Since Ukraine released the signal that it was preparing to "recover" Donbas by force a few days ago, the Ukrainian army has been gathering heavy troops in the eastern Ukrainian region in recent days, intending to expand the civil war and end the domestic chaos as soon as possible. Although Russian Defense Minister Shoigu had previously issued a clear threat of nuclear weapons, the Ukrainian government has not stopped its military deployment in eastern Ukraine. Until today (March 11), the situation in eastern Ukrainian areas completely deteriorated, and large-scale exchanges of fire between the Ukrainian army and militia in Donetsk and Luhansk areas.
related reports show that regarding the ongoing large-scale firefighting, Ukraine and Eastern Ukrainian armed forces accused each other of the other side of tearing up the ceasefire agreement first, while Russia strongly demanded that both sides immediately ceasefire and re-comply with the ceasefire agreement, otherwise necessary measures will be taken to prevent the situation in Donbas from escalating. However, since the exchange of fire, the United States and Europe have not made any relevant statements. However, judging from NATO's dispatch of an officer group to visit Ukraine, the United States and Europe are supportive of the Zelensky government's move to "recover" Donbas.
In fact, Ukraine's expansion of civil war and US-European support are foreseeable. The main reason is that the "director" who directed comedian Zelensky was replaced with Biden . You should know that in Biden's view, Trump's four years in power have implemented the " appeasement policy" against Russia, and his undefined diplomatic policy has eased Russia-EU relations to a certain extent, so Biden must take measures to prevent traditional allies from turning to Russia, and this pawn is Ukraine that obeys the will.
Speaking of fundamentally speaking, director Biden's escalation of the Ukrainian civil war is nothing more than to achieve four goals. On the one hand, strengthen control over Europe. After all, as long as the relationship between Russia and Europe deteriorates, a large group of traditional European allies can rely more on the US military protection. Based on the current situation, the expansion of armed war between Ukraine and eastern Ukraine will undoubtedly cause Russia to be dissatisfied with countries that support Zelensky, and the rapid deterioration of Russia-Europe relations has enabled Biden to achieve the goal of strengthening control of Europe.
On the other hand, it intends to cut off the "lifeline" from Russia to Europe - the Nord Stream-2 natural gas pipeline project. As we all know, the economic situation in Russia is very bad due to the sanctions of Western countries, which can be said to be difficult to match its status as a major power. In this context, exporting natural gas, oil and other resources has become an important pillar of Russia's economic development. Therefore, the Biden administration is willing to incite the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine to prevent the Nord Stream 2 project and further blockade the Russian economy.
What is more important is that once the war in eastern Ukraine expands, Russia must take out his hands to deal with it. This is equivalent to Biden tying Putin's hand, causing Russia to lose some of its voice on other international issues. Similarly, Russia always keeps eye on the war in eastern Ukraine, which will inevitably delay its established development plan, and to some extent it has strengthened the extreme pressure on Russia.
Of course, Biden's blockade of the Nord Stream-2 project is not entirely planning to strengthen the blockade of the Russian economy, because once the Russian-European natural gas pipeline is opened, the US shale gas will completely lose the European market. Therefore, for the interests of the financial backers, Biden has no reason not to take tough measures. This is the fundamental reason why Trump is also trying hard to crack down on the Nord Stream-2 project. It can be seen that the US government's most priority service targets are those capitalists.
However, compared with Trump who only uses sanctions to bind Europe and prevent the Nord Stream-2 project, Biden's methods are indeed more bizarre and ruthless, and it can even be said that he does not care about the national interests of Ukraine at all. To put it bluntly, Ukraine's expanded civil war is likely to completely break down Russia-Ukraine relations, which eventually leads to a full-scale war between the two sides around the more controversial areas Crimea .
For Biden, the outbreak of comprehensive Russia and Ukraine is naturally a welcome thing. At least it can make Russia's life more difficult, but for Ukraine, the full-scale war with Russia is undoubtedly the worst ending. After all, the gap in military strength cannot be easily made up.In addition, as long as Biden achieves his goal, he can pat his butt and leave. It is impossible to put the United States and Russia in a head-on conflict. Therefore, Zelensky's role as a pawn this time can only be said to be a bet on the fate of Ukraine's national fate.
