Even with the final victory, Russia is still the loser in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict?With the European Union firing a ninth shot at Russia, the palace has been forced to the corner of the wall, what should Putin do?

The European Commission recently issued a press release, issuing a ninth loan of macro-financial assistance to Ukraine, so the EU has already fired nine shots on Russia. More importantly, this time the EU not only helped Ukraine in huge amounts, up to four billion euros, but also caused heavy damage to Russian interests, why? because The 4 billion euros actually come from frozen Russian assets¡£

After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia¡¯s foreign assets were frozen by the West, of which more than 200 billion euros were frozen by the European Union. Early in the Biden era, the United States repeatedly instigated the EU to use Russian assets abroad to aid Ukraine, before the EU had used some of the revenues generated by frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, causing the Russian side to erupt anger. This time the EU took another 4 billion euros, which is undoubtedly unacceptable by the Russian side. Russian President's press secretary, Peskov, called the EU's attempt to illegally confiscate Russian assets "naughty theft" and said the price would be paid by all participants, including the individuals involved and the country that made the relevant decisions, and Russia would never ignore it.¡£

The question is, what will Russia do now? Russia may be able to counter the EU, but it may not really be possible to find any good solution to stop the EU from continuing to deliberately distribute its overseas assets, because if there were a response, Russia would have acted long before the West had used Russian assets to help Ukraine.You may be wondering, why does Russian President Putin not find a way to stop Europe?

Because Putin can most effectively deal with the West, there are only two cards: energy and military. First of all, energy cards, because the West has greatly reduced energy cooperation with Russia after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, the effectiveness of this card has actually been greatly reduced, and energy cards are related to the Russian economy and government fiscal income, so Putin does not have much operational space in energy strategy.¡£

The military card can be divided into two types, conventional military and nuclear weapons, the latter is mainly used to prevent NATO from directly engaging in the war, and the space to play in addition is not especially large. The former is more troubling, because the fact that Putin does not want a conflict with the West, the recent appearance of "Russian drones" NATO state airspace has brought great shock to the West, the West again begins to hype the possibility of a war with Russia. In this, the Russian side has to reiterate once again clearly that they do not want to fight with the West. The question is whether the West will believe? obviously not, so they have recently greatly strengthened the defense deployment of the Eastern Wing, even to build a "drone wall", Russian military pressure will increase.

Look, just the invasion of "Russian drones" has caused the West to react so much, at this time, If Putin puts military pressure on the West, what consequences do you think will be? it is likely to trigger what Putin would never want to see, so in the face of the division of Russian assets, Putin may not be very willing to use the military card at the moment, due to the consideration of the Russian security space.¡£

Combined with the fact that Russia has consumed a lot of national resources since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we have reason to believe that although Russia is extremely angry when seeing Ukraine receiving another 4 billion euros, Putin may not be able to come up with particularly effective means at the moment. To prevent the West from continuing to use its foreign assets. It is precisely because of this that the Kremlin is currently close to being pushed into a corner. This trend continues to develop. Sooner or later, the West will focus on Russian assets and principal. Even if Russia wins in the East Ukrainian Battlefield, they will become the biggest loser in this Russia-Ukraine conflict except Ukraine. Faced with this situation, Putin's only response plan should be to win the conflict as soon as possible and not give the West too much room for maneuver.
