Annexation of other countries' territories is Russia's tradition, and establishing a strategic buffer zone is Russian belief. In the civilized world order, Russian tradition and belief are anti-civilized behaviors. We must express our opposition from the standpoint of international law and international norms.
Russia will face stronger isolation from the international community in the next step. Even if Russia has saved the fate of the country, Kazakhstan , opposes Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territory. No country in the world will stand on Russia's position to express support.
China and Russia are in the best period of history at the strategic level, but gentlemen are harmonious but different. We maintain our position on the issue of Russia's annexation of Ukraine. Regarding China's position, Putin also expressed understanding on Oriental Economic Forum . He said that China does not need to reach an agreement with Russia in everything.
In the face of the four places in Ukraine officially incorporated into the territory of the Russian Federation from a legal level, the first reaction of the EU was to pass the eighth sanctions on Russia. The sanctions cover all Russian goods and increase sanctions on Russian military, government and scientific research institutions.
The United States has increased its temporary expenditure budget of US$50 billion to Ukraine. The United States has provided US$100 billion in aid to Ukraine. Of course, the vast majority is the discount on US arms and military consulting services.
Ukraine's four places have been included in the territory of the Russian Federation. This is a new beginning. Western countries and Russia may directly enter a state of war. NATO 's aid to Ukraine has turned from intelligence and military advisers to the front desk and left the scene directly. The latest exercise organized by
NATO was the "European Defender Exercise" in 2021. The United States and 10 other countries sent a total of 7,000 paratroopers to conduct "agile reaction" and forcefully intervene in the exercise at multiple login sites in Estonia , Bulgaria , and Romania . The exercise mainly simulates how NATO rapid response force can provide reinforcements as soon as possible when Estonia, Lithuania and other countries are attacked by Russia. Among them, the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army, as the vanguard, was responsible for restraining the Russian army and cutting off its communications and supplies.
This exercise is connected with the 2018 NATO exercise at Norway "Trident" exercise. In recent years, NATO organized exercises imagine that the enemy is Russia. This is the extreme fear of Western countries in the 2008 Georgia War and the 2014 Crimean War.
If NATO turns Ukraine into a battlefield in 2022, then they will have to fight on the domestic French territory of Russia. Putin said that when Russia's security is threatened, all measures will be taken to deal with it, which includes the use of nuclear weapons .
Putin signed a treaty to officially ratify the four Ukraine to join the Russian Federation. Faced with the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict to a new stage, the United States maintained firm support for Ukraine, while there was a start to split public opinion within Germany, France and other countries. These were affected by Russian energy politics and the country could no longer hold on. The people demanded lowering of energy prices to survive the cold winter.
World political pattern will reach a consensus after Putin is incorporated into the four places of Ukraine, that is, United Nations needs to stand up and maintain the spirit of the "United Nations Charter " to condemn and isolate Russia to avoid other countries imitating the Russian referendum on national self-determination to annex other countries.
No matter what Russia has thousands of reasons, referendums under force are contrary to the UN Charter. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent country recognized by the UN, and the UN protects Ukraine's national independence.
Putin and his colleagues in the Russian Federation Security Council will face severe tests. Russia's internal opposition voices and external international community isolation form a joint force to suppress the Putin government. This is the test of the Putin government's true strategic determination to respond to the crisis.
Overall, we still hope that political consultation will resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Although disrupting the situation with the United States will cause difficulties and dangers in political peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, but to achieve peace, which one can avoid more than 40 million Ukrainians fall into a humanitarian disaster, all efforts are worth it.
