At a critical moment, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy came to the United States and delivered a majestic speech in the U.S. Congress.
Zelensky's speech was delivered at a joint meeting of the US House of Representatives and the Senate, and the leaders of both parties in the US House of Representatives and the Senate were all present. This is a great honor, and few politicians can enjoy this treatment. 
The key points of Zelensky’s speech are as follows:
First, he compared the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war to the free world’s resistance to tyranny. He said that Ukrainian soldiers now stand firm and fight back against the Russian army, just like American soldiers in 1944 resolutely resisted the attack of Nazi Germany. In this sense, Zelensky strives to win the sympathy and even empathy of American lawmakers.
Second, call on the United States to provide more weapons and equipment. Zelensky said: Do we have enough artillery? Honestly, not really. In order to defeat the Russian army, Ukraine needs more artillery and artillery shells. As long as Ukraine obtains enough weapons, it can drive the Russian army out.
Third, Zelensky and Biden unanimously agreed on the "10-point peace initiative." These 10-point initiatives were put forward by Zelensky in November. The core one is "restoring Ukraine's territorial integrity." Ukraine's bottom line demand is definitely to recapture the four states that "joined Russia". Further demands may include recapturing Crimea . Whether Russia will agree or not is up to everyone to judge.
Fourth, Zelensky announced that Ukraine will stand its ground and never surrender. Ukraine's goal: to win on the battlefield.
Just after Zelensky finished his speech in the United States, Putin also communicated with the media. When talking about Russia's purpose, Putin said that Russia is committed to ending this war, and the sooner the better.
The side that was beaten made a high-profile statement that it wanted to win on the battlefield. The attacking side expressed that they wanted to end the war as soon as possible. This is where the Russo-Ukrainian War has become more and more magical and interesting.
Finally, let me share some thoughts:
First, some friends believe that the West's sending weapons to Ukraine is simply to ignite the situation and openly create bias. This view is biased. Because it is their own international obligation for the United States and the United Kingdom to assist Ukraine.
In 1994, Ukraine, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries signed the "Budapest Memorandum". This agreement stipulated that Ukraine would hand over or even destroy its own nuclear weapons and strategic weapons in exchange for these countries providing security guarantees to Ukraine. In addition to respecting the territorial integrity of Ukraine, these countries also have an obligation: if other countries attack Ukraine, the United States, Britain, and Russia must help.
Therefore, the large-scale assistance provided by the United States and the United Kingdom to Ukraine is, to a certain extent, a fulfillment of the international obligations they have signed. This is why basically no one in the United States or the United Kingdom opposes aid to Ukraine. The difference is nothing more than the intensity and quality of the aid.
From a factual point of view, the United States has given the most advanced air defense weapons "Patriot" system to Ukraine this time, and is also considering continuing to provide assistance to other advanced weapons and equipment. Based on the strong military production capabilities of the United States, Ukraine will continue to receive assistance in the future.
Secondly, since Ukraine and the United States have unanimously demanded the realization of the "10-point peace initiative", the Russo-Ukrainian war will definitely not end in the short term. Ukraine demands the restoration of territorial integrity, but both the four eastern states of Ukraine and Crimea have joined Russia on a legal level. For Russia, these lands are already its own territory, and they cannot be handed over to others no matter what the price.
Therefore, the next fight over the four eastern states of Ukraine will be very cruel and last for a long time. In fact, the Russian and Ukrainian armies are currently fighting fiercely in the city of Bachmut in Donetsk Oblast , and neither side will retreat easily.
Third, Russia’s situation is getting more and more difficult.Putin personally admitted that Russia has consumed a huge amount of military reserves, implying that Russia cannot withstand a long-term war of attrition. After all, Russia's production capacity is limited, and its GDP is even lower than that of South Korea. Even if the entire country is invested in military production, its production capacity cannot be compared with that of the entire Western world.
Judging from the current battlefield signs, the Russian army has switched from offense to defense, strengthened the defense forces in key areas, and increasingly relied on long-range weapons to attack important facilities in Ukraine. However, when Ukraine's various air defense weapons and offensive weapons are all in place, the Russian army will face new challenges. Where does
go? It must be as powerful as Putin and it will also cause headaches.
