2 consecutive days, Russia launched an missile attack on Ukraine, including the capital Kiev .
According to Ukrainian TSN TV and the "24tv.ua" website, Ukrainian President Zelensky said on the evening of the 11th local time that the Russian army launched 28 missiles at Ukraine that morning, 20 of which were shot down by Ukrainian air defense system. However, Russia has announced more missile attacks than this.
The day before, Russia used long-range missiles to accurately strike multiple cities such as Kiev, Ukraine. The targets that were hit were said to include the office of Ukrainian President Zelensky and the Ukrainian Security Bureau building.
After the end of the strike, Russia's summary was that all the goals of this strike were achieved. According to the Ukrainian Independent News Agency, the Ukrainian National Police Department said that many cities such as Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, were attacked by missiles. Some media revealed that Russia launched more than 150 cruise missiles, and precision-guided munitions on the same day, hitting important targets throughout Ukraine.
In particular, the most violent blow was carried out to target Ukraine's important energy facilities. This has led to Ukraine having to suspend the transmission of electricity to Europe. So, will the Russian-Ukrainian conflict escalate completely after is attacked by a "car explosion" on Crimea Bridge?
After Russia's large-scale bombing and attack on Ukraine, Germany announced that the leaders of the G7 and Ukrainian President Zelensky will hold an emergency online video conference on the 11th to discuss the situation in Ukraine. Zelensky claims that Ukraine will not be intimidated and Russia tries to erase Ukraine from the map.
Faced with the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In fact, before the Crimea Bridge was attacked, Russia had revealed its willingness to reach an agreement with the United States and the West to resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Türkiye has actually played a very important role. That is the "communicators" between Russia and Western countries such as the United States and Europe, who are responsible for making connections and can reach an agreement that both parties can accept under certain conditions. In the early stages of the conflict, Türkiye also led to multiple rounds of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
For example, Türkiye has contributed to the food export agreement between Russia and Ukraine under the supervision of United Nations . These are all very important. Recently, after Turkish President Erdogan spoke with Russian President Putin and , another important signal was released on . Turkish Presidential spokesman Kalin said Russian President Putin hopes to reach a new "big agreement" with the West to clarify Russia's new position in the world order.
Although Ukrainian President Zelensky had previously signed a decree that "it is impossible to negotiate with Putin". However, it must be admitted that the armed conflict with a huge Russia is likely to be difficult to ultimately determine who wins and who loses on the battlefield alone. It is even more unrealistic to paralyze Russia and split Russia. Moreover, if Russia's red line is broken, there will be no bottom line for the conflict.
Finally, negotiations need to be concluded. Otherwise, both sides, Russia and Ukraine, including the United States and European countries behind Ukraine, will be trapped in the quagmire of war. So, from this perspective, Turkey believes that Russia and the United States and the West have a "greater significance" to hold a negotiation to reach a certain agreement. Because, behind the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is actually the contradiction between Russia and and NATO .
Regarding this "big agreement", Turkey said that it will undoubtedly affect Ukraine, but the bigger problem is actually a new agreement between Russia and the Western world. Because this is the root of the problem.
Moscow believes that the agreement reached between Russia and the West at the end of the Cold War no longer reflects the status of Russia today. Kalin said that Kremlin believes that "now is a new Russia, a new world, with new reality, so a new agreement should be reached."
At the same time, we must also note the voice of an important European politician, that is, the former German Prime Minister, Merkel , which has been in power for 16 years. She recently expressed her statement on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict again, "Only with the participation of Russia, can lasting peace in Europe be achieved." It can be said that this sentence points the key to resolving the escalating Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Merkel warned that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is a "turning point" and that the remarks of Russian President Putin must be taken seriously. "We are all strongly recommended to take these words seriously, rather than treating them as bluffs from the beginning." Merkel also said that if European security is not involved, the Cold War will not really end.
This is not the first time Merkel has made a statement about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict since resigning as German Chancellor. On September 27, Merkel also warned that Russian President Putin should be regarded as a serious dialogue partner. Merkel said that taking Putin seriously is by no means weakness or appeasement policy , but a politically wise expression, which helps create new wiggle room.
It can be said that when the conflict situation in Russia-Ukraine is facing escalation and may even become out of control and become a bottomless war, the German "Iron Lady" who has been away from European politics for a long time finally couldn't help it. Because Merkel, as the leader who successfully led Germany to the first in Europe's economy, has very accurate insight into the development of the situation.
From the previous Nord Stream pipeline was rarely destroyed by multiple explosions, Merkel It has been predicted that if the Russian-Ukrainian conflict continues to confront, it may turn into a bottomless war. Sure enough, the Crimea Bridge was attacked by a car explosion, and it was once paralyzed. In order to retaliate and warn, Russia re-bombed missiles on important national targets such as Kiev in Ukraine.
In fact, Merkel issued three warnings to the whole of Europe. First, Putin's words should not be ignored. Second, now we must create space for circumcision. Russia has issued a harsh warning, and it is not ruled out that the use of nuclear weapon is not a bluff.
3, Europe must focus on the future. This is the body of Merkel's political wisdom Now, because Europe is currently facing severe inflation and energy crisis . Winter is approaching, and European economic and social stability is facing major tests. One key to solving these problems is that Europe and Russia must have a stable cooperative relationship.
large infrastructure has been damaged and attacked, which can be said to make the "red line" blurred. Once the red line is gone, the conflict will become a bottomless line. Many European military experts have warned that there is a "some kind of connection" between the explosion of the Crimea Bridge and the recent destruction of the Nord Stream pipeline. After two incidents, there is no "red line".
Therefore, Russia is inevitable for a large-scale retaliatory strike against the decision-making center of Kiev.
