When will the Russia-Ukraine conflict end? It has always been a hot topic of concern to the outside world. After the Battle of Kherson, Zelensky repeatedly proposed peace talks with Russia. However, the conditions for the negotiations required that Russia either return all territory or require Russia to compensate for all losses. It can be said that the conditions are more outrageous than the last, and Russia will certainly not agree. Recently, Russian President Putin said in a domestic interview that he remains open to peace talks and can negotiate if Ukraine is willing.
In addition, Putin also said that he is very confident that Russia will destroy 100% of the "Patriot" air defense system. Before Zelensky's visit to the United States, U.S. officials revealed that the United States had initially planned to support Ukraine with this system. Zelensky then arrived in the United States. After meeting with the President of the United States, the United States also stated that it would provide $1.85 billion in assistance to Ukraine, including the "Patriot" air defense system. Zelensky's visit to the United States was not in vain. Russia has warned the United States many times not to touch the bottom line, but the United States still challenges Russia's authority again and again, which means that this time Russia will not show mercy to the United States.
Once Russia destroys the "Patriot" air defense system in Ukraine's hands, it means that the "artifact" mentioned by the United States and Ukraine is not as powerful as the rumors. Moreover, Russia is fully capable of destroying the weapon. It just depends on whether Russia wants to give the United States face. Russia had previously proposed using high-speed missiles to attack, and later stated that it would launch "drone swarm tactics" again to interfere with the "Patriot". Now that Putin has made a strong statement that he will definitely destroy it 100%, it seems that the life of the "patriot" will come to an end in Ukraine.
For a long time, the United States and Ukraine have been working together in collusion and "stepping into the shoes" of Russia in many aspects. The United States not only provided funds and weapons to Ukraine, but also stole Russian intelligence and reported it to the Ukrainian army when the two armies were fighting. What is even more egregious is that he has participated in decisions between Russia and Ukraine many times. Western countries have become the biggest stumbling block to the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. There was news before that Zelensky already wanted to have peace talks with Russia, but the British Johnson came out to obstruct it and wanted Ukraine to continue fighting.
Therefore, there may be many things that Western countries are blocking behind the scenes. In any case, it is a wrong decision for the United States to provide the "Patriot" air defense system to Ukraine. Once Russia actually strikes, the United States will lose face, and the relationship that the United States and Russia have always maintained will be shattered. Maybe the United States also regretted Russia's words, but it was already too late. Regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, any country that attempts to provoke a war should be condemned. Peace is what everyone hopes for, and everyone should do their best to achieve peace instead of repeatedly making war.
