With Zelensky's successful victory, it is a big test for the relationship between Ukraine and Russia, as well as between Ukraine and the United States, especially whether it is possible to ease the relationship between Ukraine and Russia. Zelensky's attitude has attracted the attention of many countries, but the new president's attitude seems to have been shaking, and it can even be said that he "plays with the United States and Russia in his palm."
We all know that after the victory, both the United States and Russia frequently showed goodwill to Zelensky, and the new Ukrainian president first intended to show goodwill to Russia, and then the style changed, leaving an olive branch to the United States. Some time ago, Zelensky once again showed goodwill to the Russian side, saying that it was to resolve the situation in Donbas and that Ukraine was willing to resume the Minsk agreement, which means that the Donbas region is expected to restore peace. But this does not seem to be its true purpose.
Restoration of the Minsk Agreement is undoubtedly good news for the Russian side. After all, wars and chaos in the Donbas region have been around for many years, which has had a great impact on people's lives. After restoring the Minsk Agreement, it will not only save the people in the Donbas region from the suffering of war, but also an extremely important step in easing the relations between Ukraine and Russia. But with Zelensky's sworn in office, things changed again, beyond the Russian imagination.
According to media reports, Zelensky was successfully sworn in recently. After taking office, Zelensky delivered a series of speeches. Zelensky said that a ceasefire in the Donbass region is currently the top priority in Ukraine. In addition, Zelensky then said that restoring control over the Donbass region and Crimean Peninsula will become the latest goal.
We all know that the Crimean Peninsula has successfully joined Russia through referendum, and the Donbas region has declared independence earlier and has always taken a pro-Russian route. Earlier when Poroshenko was president, Ukraine and Russia often had conflicts and even had big fights due to territorial issues, especially in order to recapture the Crimean Peninsula, Western countries have also intervened many times.
But even under the common pressure of Ukraine and Western countries, Russia has made it clear on many occasions that it is impossible to give up the sovereignty of the Crimean Peninsula. Ukraine wants to regain the Crimean Peninsula because it is an important strategic location, but the same is true for the Russian side. In addition, Russia has built the Crimean Bridge now, it is probably even more impossible for Ukraine to take back the Crimean Peninsula from Russia.
. Zelensky made such a decision at this time, obviously he wanted to have a battle with Russia. It is very likely that the two countries would return to the situation of tit-for-tat situation when Poroshenko was in power earlier, which also means that there is probably no hope of easing the relationship between the two countries, and this is exactly what Western countries want to see the most. Russia has not yet responded, but now, the two countries are about to embark on a new round of game.
