In the past few days, foreign media revealed that the Biden administration is privately persuading Zelensky to negotiate with Russia as soon as possible. It is at this critical moment that Zelensky's attitude towards this matter has also changed. He said that as long as his five conditions are met, he can negotiate with Russia.
The Russian War in Ukraine has been fighting for 8 months, and it has consumed a lot of money on all sides. In the end, if we want to resolve this matter, only Russia and Ukraine will return to the negotiating table. We just need the United States to promote this matter. During this period, the United States has also changed its approach to Ukraine because of the midterm elections.
According to Global Times , an article in " Washington Post " recently caused heated discussion. The article revealed that a person familiar with the matter revealed the latest attitude of the US government towards the Russian-Ukrainian issue. Now the Biden administration is privately urging the Ukrainian government to consider the conditions for peaceful negotiations with Russia and promote negotiations between the two sides as soon as possible.
After all, after a long war, the current situation of "Ukrainian fatigue" has occurred in all parts of Europe, and the Ukrainian conflict has had a serious adverse impact on the supply of energy and food. If the war continues, it will cause destructive disasters for Europe, Africa and other regions.
As Europe's "big brother", the United States also needs to "consider" its allies appropriately at this time. However, the main reason is the midterm elections held in the United States in the past two days. In order to win seats in the midterm elections, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party will inevitably focus on the Russian-Ukrainian issue.
And the Republican Party also clearly knows that in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, blind aid to Ukraine is not without impact on the United States, and this has also become a key issue for them to attack the Democratic Party. In addition, the Republican Party has previously stated that if it wins in the midterm elections, it will consider reducing or even withdrawing aid to Ukraine.
So, US midterm elections is actually a turning point in the Ukrainian issue. Of course, since the United States has already handed over to Ukraine, the negotiations will also be progressing. According to the Ukrainian Presidential Office, in Zelensky's latest video speech, he focused on issues related to negotiations with Russia.
Compared with the previous Zelensky made it clear that as long as the president of Russia is Putin , he firmly disagrees with the tough attitude of negotiations with Russia, and this time there has been obvious changes. It seems that the attitude of the United States is quite important in Ukraine. However, although Zelensky relaxed in the negotiations, he also put forward five conditions for Russia.
respectively, restore Ukraine's territorial integrity, make Russia respect " United Nations Charter ", compensate for the losses caused to Ukraine by the war, and ensure that this matter will not be repeated in the future. The US media said that Russia would never agree to these five requests made by Zelensky.
It can actually be seen from the above five conditions that Zelensky's main purpose is to return the lost territory and make Putin give up the four regions of Khlsson , Zaporoze , Donetsk and Lugansk , which were previously included in Russia.
But this is obviously impossible. Russia has fought bloody battles for 8 months to make them give up their "results" and everything returns to the starting point. This idea is indeed a little too naive. After all, Russia has paid a lot of money to take these places, and it is impossible to bring everything back to zero.
Secondly, Zelensky wants Russia to compensate Ukraine. Based on the previous point, Zelensky wants money and treats Russia completely as a fool. The outbreak of the war is not the responsibility of Russia. Russia has also lost a lot of manpower and financial resources. While compensating for the losses, Zelensky also demands punishment of war criminals, which is equivalent to treating Russia as a defeated country.
Russia will never agree based on the above two points.Moreover, when the war broke out, Russia mainly aimed at preventing NATO from expanding from eastward. Since they were all going to talk about the relationship, Zelensky kept silent. It can be seen that Ukraine does not have enough sincerity to negotiate peace, and Zelensky is just doing it.
But there are really many difficulties facing Zelensky now. The results of the US midterm election will be announced in the next few days. The Republican Party will have a great chance of winning this time, which also means that Zelensky's situation will become increasingly difficult. After all, most Republicans believe that the United States has too much aid to Ukraine.
Similarly, Europe has shown increasingly lazy performance on the Ukrainian issue. Next, the aid of the United States and the West to Ukraine will inevitably be relatively reduced. However, everyone knows the intentions of the United States, which is to both drag down Russia and disrupt Europe, so that the entire Europe can be controlled by it, and Ukraine is just a trivial cannon fodder.
At the current situation, Ukraine is already in a difficult situation and can only passively allow the United States to continue to exploit, and the negotiations with Russia now seem to be far away. Now it’s all we can see whether Europe or Russia can last longer.
