Today is December 21st, taking a look at the international military situation. In the past two days, a major change is brewing in the situation between Russia and Ukraine. I don’t know how many artillery shells the Russian and Ukrainian armies have dropped on each other’s positions, how many air strikes they have carried out, and how many people they have killed. But Putin and Zelensky have not only been dispatched frequently in the past two days, but their dispatch patterns are surprisingly similar. Why did
say this?
Let’s look at it. Both Putin and Zelensky recently went to the front line to visit the officers and soldiers participating in the war. According to a report by " Russian Newspaper " on the 20th, the Kremlin confirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin went to the "special military operations area" not long ago and met with troop commanders there. According to British media reports, Zelensky visited the "frontline city" Bakhmut in Donetsk on the 20th local time. The report described this as "breaking news" and said that Ukrainian and Russian troops had been engaged in fierce fighting in this city for several months.
According to the media, both presidents risked their lives to visit the frontline troops. This kind of action is really rare. It is even rarer for two presidents to reach the frontline of combat operations. It can be seen that they are all boosting the morale of the troops, and conducting in-depth field research on combat operations to seek data for scientific decision-making for the next step.
Subsequently, Putin and Zelensky made the same move again, that is, visiting overseas, and they both transferred directly from the front line of combat to overseas visits. This is definitely not a coincidence.
Of course, the difference is that Putin visited a hardcore country - Belarus , while Zelensky chose to visit the United States to embrace Biden 's lap.
According to CNN (CNN), Ukrainian President Zelensky will arrive in Washington on the 21st local time in the United States (i.e., the 22nd Beijing time) and meet with US President Biden. This is Zelensky's first overseas visit since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
It is worth mentioning that Zelensky is so proud that before his visit to the United States, Biden gave him a big gift package! On December 21, the U.S. Military Times reported that U.S. officials said the United States would provide $1.8 billion in large-scale military assistance to Ukraine, which would include Patriot missiles and precision-guided bombs for its fighter jets for the first time, as the Biden administration prepares to welcome Ukrainian President Zelensky to Washington.
The aid marks the United States' expansion of the types of advanced weapons it will provide to Ukraine to strengthen the country's air defense capabilities.
With thousands of troops facing off against one general, the actions of Putin and Zelensky directly determine the next step in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. While Zelensky was busy visiting the United States and seeking advice from Biden, Putin, who had just returned from a visit to Belarus, delivered a long speech at the enlarged meeting of the Russian Ministry of Defense Ministry Affairs Committee held on the 21st, revealing very important information.
First, "Fight, just like the heroes of the War of 1812, World War I and the Great Patriotic War. " In his speech, Putin once again expressed his gratitude to those who are now fulfilling their obligations on the battlefield. Thank you to the tank crews, airborne troops, artillery, motorized infantry, engineers, signal corps, pilots, special forces and air defense corps, sailors, military surveyors, experts of logistics units, personnel of the Russian State Guards and other forces, thank you for all this fighting. "Fight," Putin then shouted, "just like the heroes of the War of 1812, World War I and the Great Patriotic War." "The slogan. This is a kind of mobilization, and it shows that Putin has prepared for the worst. When the troops come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the soil will cover them. In the face of a powerful enemy, Putin will never swallow his anger, let alone submit.
If Russia is gone, why do we need this world? Protesting a thousand times is not as good as beating the wings of a fighter jet once. This is Putin's attitude.
The second is to issue a dangerous warning: the military potential and capabilities of almost all major NATO member states are actively used against Russia. At the same time, Putin thanked all Russian soldiers for still fighting bravely and firmly for Russia in the face of numerous confrontations with NATO. Complete the set tasks step by step with confidence, and there is no doubt that these tasks will be completed.
The third is to announce that the Trinity nuclear force has entered combat duty. Putin said that he will maintain combat readiness and improve the nuclear trinity , which is the main guarantee of the sovereignty of the Russian Federation. Currently, the proportion of modern weapons in Russia’s nuclear triad reaches 91%.
Putin revealed that the Russian "Sarmat" intercontinental ballistic missile system will enter combat duty in the near future, and the "Admiral Gorshkov" frigate equipped with the latest "Zircon" missiles will also enter service in January next year. The Russian Ministry of Defense pointed out at the time that the new "Sarmat" missile can carry a gliding hypersonic warhead, can use various flight trajectories to hit targets at long range, and is guaranteed to be able to overcome any existing and future anti-missile defense systems.
At the enlarged meeting of the Russian Ministry of Defense Ministry Affairs Committee held on the 21st, Defense Minister Shoigu revealed an important data: 27 countries have supplied or are supplying weapons to Ukraine, with a total cost of 97 billion US dollars, which has far exceeded the total value of weapons left by the United States in Afghanistan .
Russia is the world's second most powerful military power, but to single-handedly deal with the collective attack by dozens of countries, mainly the United States, NATO, the European Union, , Putin has to prepare for the worst with nuclear power. Especially when NATO allies take actual actions, Putin has to hold the nuclear button tightly in his hand and make this information public. It is obviously to let NATO countries know the serious consequences of bullying too much, thus forcing the United States and the West to think twice before acting and not to get burned.
According to Shoigu's latest revelation, in order to cope with NATO's increase in military strength on the Russian border, Russia needs to form a group army in the northwest and increase the number of Russian armed forces to 1.5 million people.
In the face of Russia's tough response, the United States is not afraid. At least two important news prove that the United States is guilty in its heart. First, before Zelensky arrived in Washington, senior White House officials told reporters in advance on December 21 that Biden said that "whether tomorrow, next month, or next year," the United States will not send troops to Ukraine or directly go to war with Russia. This position will not change even after Zelensky's one-day visit to Washington.
It can be seen that the United States is neither willing nor dared to directly go to war with Russia, and Zelensky will continue to act as a "war agent." On the 21st, members of the U.S. Congress also issued strong objections to Zelensky’s visit, accusing the White House of spending taxpayers’ money on the 51st state of the United States (meaning Ukraine).
Just today, on December 21, local time, the Belarusian government issued an order stating that people are temporarily prohibited from entering the three border areas between the country's Gomel Oblast and Ukraine. The order was signed by Belarusian Prime Minister Golovchenko and came into effect. This is the border ban order issued after Putin’s visit to Belarus. Think about the deep meaning behind it and what are you preparing for?
In summary, there are various signs that Zelensky is seeking favors everywhere, competing for time and resources with Russia in an attempt to achieve total victory, but Russia has obviously prepared for the worst.
Whether the next war will start or stop, the key depends on what "instructions" Zelensky gets back from this time in the United States. Putin is ready and waiting! Zelensky and Biden should be careful: going further may lead to an abyss!
