The Russian-Ukrainian conflict front is constantly elongating, and the performance of Western countries has gradually widened the "gap".
Recently, US Secretary of State Blinken visited Kiev without prior announcement and announced that the US will provide a military aid program of more than US$2.8 billion.

Blinken said that the Biden administration has notified Congress that it intends to provide Ukraine and its 18 neighboring countries with a long-term "foreign military fund" because these countries are "most likely to face Russia's future threat." It is worth mentioning that about $1 billion of of this will be used in Ukraine.
Another $675 million military aid was announced by US Secretary of Defense Austin.
Interestingly, Ukrainian President Zelensky awarded Blinken the medal "Yaroslav, the Wise" on the grounds that Blinken "made great contributions" in "supporting Ukrainian territorial integrity".
However, this news has caused great controversy among netizens.
In April this year, Blinken visited Kiev with US Secretary of Defense Austin and met with Ukrainian President Zelensky. After a few months, Blinken went to Ukraine in person again. It seems that the Biden administration is indeed "supporting" Ukraine.
In contrast, European countries are becoming increasingly unable to do so.
Recently, Boreli, head of foreign policy at the EU2 EU , said that as member states continue to provide weapons and equipment to Ukraine, the weapons inventory within the EU has been seriously "depleted", and reminded EU member states to "replenish" their weapons inventory now.
Ukraine has almost hollowed out the EU's military reserves. Coupled with the repeated unanimous energy embargo on Russia by EU member states, Europe is now almost in chaos.

What's ridiculous is that since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Western countries have been continuously increasing their sanctions on Russia, and at the same time they are trying to get rid of their dependence on Russia's energy.
However, a report from a think tank in Finland shows that in the six months after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia's energy export revenue far exceeded the country's "war expenses". The EU remains the largest buyer of Russian energy, which is really a "slap in the face".
And the United States just won the face and lost the inner world. With a big stroke, he gave Ukraine one dollar after another military aid, but what about the American people? It is still struggling to survive in inflation and food shortages.
Against this background, people often discuss when the Russian-Ukrainian war will end.
In response to this, Ukrainian National Security and Defense Commission Secretary Danilov said that the war will not end soon, but it will not last for many years. He said it would be a tough war and Ukraine needs to ensure that Russia will no longer have the ability to start a war after its victory.
At present, the war in Ukraine continues, and Zelensky recently made a public voice, saying that the Ukrainian army counterattacked in the eastern and southern parts of the country, regaining more than 1,000 square kilometers of territory and more than 20 villages.
US Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Mili expressed "appreciation" of the Ukrainian army's counterattack, and did not forget to mention the "Haimas" multiple rocket launcher provided by the United States to Ukraine.
, while Russia said that Russia has expanded its response measures to the EU sanctions, including to the EU's highest military leadership and relevant personnel involved in military aid to Ukraine.
More than two years after the coronavirus pandemic ravaged global trade, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has made the world economy worse. The United States' continuous delivery of weapons to Ukraine also seems to indicate that the conflict will not end in the short term.
