Let’s discuss how powerful a country that can be called a “global leader” should be?
Even the United States, which has experienced two world wars and has worked hard to reshape the global financial and production system, is still frightened by its status.
Old European capitalist countries, such as Britain, France, Germany, and some emerging countries, are also qualified to compete for "global leadership."
However, in an annual speech in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Zelensky easily boasted that Ukraine is "one of the global leaders", which is really surprising.
Zelensky seems to have forgotten that just a few days ago, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister was still hoping that Western countries would send more weapons to support him.
In addition to arousing cynicism from netizens from various countries, Zelensky's remarks also made people wonder whether the high-level Ukrainian government has a deep attitude and understanding of the Ukrainian crisis.
War is not a child's play, nor is it a stage for politicians to perform. It is more about the blood and flesh of soldiers and the innocence and misfortune of the people.
In any case, with the intervention of the United States, Ukraine is not ready to negotiate with Russia in the short term. Putin did not intend to talk nonsense anymore, and resorted to " three axes " as Russia's direct and powerful response to the Western camp.
- Attack the Ukrainian army and cut off Western aid.
On the battlefield, without weapons, everything is in vain. On the one hand, Putin is increasing domestic weapons production and striving to "strengthen himself"; on the other hand, he is preparing to turn passive defense into proactive attack, trying to attack the West's arms supply line assisting Ukraine, increasing his efforts to "weaken him" .
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov 28 made it clear in an interview with Russian TV that since Ukraine is receiving more and better Western weapons, we are no longer prepared to sit back and wait for death. He said that the Russian military will rely on its professional capabilities to make it difficult for the Western weapons supply chain to be shipped to Ukraine.
Lavrov’s so-called “military professional capabilities” most likely refer to force destruction, that is, destruction of Ukraine’s transport fleets, weapons depots, infrastructure or decision-making centers through missiles and other weapons.
Lavrov also admitted that the previous destruction of Ukraine’s infrastructure and energy networks by the Russian military has made it more difficult for the West to launch new weapons, and that “new plans are being implemented.”
This must be bad news for Ukraine. From the production to the transportation of a weapon to Ukraine, it takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but the Russian army just blew up a missile in the past. The destruction of is faster than the production of . Without weapons, Ukraine's actions in the coming spring will inevitably be hindered.
- has a clear attitude and supports Serbia .
In December this year, the situation on the Serbian border became tense again, and Putin finally made his position clear: support Serbia. According to a report on the German News TV channel website on December 28, a spokesperson for the Kremlin said directly: " we will take all measures to support Belgrade ."
Note that "take all measures", which means that Russia must not only take care of this matter, but also do its best to protect Serbia. At the critical moment of preparing for the war in the coming spring, Putin decided to allocate part of his energy to go out, which was based on his considerations.
The first is that Russia has the need to support Serbia in terms of history and position; the second is that expresses its attitude to the West, and Russia still has the style of a big country that "mediates crises"; the third is that has many friends and many paths, and today's Russia needs more friends.
Taken together, if Russia helps Serbia win, it will also be an encouragement to the Russian army's actions in "special military operations."
- united with Iran to provide it with fighter jets.
In addition to explicitly supporting Serbia, Putin also united with Iran, which was also "targeted" by the United States, and chose to "strike hard" with the Western camp.
According to a report on the Iranian News TV website on December 28, Russia, which ignored Western warnings, is preparing to provide Iran with a complete squadron of Su-35 fighter jets. The two sides have deepened defense and economic cooperation.
For Iran, cooperation with Russia can share the pressure of US sanctions and promote the transformation of the domestic economic structure. For Russia, after selling a batch of fighter jets, it received a sum of funds that can be used to support "special military operations."
In addition, cooperating with Serbia and Iran at the same time is a signal to the United States and Ukraine that Russia also chooses to continue fighting. In any case, Russia and Ukraine will start a new battle when the ice and snow melt and everything revives. Let's wait and see!
