After Russia launched the first wave of missile strikes on many places in Ukraine, Ukraine not only did not give an explanation about the attack on the Crimea Bridge, but actually sent a mass message to Western countries as soon as possible, demanding increased assistance and a head-on battle with Russia. Since Ukraine is determined to continue to fight, Russia takes advantage of the situation and strikes while the iron is hot, and once again launches intensive attacks on military command and energy facilities in Ukraine. According to Global Network citing foreign media reports, explosions occurred in many places in Ukraine, including Kiev , Odessa , Lviv and other places, which were hit one after another. Air defense alarms sounded throughout Ukraine, electricity, transportation, etc. were seriously affected, and the number of casualties was also increasing. Ukraine was forced to turn on the air defense system to respond.
In view of the current situation, Ukraine urgently needs to improve air defense issues, which is also the topic that Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Biden during the call. During the call, Biden condemned Russia's air strike against Ukraine, pledged to continue to provide security assistance to Ukraine and provide weapons including advanced air defense systems for Ukraine's self-defense. Biden stressed that the United States is working with its allies to force Russia to pay the price for this and provide Ukraine with security, economic and humanitarian assistance. Some media pointed out that the air defense system mentioned by Biden may be the NASAMS system previously promised to Ukraine.
A senior US official revealed that although the US has not announced new weapons to Ukraine, just like the previous delivery of thousands of "Sthorn" air defense systems to Ukraine, the US will urge allies to provide more air defense systems to Ukraine, and the US will continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment needed for self-defense. It is reported that the US has decided to deliver two NASAMS systems to Ukraine, and the delivery dates for the remaining 6 units are not yet determined.
Although mainstream opinions in the US political arena support White House to increase military aid to Ukraine, there are also voices of opposition. Some Republican members have complaints about the Biden administration's policy to Ukraine, and Republican Representative Gosar is one of them. Gosal said on his social media that the Biden administration should not provide foreign aid, especially to fund a war that the United States should not have been involved in. Biden and his criminal family may owe Zelensky, but the United States does not owe him anything.
The fact that Gosal refers to "the Biden family owes Zelensky" may be based on the views of conservative Americans, who believe that during the 2020 US presidential election, Zelensky refused to investigate Biden's son's corruption case in Ukraine, indirectly helping Biden win the election.
As a Republican lawmaker, Gosar pursues the "America First" concept of Trump . He is a staunch anti-interventionist and one of the most fierce critics of the Biden administration's policy toward Ukraine. Gosar voted against the two aid bills issued by the Biden administration in the past. There are many politicians in the Republican Party who hold the same position as Gosar. Republican Representatives Green and Gates and others believe that the United States does not need to take the risk of nuclear war to support Ukraine.
The politics of the two parties in the United States determines that the political arena is not an ironclad part. Even if it is the same government, the views of other departments of the US government often conflict with Biden's remarks. I don't know whether it is the "double act" within the US government, or whether the relevant US departments are specifically responsible for finding compensation for Biden. When responding to the Russian-Ukrainian issue, Kirby, the strategic communication coordinator of the White House National Security Committee, expressed his statement completely different from Biden. He called on Russia-Ukraine to hold peace talks and find a way out to resolve the Ukrainian crisis through diplomatic channels.
0 The Russian side has long seen through the hypocritical face of the US side. In response to the tricks played by White House officials, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova directly commented that the US's appeal is false and to achieve its own attempt through hypocrisy and disguise, with the goal of having an impact on the Russian strategy. Zakharova said that Russia is open to solving problems through diplomatic channels, and the conditions are on the table. However, the longer the US encourages Ukraine to carry out sabotage activities, the more difficult it is to seek a diplomatic solution to the problem.
Currently, Russia has escalated its attack intensity. The balance of the situation in Russia and Ukraine seems to be tilting towards Russia. Facing Russia, which is increasing its bets, it is time to test the determination of Ukraine and Western countries.
