It has now entered the tenth month of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Although the intensity of the direct war between the two sides on the front line has been relatively reduced, the intensity of the game at all levels shows no sign of declining. In just the past few days, many major incidents have occurred that may further intensify the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Europe and the United States have successively announced new plans to aid Ukraine
In mid-December, the European Union passed a new financial plan to aid Ukraine. According to the new plan, the EU will provide 18 billion euros in financial assistance to Ukraine in batches in 2023. The United States has also confirmed that it will provide Ukraine with at least hundreds of millions of dollars in additional assistance, and has made it clear that it will provide Ukraine with advanced weapons and equipment to enhance its air defense capabilities. There is widespread speculation that the United States may provide assistance to Ukraine for the famous "Patriot" missile defense system .
It is worth noting that on the one hand, Europe and the United States continue to increase military and financial assistance to Ukraine, and on the other hand, they continue to increase sanctions against Russia. The EU has recently announced the ninth round of sanctions against Russia, and the United States has also taken similar actions during the same period. This approach by Europe and the United States is obviously making the conflict between Russia and Ukraine further worsen, and is suspected of adding fuel to the fire.
Russia launched large-scale air strikes against Ukraine
It was during this period that Russia also took countermeasures against the actions of Ukraine, Europe and the United States. According to media reports, the Russian military has recently launched large-scale attacks on Ukraine’s military command system, military industrial enterprise , and military energy supply systems. A total of more than 60 missiles have been launched, causing major blows to energy facilities and public service facilities in many large cities in Ukraine.
Kissinger publishes an important article
In response to the current stalemate and very uncertain conflict situation between Russia and Ukraine, the famous politician and former US Secretary of State Kissinger recently published an article in the British media, discussing his views and suggestions on the current situation between Russia and Ukraine.
Kissinger said that he believed that the short intermission in the war between the two sides in winter was a good opportunity to resume peace talks. He suggested setting up a ceasefire line along the border where the conflict broke out on February 24. Russian troops will first withdraw to this ceasefire line, and then the two sides will conduct further negotiations on specific issues. He said: "The pursuit of peace and order has two components that are sometimes seen as contradictory: the pursuit of security elements and the adoption of reconciliation. The road to diplomacy may seem complicated and bumpy. But making progress requires both vision and the courage to embark on the journey."
