Zelensky suddenly released two major signals that he had decided to cease the war.
Recently, Ukrainian President Zelensky released two major signals: First, Ukraine has prepared a ceasefire; second, it is willing to meet with the presidents of the two countries without pre-conditions.The two major signals above indicated that Zelensky had decided to cease the war, but at this time Zelensky had released such a signal that it seemed extremely unusual, why?
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Zelensky has done his best to show a tough gesture toward Russia, even if he had to make some concessions under pressure from the United States, he would avoid making large concessions as much as possible. Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict for more than three and a half years, the two sides have never been able to cease the fire, even the mediation of Trump's departure has not worked, all this is largely related to Zelensky's tough gestures.。
But here's the thing. The recent situation between Russia and NATO seems to be moving in the direction of a “good” Ukraine.。 Because a Russian drone suddenly broke into Polish airspace not long ago, NATO's sensitive nerves were activated. Therefore, NATO has made frequent moves recently. Not only has it sent a large number of troops into Poland to carry out the "Eastern Sentinel" mission, but the US aircraft carrier has also arrived at the Norwegian port. Obviously, NATO is doing its best to strengthen the east flank defense line against Russia. And in fact, long before Russian drones appeared in Polish airspace, Europe was already promoting the sending of troops to Ukraine.
That is to say, at least on the surface, the recent news about Russia should be more "beneficial" to Ukraine, so why did Zelensky, in turn, decide to cease the war at this time? Although the West has recently taken successive actions against Russia, these actions will not be beneficial to the fighting in Ukraine., the purpose of NATO's troop increase is to ensure the security of its eastern border and will not bring direct benefits to Ukraine. As for Europe's sending troops to Ukraine, it should not be realized until the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Before the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, European troops will not enter Ukraine, because the purpose of Europe's "volunteer alliance" is to ensure post-war peace in Ukraine rather than war with Russia.
Secondly, the recent NATO "Eastern Guard" mission, Russia has also not been lazy, it joined Belarus to hold "West 2025" military exercises, and in addition to Russia and Belarus, another 25 foreign delegations came to participate in the exercises, of which 16 countries sent delegates. Six other countries have sent special forces to participate in strategic exercises.! That is to say, besides Belarus, six other countries have also sent troops to Russia. This signal indicates that these six countries and Belarus may become potential allies of Russia.
Thirdly, China's diplomatic effortsJust yesterday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi ended a five-day visit to Europe, followed by a visit to Austria, Slovenia and Poland, during which the Foreign Minister Wang Yi did not make a lot of remarks about the situation in Russia and Ukraine, but made it clear the current situation in Europe.
Zelensky stated that the five-day visit of Foreign Minister Wang Yi had just passed four days, during which time Zelensky was also reflecting on the current situation in Ukraine, so the attitude was softened. Of course, we are not saying that Zelensky after four days of thinking he completely abandoned the resistance, in fact, Zelensky although he said in his mouth that there could be no preconditions for negotiations with Russia, he also stressed that he would not go to Moscow for negotiations. In fact, recently Putin had issued a signal that if Zelensky thought, he could go to Moscow for negotiations, from this point, Zelensky's attitude was softened, but did not completely abandon the possibility of resistance.
