Hello everyone, welcome to this episode!
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, the world situation has always been in a state of tension. The United States "unwilling to give up" and wants to destroy Russia. Ukraine and other countries are even more solemnly following the United States and confronting Russia with strong confrontation. How will this war end has become a topic of concern for everyone. In recent times, many countries around the world have launched a new wave of targeting Russia, which has made the situation tense a little more. Let's take a look at it in detail.
First of all, Israeli officials said they wanted military assistance to Ukraine, but were warned by Russia.
TASS reported that Israeli Minister of Expatriate Affairs Shay publicly tweeted that Israel should start providing military assistance to Ukraine like the United States and other NATO member states. As we all know, since the Russian-Ukraine conflict, the United States and its allies have been providing weapons to Ukraine, but this behavior has aroused extreme disgust from Russia, and Russia has repeatedly expressed opposition and issued warnings. Just earlier this month, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov also said that Russia warned the United States not to further be involved in the situation in Ukraine. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov also said that as the United States and NATO are more involved in the Ukrainian conflict, Russia will be forced to take countermeasures, including "asymmetric" measures.
This shows to a certain extent that Russia's patience is probably not left, so when Israel expresses its military aid to Ukraine, Russia will certainly not "sit and wait for death." According to media reports, Russian Federal Security Conference Vice Chairman Medvedev has reminded Israel not to provide weapons to Ukraine. He bluntly stated that Israel seemed to intend to provide weapons to the Ukrainian regime, which was a very rash measure that would undermine the relations between Russia and Israel. It has to be said that Russia's move has a feeling of "ugly words ahead". However, just after Russia issued a warning, Israeli officials immediately stated that they would not provide weapons to Ukraine.
Foreign media reports that Israeli Attorney General Sar made it clear that Israel will not arm Ukraine. The report also pointed out that Israeli government sources told the media that Israel does not intend to provide weapons to Ukraine, adding that previous comments by Shay did not reflect the government's policies. In this way, Israel has clarified Shay's previous remarks and gave Russia a "peace of mind".
In fact, Israel has faced quite a lot of pressure recently. Ukraine repeatedly put pressure on Israel to provide weapons, and plans to make relevant requests to Israel again in the next few days. But Israel is still guarding its position. Sources revealed that Israel even rejected Ukrainian requests to allow the defense ministers of the two countries to make a telephone call on the 17th. It seems that Ukraine is trying hard to drag Israel into the water, hoping that the Israeli government can withstand the pressure of Ukraine and never join the ranks of adding fuel to the fire. The most urgent task now is to promote peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine and let the war end as soon as possible, and it is by no means offering weapons to Ukraine.
The second message, because the United States, Philippines canceled the purchase of Russian helicopters. According to media reports, in November last year, the Philippines and Russia signed a purchase contract for 16 m-17 helicopters, . Russia was originally scheduled to deliver the first batch of helicopters in about two years. According to Philippine officials, these helicopters could have been used to perform combat, search and rescue operations and medical evacuation missions.
But the United States "has come out halfway" and "spook the order". According to a previous report by Associated Press , Philippine officials said that the Philippine government has cancelled the agreement to purchase 16 Russian military helicopters due to concerns that the United States may impose sanctions. Former Philippine Defense Secretary Lorenzana also said that if the Philippines continues to advance the agreement, it may cause dissatisfaction from the United States and "face sanctions." Meanwhile, Philippine Ambassador to the United States, Romuldez, also confirmed to the media that the transaction to purchase Russian helicopters has been cancelled because if the transaction continues, the United States may use its "Strike the Counterattack on the U.S. Enemy Act to sanction the Philippines.
From these statements, it is not difficult to see that under the pressure of American sanctions, the Philippines was forced to surrender. It is worth noting that after the Philippines canceled the transaction, the United States also introduced a series of "comfortification" measures. For example, there were reports that US security officials knew about the Philippines' decision and could provide similar heavy helicopters for use by the Philippine military.
Recently, U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Carlson said that the Philippines gave up purchasing Russian helicopters and the United States will pay the Philippines $100 million. I have to say that the United States is really very skillful in operating this trick of "carrot and stick". As we all know, Russia is a major weapon manufacturer, and the United States undoubtedly wants to reduce Russia's income in disguise and achieve the goal of destroying Russia. Some media pointed out that in December last year, the Indonesian , which ordered Russian Su-35 fighter jets, also announced the cancellation of the transaction. Some speculated that the reason why Indonesia did this may be because it is concerned that the United States used its "Strike Against the US Enemy Act to impose sanctions."
