is super important. The US Embassy in Russia temporarily notified US citizens living in Russia on September 28, 2022 to leave Russia as soon as possible, and warned US citizens to travel to Russia with caution.
The United States has always been arrogant, but such a warm reminder rarely appears. This time, it actually publicly advised American citizens not to step into Russia's territory. Is the United States going to openly overturn the table with Russia this time? The situation has obviously escalated. These two special events,
, can be understood by looking at them together.
First: Russia announced the results of the referendum on entry to Russia in four regions including Ukraine , which turned out to be passed with a very high vote.
Second: The two natural gas pipelines from Russia to Germany, Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, were blown up three holes almost at the same time.
Several major events that seem to be inconsistent happened at the same time, but they all point to the comprehensive escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Russia turns offensive to defense, Ukraine is extremely disappointed, EU economy is facing a cold winter, and the United States is about to be forced to go to the battlefield.
The cause of the incident was that Russia allowed four regions including Donetsk in Ukraine to vote publicly. These four regions all wanted to join Russia with a very high number of votes.
And countries and organizations have different attitudes towards this referendum. Russia must have admitted this result, but Ukraine is extremely opposed. The United States, , NATO, and the EU are unwilling to admit it. At this time, China's opinions including , UN actually seem particularly important, but China and the United Nations have very consistent attitudes and do not recognize the referendum held by Russia.
The specific reason is that four regions including Donetsk originally belonged to Ukraine. Since this referendum is not within the scope of Ukraine's constitutional constraints, it should not be recognized. Although Ukraine and Russia were once the same country, both belonged to the former Soviet Union. But no matter how close my brother is, he will be divided into you and me after the separation. It cannot be said that you just organize a group of people and start voting and then change the country. The attitudes of the United Nations and our China are both like this.
Although our China has always had a very good trade relationship with Russia, it is still very principled in the face of major issues, but this will not affect the good relationship between China and Russia.
Because Russia needs to divide these four regions into its own territory too much. The reason is very realistic. Because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Russia defines special military operations, and Russia's military advantages have not been exerted at all. Originally, Russia planned to quickly resolve the battle in the form of blitzkrieg , but after fighting for more than half a year, no results were achieved.
Russian men need to participate in one year of military service, but this year's military service cannot go abroad to fight. Only after serving in the military service and sign a new contract with the Russian military and become an contract soldier can you go abroad to fight. In late September 2022, Russia urgently recruited 300,000 reserves, and could not go abroad to fight. Therefore, most of Russia's troops can only defend and not attack.
Once the four regions of Donesque in Ukraine are placed into Russia from the map of Ukraine, the situation is completely different. Russia has become a defensive battle. It can not only mobilize all the troops in the country, but also use the nuclear weapon at critical moments. So this referendum is really important to Russia.
But our country's attitude has never changed. We have always been neutral and always hope that both Russia and Ukraine can negotiate peacefully to end the conflict.
But Western countries don’t think so. On the battlefield of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine was able to last for so long and become more courageous as the war broke out. Behind it is the strong support of the United States and NATO. The United States and the European Union are behind Ukraine, giving weapons and money, and providing military training to Ukrainian soldiers, but they insist that they did not participate in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
As early as February 8, 2022, Russia and Germany Prime Minister Scholz were at a meeting in Washington, Biden and talked about sanctions against Russia. Biden's meaning is very clear. If Russia dares to invade Ukraine, it will end Nord Stream 2. Since then, Biden and U.S. senior officials have also publicly stated that if Russia insists on going its own way, the United States can definitely end Nord Stream 2.
However, after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, European and American countries imposed sanctions on Russia's economy and energy. The United States' oil and gas are self-sufficient and can also be exported. Europe is in trouble, and we are already counting on Russian natural gas for winter. This Beixi No. 2 was not opened at all, and Beixi No. 1 was closed for maintenance issues on September 1. Europe is worried about how to spend this winter. On September 27, , Denmark, discovered a loophole in the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. Before we could figure out what happened, on September 28, the Swedish Maritime Bureau discovered that there were two more loopholes in Nord Stream 1.
This is a good thing. More than 1,000 kilometers of natural gas pipeline have made three big holes not far from Sweden and Denmark. With only these three big holes, it will probably take 20 to 30 days to drain the air in the pipeline. Then add a series of construction such as Shanghai's bottom maintenance, and it will be difficult for Europe to use Russian natural gas this winter.
The three large holes on these two natural gas pipelines were obviously blown up by someone on purpose. And this day happened to be the day when Russia announced the results of the referendum in four places in Ukraine. In addition, the United States has publicly threatened Russia many times before. So it can be seen that Russia and the United States are actually very arrogant. Russia wants part of Ukraine's territory and turn off attack to defense. In order to sanction Russia, the United States has spared no hesitation to put the entire European economy in.
In fact, the most unlucky people are the people in Ukraine and Europe. A large number of Ukrainian refugees flocked to Europe, and energy prices in various European countries soared, so it was difficult for inflation to fall. Europe is seriously short of natural gas this winter, and industrial production is facing a great crisis. In response to this natural gas crisis, although Poland will increase the import of Norwegian natural gas, it is for the whole of Europe. There is still a big gap with Russia's supply.
At this time, we have to sigh, peace is so good!
