The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has lasted for more than 7 months. At present, four regions including Ukraine, including Khlsong, , are holding referendums to decide whether to join the Russian Federation. In this regard, Russia has expressed its support for the decision made by residents in Khlsong and other places. Western countries strongly oppose the referendum. Biden also recently stated that the United States will jointly impose stricter sanctions on Russia in response to the referendum.
Biden also said that the United States will continue to provide support to Ukraine. Just after Biden made a statement, Zelensky revealed in an interview that the US air defense missiles that aided Ukraine have arrived.
It is reported that on September 25 local time, Zelensky said in an interview that Ukraine has obtained the advanced air defense system from the United States.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine quickly lost its air supremacy and was unable to deal with Russian air strikes. Therefore, Kiev has been asking Western countries to assist advanced air defense systems.
But in order to avoid angering Russia, Western countries have not provided air defense missiles to Ukraine. This is the first time that Ukraine has admitted to obtaining advanced low-altitude missile systems from the West.
reported that Washington approved the delivery of the "National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System" (NASAMS) to Ukraine as early as the end of August, but has not been publicized to the outside world just to avoid angering Russia.
However, after Russia announced the implementation of partial mobilization, the situation in Russia and Ukraine further escalated, and the gunpowder smell between Russia and Western countries became stronger and stronger. The United States no longer had any concerns, so it acquiesces Zelensky's admission of obtaining air defense missiles from the United States.
Russia has long warned Western countries about providing weapons assistance to Ukraine, asking it to stop aid, otherwise it will trigger greater conflicts. But the United States completely ignored Russia's warning and has been providing weapons assistance to Ukraine. Zelensky also revealed in the interview that the United States also provided Ukraine with the "Haimas" multi-rocket launcher system and other multi-rocket launcher systems.
In response to this, Zelensky said that Ukraine is very grateful to Biden for its positive decision and thanks to the United States for providing a large amount of weapons assistance to Ukraine.
However, Zelensky's current assistance to Ukraine is still not meeting . He said that the air defense missile system provided by the United States to Ukraine is not enough to cover all civil infrastructure, schools and hospitals in Ukraine.
He also said that the Ukrainian government still needs billions of dollars in funds, more weapons, and more sanctions on Russia to support Ukraine in continuing to fight against Russia.
Zelensky's remarks are on the surface asking for assistance from Western countries, but in fact they are equivalent to threatening Western countries: if Ukraine does not provide more assistance, Ukraine will stop fighting Russia.
The reason why the United States provoked the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and constantly supported Ukraine and sanctioned Russia is to consume Russia's strength. If Ukraine stops fighting Russia at this time, the United States' conspiracy to drag down Russia will be completely bankrupt.
Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of dragging down Russia, the United States had to continue to provide assistance to Ukraine. Not only that, Zelensky also said that Ukraine needs the United States to continue to play its leadership role and allow other countries to provide air defense systems to it.
But Ukraine's wish may be disappointed. Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, although European countries have also provided some weapons and ammunition to Ukraine, the quantity is not large.
Moreover, since April, the amount of weapons assistance provided by Europe to Ukraine has decreased dramatically, and there will definitely be no increase in aid in the future, let alone provide Ukraine with high-performance weapons such as air defense missiles.
In addition, Europe is currently facing a very serious energy crisis due to sanctions against Russia, and European countries that are unable to take care of themselves may not have the extra energy to support Ukraine.
Looking at the current situation, whether it is Ukraine, Russia, or European countries, they have suffered considerable losses due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and only the United States' arms dealers have gained benefits. Therefore, if European countries want to get rid of the energy crisis and inflation , they should stop following the United States, otherwise the problems faced by Europe will only become more and more serious.
