In recent days, the situation in Ukraine has deteriorated again. Russia launched a large-scale attack on the entire Ukraine, destroying some of Ukraine's infrastructure and causing civilian casualties. Western countries condemned Russia as soon as possible. At the same time, the leaders of G7 (G7) also issued a statement announcing that they will continue to provide military support to Ukraine.
United Nations also couldn't sit still this time, and UN Secretary-General Guterres also claimed that he was deeply shocked by Russia's air strikes. UN Secretary-General spokesman Dugalick said Russia's military operations will lead to escalation of war. Objectively speaking, the United Nations' criticism of Russia is not unreasonable, but it will make the United Nations look very embarrassed.
As we all know, Russia has not attacked Ukrainian deep targets for several months, such as Kiev . The reason for military action this time is to retaliate against Ukrainian attack on Crimea Bridge on October 8. Ukraine and Russia attacked each other's deep targets that had little to do with the front line, indicating that the war has entered a white-hot stage.
The problem is that the Crimea Bridge is also a civilian target. When the bridge was bombed, neither the United Nations nor most Western countries made any comments, just as things had never happened. Now that Ukraine is being attacked by Russian airstrikes, they suddenly jumped out to express their "shock". Such a double standard cannot convince Russia, but it will also cause dissatisfaction from other countries, and will even lose the authority of the United Nations and bring long-term negative impacts.
At the same time, the United States and other Western countries are still fanning the flames and constantly increasing their military support for Ukraine. In addition to providing military assistance to Ukraine, NATO recently announced that it will hold an annual routine nuclear deterrent exercise next week to respond to Russia's military operations, which is likely to lead to the war's development to an uncontrollable level.
But the UN Secretary-General also did not make any statement. The UN's risk of abandoning nuclear war is ignored, but he is entangled in Russia's attack on Ukraine. The UN Secretary-General's approach will become a laughing stock in the world. Anyone who is concerned about the international situation knows that since Guterres took office, the authority of the United Nations has been declining and its influence in global affairs has become increasingly low.
In recent years, there have been various major events such as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the United States withdrew from Afghanistan , and the United States-British-Australia League of the United States-British-Australia's Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons , and the United Nations has basically not played much role. The United Nations is the largest intergovernmental international organization in the world today, with its purpose to maintain international peace. Only by taking active actions and mediating regional conflicts can the United Nations defend its authority.
From an objective perspective, the United Nations' binding force on major powers itself is relatively limited, but the previous two secretary-generals Ban Ki-moon and Annan are at least willing to conduct various mediations and fulfill their responsibilities as the head of the United Nations. During the Ukrainian War, the United Nations implemented double standards, which was a significant regression of the United Nations and a submission to the Western hegemony.
The Ukrainian War can continue until now, which is directly related to the fanning of the Western countries. As early as the end of March, Russia and Ukraine had reached a certain consensus, but then Western media began to exaggerate the so-called "Bucha Town Massacre incident". The peace talks between the two countries have been interrupted and the scale of the war has continued to expand.
The United Nations also has no binding force on the behavior of Western countries. Judging from the performance of the United Nations this time, it is basically impossible to expect them to mediate the Ukrainian war. The Ukrainian war lasted for more than eight months, from battlefield confrontation to attacking the other side's civil targets, there were indeed obvious signs of out-of-control. The international community is working hard to find various ways to avoid further escalation of the war.
On October 10, Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that China is concerned about the development of the situation in Ukraine and hopes that all parties will resolve their differences through dialogue.At the same time, countries such as Türkiye have also been mediating between Russia and Ukraine. In the case of the United Nations being weak and even being openly sluggish, only by relying on various responsible major powers can this protracted conflict end.