I don’t know if any country will give up cooperation with Russia in the future because it is afraid of US sanctions. But to be honest, the United States' move to "cut off the fire from the bottom of the pot" is indeed extremely cruel.
Next, let’s talk about the third point that Russia is targeted. Ukraine is tough and said it is not neutral. According to media reports, Ukrainian Defense Minister Leznikov has made it clear that Ukraine will definitely not become a neutral country. He also specifically named Russia, saying that " Kremlin lobbyists should not count on this." Coincidentally, the attitude of a senior Russian official recently formed a sharp contrast with the Ukrainian Defense Minister.
Just as the Ukrainian defense minister said with confidence that Russia should not expect Ukraine to become a neutral country, Surovikin, the commander-in-chief of the regional joint force of Russia carrying out special military operations against Ukraine, publicly stated that he hopes Ukraine will be independent of the West and NATO and become a country friendly to Russia. It is reported that Surovikin was appointed earlier this month, and this is the first time he has spoken out to the media since he took office. Surovikin said: "The enemy is a criminal regime that pushes Ukrainian citizens to death. We are the same nation as Ukrainians, and our goal is to make Ukraine independent of the West and NATO and become a country friendly to Russia."
In addition, it is worth noting that Surovikin mentioned that During the war, Ukrainian side ignored the huge personnel losses of Ukrainian army and civilians. "The NATO leadership in charge of the Ukrainian armed forces has long demanded that the Ukrainian regime take offensive actions in the direction of Khlsong , without considering the casualties of Ukrainian armed forces and civilians at all." If every word Surovikin said is true, then the Ukrainian Zelensky government is indeed a bit "crazy" in order to fight this "agent war", and even to the point of ignoring personnel losses.
Recalling Ukraine's actions recently, we will find that Ukraine is becoming increasingly tough towards Russia. Not long ago, Ukrainian President Zelensky, Ukrainian Speaker Stefanchuk and Ukrainian Prime Minister Smegal signed an application for Ukraine to join NATO. In addition, Zelensky also signed a decree to approve the decision on the impossible negotiations with Russian President Putin . According to this document, Ukraine cannot negotiate with Russia during Putin's presidency, which shows Ukraine's tough attitude. It has to be said that the Russian-Ukraine conflict has lasted for so long and Ukraine has made so many bloody sacrifices, but it still cannot see the current situation clearly and is still dreaming of joining NATO quickly.
Zelensky should realize that fighting a proxy war is absolutely of no benefit to Ukraine. If you want to treat Russia in a tough way, it will only bring about a tougher counterattack. I hope Zelensky can change his attitude as soon as possible and complete negotiations with Russia.
Finally, let’s talk about the West’s smear on Russia. According to media reports, Czech intelligence agency, Director of the Security Intelligence Agency, Kaudelka, publicly exaggerated the Russian threat in an event, saying that Russia is the main threat to NATO and all Western countries and wants to "destroy" the West.It is reported that Kaudelka said that "Russia regards NATO and Western society as enemies" and that Russia "will use all means and do everything possible" to "destroy" the West.
media pointed out that last month, when Russian President Putin announced partial military mobilization, he said in his speech that the West "aggressive anti-Russia policies have crossed all boundaries" and that "their purpose is to weaken Russia, isolate Russia and ultimately destroy Russia." If Kaudelka wants to "take advantage of the problem" based on Putin's statement, it can only mean that Western politicians are increasingly "turning the tables". In fact, the whole world can see clearly whether it is Russia threatening the United States and the West, or whether the United States leads Western countries to threaten and pressure Russia.
The United States incites the Russian-Ukraine conflict with one hand, and NATO continues to squeeze Russia's strategic space. Even now, the United States and Europe are still sending weapons to Ukraine, making it "bloody" with Russia. These are undeniable facts. Therefore, Western politicians forcibly smeared Russia at this time and said that Russia wanted to "destroy" the West, which was really untenable. Looking at the current situation, although Russia is still targeted by the United States and the West everywhere, hegemony has begun to decline, and Western politicians cannot cover up the fact of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. They should stop as soon as possible to avoid completely angering Russia and causing irreparable consequences. This episode ends here, see you next time!
