Time passes quickly. July is approaching. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered its 126th day. The battlefield situation is becoming increasingly clear. After capturing the city of Severodonetsk, the Russian army is only one step away from fully controlling the Donbass area. remote.
Against this background, the situation has undergone some changes, and they are changes that are very worthy of consideration and consideration.
This prisoner exchange operation was first announced by the Ukrainian intelligence agency, and Russia has not commented yet. Ukraine The military revealed that the prisoners exchanged included 43 "Azov Battalion" soldiers, most of whom were captured during the Battle of the Azov Steel Plant.
Among the prisoners of war exchanged between Russia and Ukraine, the oldest is over 60 years old, and the youngest is only 19 years old. Most of these prisoners of war were seriously injured with gunshot wounds, explosion injuries, fractures or even amputations. Even if they recovered, it would be difficult for them to return to the battlefield .
According to the videos and photos of the prisoner exchange scene released by Ukraine, these people are in good mental condition and have received appropriate medical assistance. Many of them have long-lost smiles on their faces.
After the Russian-Ukraine prisoner exchange operation ended, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 30th that the Russian army's scheduled mission on Snake Island had been completed and had evacuated from the island.
Russia emphasized that the withdrawal of troops from Snake Island is intended to convey goodwill and show to the outside world that Russia has never obstructed Ukraine's export of grain .
In the context of the situation in Ukraine and East becoming increasingly unfavorable to Ukraine, Russia and Ukraine not only conducted a large-scale prisoner exchange, but the Russian army also took the initiative to withdraw its troops from Snake Island. These actions are commendable.
It is not difficult to see from these signs that from the bottom of my heart, neither Russia nor Ukraine wants the conflict to continue.
Earlier this week, the Kremlin stated that as long as Ukraine surrenders and the Ukrainian army lays down its weapons, the Russian military operations in Ukraine can end.
As for Ukraine, although Zelensky also recently revealed that he hopes the conflict will end by the time this winter comes, he currently does not seem to have plans to surrender.
At the NATO summit on the 30th, Zelensky delivered a speech at the meeting via video link. In front of a number of NATO leaders, including Biden, Zelensky made a proposal to NATO. demands and even publicly threatened Western countries.
Zelensky first "persuaded" NATO countries to give Ukraine more advanced weapons to help Ukraine win and end this war.
Zelensky later said that Ukraine is currently facing a fiscal deficit of billions of dollars, Ukraine needs about 5 billion U.S. dollars every month to meet basic defense needs.
Zelensky threatened that if Western countries fail to provide sufficient assistance and Ukraine loses the war, the West may face the risk of war with Russia .
The NATO leaders present may not have expected that NATO has always been the only one to knock other countries' bamboo poles, but this time it was threatened by Ukraine.
Don’t underestimate Zelensky’s threat.
Most of the NATO member states are European countries. After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, these countries were very worried about being "disaster".
After all, Ukraine is the eastern gate of Europe. Once occupied by Russia, it will be a real threat to all European countries. The reason why France, Germany and other countries changed their stance to provide weapons to Ukraine was not only in response to the call of the United States, but also mainly based on considerations of their own security.
Therefore, Zelenskiy’s threat is very deterrent to European countries such as France and Germany.
As for the United States, as the leader of NATO, if it cannot give other member states a sufficient sense of security, how can it lead its own team in the future?
Furthermore, the "ultimate goal" of the United States is to "fight Russia to the last Ukrainian ." If Zelensky directly chooses to mess up, how can the United States make war fortune?
Finally, I still have to say a few more words.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict is a proxy war planned by the United States, aiming to use Ukraine as a pawn to further contain and consume Russia. When the war reached this point, both Russia and Ukraine paid a huge price, but the United States, as the driving force behind the war, made a lot of money from it.
The world should not be like this.
