The Ukrainian army has done a big job recently. Fourteen drones attacked the hinterland of the Russian army at night and directly blew up six Iskander missile vehicles, worth more than 700 million US dollars.
The Ukrainian side boasts that intelligence work is in place, but the Russian military has always defended strictly how can there be such a large leakage? there is a suspicion that there are traitors inside the Russian military, because there is already a front-car identity, recently wanted former Russian officer Lev Stupnikov, who admitted to selling his teammates for seven months, leading to the deaths of 200 Russian soldiers.
Moreover, none of the vehicles attacked this time were loaded with ammunition and were concentrated in fixed sites. They were obviously logistical reserves rather than combat deployment. Therefore, it is very likely that the Ukrainian army obtained precise coordinates through the internal device.
From another perspective, the Ukrainian drone is now more and more fierce. Zelensky also began to "float" and boasted that he had a drone with a range of 3000 kilometers, but also opened up arms exports.
But don't forget that the Russian army is not vegetarian, for this loss will surely retaliate, the future war will only be more tragic.Zelensky boasted to play, praise the Ukrainian army is strong, nothing but want to paint for the West, see, we can win, fast to beat money! but this tactical victory, can reverse the disadvantage of the front?
Just after the drone strike seriously injured the Russian army, Zelensky issued two major dangerous signals to China!
Signal 1: Please the United States and shape China into an "enemy of Europe"
The World Wide Web that Zelensky, in the face of the Chinese delegation, spread the word, He said exaggeratedly that if China wants to truly end the war, it can completely force Putin to stop, and also sharply mocked China as “silent and remote.”
Zelensky has repeatedly said that letting China force Russia to cease the war is to put China on the trial bench of "not taking sides or being guilty". The subtext of this rhetoric is: Since China maintains normal trade with Russia, it must be "responsible" for the war.He did so, obviously intentionally. – Why? – Because Ukraine can’t stand it.
Don't look at Trump's current attitude, pushing for Ukraine and even supporting the recovery of all lost land, but the reality is that Trump is throwing all responsibilities to Europe, and Europe has found this, and has begun to use American weapons, and between the United States and Europe has emerged mutual pushing, which is not a good thing for Zelensky, after all, he wants real gun and gun support, not verbal statements.
Now Zelensky is in a panic. He has to find a new target. Binding China and Russia together, shaping China into a "enemy of Europe" forced Western allies to rush to "stand up" and raise a lot of military aid.
But the problem is that China is not a soft tomato.The Chinese side has consistently emphasized neutrality, persuaded and promoted negotiations, Zelensky does not want to play China as a "rebel", which is too risky, if China changes its attitude, Ukraine will be more isolated.
Signal 2: Using drone technology to provoke, imitating China-Russia strategic deterrence
Zelensky says that Ukraine’s drone capabilities are deeply targeting Russia and mocking “the large and thick missiles in parade,” clearly pointing to China’s intercontinental nuclear deterrence force, a comparison that is both to highlight Ukraine’s “technical reversal” and suggests that “small countries can also counter big powers.”
In addition, it is also clearly stating that China and Russia, Ukraine already has long-range strike capabilities and does not rule out spreading technology to "friendly countries"In conjunction with Ukraine’s previous public pursuit of arms exports, Zelensky is saying that if China continues to “allocate” Ukraine, it could create new strategic pressure in the Asia-Pacific region through technological cooperation.
In the face of Zelensky’s dirty water, China did not jump, but responded calmly: The Chinese side has always been "lightly lukewarm", persuading and promoting talks from the first day of the crisis.
China is not defending it, but reminding the world that China is truly neutral. Let's recall that China has already released the "Position Paper on the Political Resolution of the Ukrainian Crisis", which covers all aspects of the twelve propositions. Chinese special envoys are still running between Europe, Russia and Ukraine. This kind of pragmatic diplomacy is much better than the United States just shouting slogans. Zelensky's insistence on China's "inaction" is purely lying with his eyes open.
In turn, all of these delusions that Zelensky insisted on came from his strategic misjudgment. He believed that China was Russia’s “savior” and the Russian army would be defeated if China confessed.But the reality is that Russia is a nuclear power, war decisions are independent, and Chinese trade is just normal exchanges, not military support.
Zelensky thinks so because he lives in the Western Syriza, and the United States always binds China-Russia together, and he leaves it.But China's diplomatic logic is "common and different," and it is possible to dialogue with Russia at the same time, and this unique position should have been a bridge for peace, but Zelensky does not want to break the bridge.
He forgot that most countries in the world are neutral and don't want to choose sides. For example, India and Brazil all support China's plan. Zelensky will only isolate himself by forcing the world to accept the Ukrainian perspective.
In the end, his misjudgment stems from despair: the U.S. military doesn’t stop, Europe hates war, and he can only bet on China as a guilty sheep.But this bet, the win side is too small, China will not fit, and the Russian military will not surrender.
And Ukraine’s survival is based on peace agreements rather than arms accumulation. At present, the bottom line between Russia and Ukraine is clear, Russia cannot give up the controlled four states of the East, and it is difficult for Ukraine to accept territorial concessions. In this impasse, China’s three-step “fire-negotiation-reconstruction” plan is the only realistic path.
Now Zelensky's gesture of confrontation will only isolate neutral countries and further compress diplomatic space, and eventually Ukraine may really "fight to the last."
In fact, both sides are exhausted from the war until now. Zelensky's provocation may deceive aid in the short term, but in the long run it is playing with fire. Trump's current strong support for Ukraine is essentially to put pressure on Russia to make concessions, not really helping Ukraine regain lost ground.
If Zelensky is wise, he should rely on China to resume peace talks.But he is now in trouble, domestic nationalism rises, and one step back may be overthrown.The Russian army, although lost, has the overall advantage, and will not easily blow out the war.
The most likely outcome is an escalation of the stalemate until one side collapses. What about China? Will continue to persuade peace, but won't endorse anyone.
