an important setback. So much so that Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said in the Japanese Senate : "This is an extremely unfair approach, absolutely unacceptable, and we strongly protest." But what's the use of protesting? The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that Japan bears all the responsibility for undermining Russian-Japanese cooperation.
Putin will not retreat
Russia will also withdraw from the World Trade Organization . On March 21, the Just Russia Party in the Russian State Duma submitted a proposal for Russia to withdraw from the World Trade Organization . In response to the West's escalating sanctions and threats, it demonstrates its firm determination to safeguard its own security interests and not surrender to the West. At present, Russia's toughness in foreign affairs is very obvious. There is no main force problem in passing this bill. Russia's journey to join the WTO has been quite long. It only officially became its 156th member state in August 2012. Now that it has decided to withdraw, it seems quite resolute.
Now Russia is saying to the West: No, threatening the West by withdrawing from the WTO, and has made a combination of punches. Definitely not good news for the West. The WTO is a system developed for the West. Russia's withdrawal from it may lead other countries to withdraw as well. Eventually, the WTO will exist in name only. Breaking the West's control over the world is the key point.
Russia has no possibility of surrendering to the West.
Now Russia has no intention of making concessions to the West. It has truly implemented toughness against toughness. It is definitely a heavy blow to the Western camp. Maybe the subsequent impact is the real point, maybe in a short period of time. Nothing can be seen from inside, but in the long run, the price the West has to pay for this will far exceed that of Russia.
