Ukraine has been stunned by Russia recently. Seeing that it is about to die, Biden quickly contacted its allies to hold the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Germany, preparing to exert further pressure on Russia and announced that it would Continue to support Ukraine.
(G7 Summit)
According to media reports, according to the plan, the Group of Seven will jointly issue a statement on "indefinite support" for Ukraine, which means that no matter how long the Russia-Ukraine conflict lasts, the US-led alliance camp will continue to " Support " Ukrainian . However, regarding this "position", there are differences of opinion even within NATO . In fact, countries such as France and Germany tend to suggest that Ukraine and Russia negotiate a ceasefire agreement. After all, for European countries, the longer the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not, the better. If Russia really defeats Ukraine, then it will be Western Europe 's turn to tremble.

Although Ukraine is being used as a gun by the United States, it still has some brains. Zelensky also realizes that there is no such thing as "Russia cannot fight a protracted war." possibility. Now the Group of Seven has hinted that it may "indefinitely support the conflict between Russia and Ukraine." Isn't this putting Ukraine on fire? According to CCTV military reports, when Zelensky attended the G7 summit via video, he had asked the G7 to "concentrate" on ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict before the end of this year. Zelensky also mentioned a very key point, that is - battlefield conditions make it difficult for the Ukrainian army to carry out a "major counterattack."

Obviously, if Zelensky still had illusions in the early stage, now Zelensky can see the situation clearly. There is no "big counterattack" in Ukraine. Conditions, Ukraine previously said that it would launch a "big counteroffensive" from June to July, but the fact now is that the entire Luhansk will be lost. Currently, Severodonetsk is already in the hands of the Russian army, and Lisichansk Fierce fighting has also broken out in the city, and it is expected that it will not last long. In addition, the Russian army has already assembled in the northern stronghold of Donetsk . It is estimated that the next goal is to capture the entire Donetsk. At the moment, it seems that the countdown to Ukraine's loss of Donbass has entered.

So even if Ukraine deceives itself, it still understands that a prolonged war is not the answer. Zelenskiy should have two meanings. The first is that Western countries must give Ukraine the best weapons and assistance so that Ukraine can find opportunities to "counterattack". If it can regain some territory, that is the best. And if there is no such condition, then we must strive to end the dispute through various diplomatic mediation and negotiations before the end of the year. Otherwise, if Ukraine continues to be consumed as it is now, it may really be consumed into a landlocked country with nothing.

However, regarding the Russia-Ukraine negotiations, Russian experts believe that this depends on the attitude of Washington and London, which means that the United States, Britain and other Western countries will determine whether Ukraine can stop Come down. This is not something Zelensky can have the final say, especially if the United States does not nod, then Ukraine will have no choice but to continue fighting. Judging from the current situation, the United States is indeed in no rush to press the pause button. Therefore, although Zelensky wishes to "end the conflict by the end of the year," Ukraine really has no control over how things will develop. Who made Ukraine "mispay" its destiny to the United States from the beginning?
