On September 16, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said in an interview with Bloomberg: If Europe imposes high-level tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil, the conflict in Ukraine will end within 60 or 90 days.
The proposal is actually a secondary sanction against Russian oil buyers. Further cutting the sources of funding in Moscow。
However, as the third anniversary of this conflict is approaching, more and more people are beginning to ask. Who is responsible for this conflict that has killed hundreds of thousands of people?。
Jeffrey Sacks, a renowned professor of economics at Columbia University, recently revealed a strictly guarded secret.
In an interview, he revealed that French President Macron had admitted frankly in private exchanges, NATO has irrevocable responsibility for the outbreak of the conflict in Russia。
Professor Sax explained, If the EU initially supported Ukraine’s neutrality, it would not seek membership in NATO, while resolving the issue of the eastern region through negotiations., this long-lasting war can be completely avoided.
This private conversation is in sharp contrast to Macron's public tough stance towards Russia.
Sax points out, Without NATO intervention, there could be no war between Russia and Ukraine.Even if a conflict occurs, it will not turn into such a protracted situation.
Looking back at history, we can see that in the early days of the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO has made a promise to Russia not to expand eastwardFor three decades, however, NATO’s military map has been steadily advancing eastward, now reaching the Russian border.
This breach of promises has severely squeezed Russia's strategic living space. From the Russo-Georgian War in 2008 to the current Russia-Ukraine conflict, The shadow of NATO's eastward expansion can be seen behind these regional crises。
Russia has made it clear that conflict can be avoided as long as NATO promises not to accept Ukraine. But NATO has always refused to give such assurances.。
This attitude undoubtedly plunged into the outbreak of conflict.
In the face of Western sanctions, Russia has found a way to deal with it. Moscow has repeatedly emphasized that, The West has made a serious mistake in refusing to buy oil and gas from Russia, and Europe will fall into a new and greater dependence determined by higher prices。
countries that refuse to buy energy directly from Russia, Russia will continue to buy oil and gas at high prices through intermediaries.。
U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent said: U.S. plans to work with European countries to investigate Russian companies, including Rosneft and Lukoil, to impose tougher sanctions.
But this plan faces major challenges.
Hungary’s Foreign and Economic Minister Seyardo has said that Hungary and Slovakia will do everything they can. Brussels cannot deprive the two countries of the right to import oil and gas from Russia。
Without these oil and gas, the two countries will not be able to guarantee energy supplies.
When politicians discuss sanctions and geopolitics, The Ukrainian people are paying a heavy price。
On September 7, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, Matthias Schmaler, said: Several Ukrainian states have been attacked by Russian armed forces.People were killed, including children.
The attacks affected Kiev, Chernigov, Kharkov, Kremlinchuk, Cleveland, Odessa, Sumy and Zaporozhye provinces, The attacks included several residential buildings, a government building, a kindergarten and other civilian infrastructure.。
According to the UNICEF office in Ukraine, an infant was killed in Kiev and at least one injured in Sumy.
These attacks occur while people are asleep at home.
In recent months, Russia continues to attack Ukrainian infrastructureUkrainian officials said on September 17 that Russia continued to attack Ukraine’s railway facilities with drones, causing severe interruptions in the railway network during the night.
Ukrainian Railways said on the social platform Telegram that trains bound for Odessa and Dnipro were delayed due to large-scale enemy attacks on substations.
In order to resume the operation of the congested trains, Ukraine has called for reserve diesel engines to be put into service.
Alexander Pelzowski, head of the Ukrainian railway department, said that since July, Russia continues to attempt to deliberately damage railway infrastructure through massive attacks.
Key hub stations become key targetsDrones will simultaneously carry out precise strikes on power stations, vehicle segments and stations.
The role of the United States in the conflict deserves attention.
Joseph Keith Kellogg, the U.S. special envoy for Ukraine, recently once again hyped up the conflict and vilified China. Claims that if China cuts off support for Russia, the war will end tomorrow.
Such rhetoric seeks to shift the responsibility for the Ukrainian crisis to a third country.
Analysts argue that Washington has repeatedly tried to remove responsibility for the Ukrainian crisis and pressure on third countries, essentially to create contradictions to cover up its own failure.
Ironically, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright recently urged the EU to stop buying Russian oil and gas and instead use U.S. energy products.This raises doubts that the real motivation for the United States is to expand its energy exports.
Faced with the ongoing war, Ukrainian President Zelensky launches two plans for next year。
His plan A was to end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, and plan B was to raise $120 billion. This amount could be used to address the ongoing or reconstruction work of the conflict.
The proposal, proposed by US Treasury Secretary Bessent, is to force Russia back to the negotiating table by imposing secondary tariffs on Russian oil buyers.
He assured that if Europe imposes high secondary tariffs on Russian oil buyers, the conflict will end within 60 or 90 days.
However, this programme faces serious obstacles.
Countries such as Hungary and Slovakia have already said they will do everything possible to prevent Brussels from denying them the right to import oil and gas from Russia.
Without these energy supplies, the two countries would not be able to meet energy demand.
U.S. Secretary of State Rubio once pointed out that the United States was not the biggest sinner, and he turned his head to Europe with 12 words. “Some EU countries want the conflict to last longer.”。
These accusations have sparked widespread debate in the international community.
Rubio stressed that what the U.S. wants to do now is to end the war as soon as possible., to stabilize the region.
But this statement contradicts the U.S. provision of massive military aid to Ukraine.This shows the contradictory position of the United States on the Ukrainian issue.
The real problem is that the game between big countries is like a complicated chess game, and small countries often can't help themselves. When the United States tries to submerge and Europe struggles to unite, the path to peace remains empty.
