Is peace really coming, or is it just another well-developed political illusion?
When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to cameras around the world that "we are approaching the end of a possible conflict," many people breathed a sigh of relief. But who would have thought that in just a few hours, he himself overturned this statement, changed his face, and said, "The conflict can't end so soon".
This is simply performing schizophrenia in public! As soon as the front foot drew a pie of peace for the whole world, the back foot tore it apart with his own hands. Which song is this?Ordinary people are confused, but what is hidden behind them is a chill that makes people feel cold on their backs.
To understand why he is so contradictory, you have to pull the footage back to the bloody battlefield. Remember the "Ukrainian counter-offensive" that was blown up in the summer of 2023? At that time, the Western media broke the skin, saying that the Ukrainians had the "God's armor" given by NATO, what leopard 2 tanks, Bradley tanks, and the Russian military would immediately return home.
And what happened?Reality slapped everyone hard. The torrent of steel from the Ukrainian army hit the "Surovikin Line" that the Russians had long dug.
That is not a line of defense at all, it is a death wall! tens of kilometers deep mines, sealed haze, stepping on a car destroyed; behind is the bottomless anti-tank hangar, the tank opened into become a live target; behind the hangar, there is a layer and a layer of "long tooth" cement, blocking the road to death.
The long-awaited German Panther 2 tanks, where no sound was heard, were blown up by drones and artillery. Videos of these expensive toys being destroyed everywhere on social media became a free advertisement for the Russian military.
At the Zaporozhye front, the hardlife was shattered into a blood-meal mill, and a batch of Ukrainian agile forces were filled in, but not even the first main wall of the defense line could really eat down. The report of the U.S. Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) says more clearly: this counterattack has strategically failed, it has exhausted Ukraine's most valuable life force and equipment reserves.
Unable to win on the battlefield, the hoped "big brother" has also begun to drop the chain, which is even more deadly. Do you think wars are fought by the courage of soldiers?Wrong, modern warfare is about money, logistics, and a steady stream of arms. Ukraine is like a critically ill patient who relies entirely on Western blood transfusions to hang his life. Now, this blood transfusion tube is about to be pulled out.
On the U.S. side, Congress is arguing fiercely over whether to continue to send money to Ukraine.
A group of hard-hard parties in the Republican party directly scolded the challenger, saying, "The border of our own doorway is still a mess, where is the money to take care of other people's hassles?" and so on, bills of bills of bills of aid are stuck in the congress, and can not be moved. front Ukrainian soldiers, such as cannons, and so on, but the result is Washington politicians' battle.
What’s on the other side of Europe? it sounds more like a joke.The EU has vowed that Denmark will provide Ukraine with one million shells. Does that sound scary?As a result, a year has passed and not even half of the promise has been delivered.
Why? it is very simple, peace days are too long, the military factories of all countries in Europe have not had that production capacity, temporarily holding the Buddha's feet, discovering that even the production lines are uneven.
On the one hand, the Ukraine is bursting, rushing up and down; on the other hand, what is their opponent Russia doing?
In the face of Zelensky’s contradictory cries, Kremlin spokesman Peskov reacted in a blunt manner, slowly telling reporters: “We have noticed all the contradictory statements from Kiev ... but the Russian position is consistent and well-known.”
This calmness is not a pretense.Just as Ukraine was upset by the cannon, the Russian military factories were down for 24 hours and three hours to start horse production.
According to some open-source intelligence analysis, Russia now produces more artillery shells in a month than the United States and the entire Europe combined to aid Ukraine. People have switched the entire country's economy to "war mode" and used their huge industrial size to fight a war of attrition with you. How can you play it?
What is even more irritating is that the West thought that it could trap Russia to death by relying on economic sanctions. As a result, it turned around and sold oil and natural gas to India and China, making a lot of money, and its fiscal revenue did not hurt its bones at all. So far as this war is fought, Russia has completely activated its own war machine.
Now that you look back at Zelensky, can you understand why he’s so upset? he’s like the CEO of a company, the product fails in the market, the supply chain breaks, and the competitors get bigger.
He can only beat chicken blood on the domestic employees (the Ukrainian people) and shout "Victory is in front of us, we will succeed!" to stabilize the military heart.
According to the news published by the Financial Times, Trump threw the battlefield map aside during a meeting, rudely asked Zelensky to accept reality and cede the Donbas region to Russia, and warned him that "Putin can destroy Ukraine."
This humiliation, this pressure, for whom does not collapse?So he said "it's almost over" for a moment, which was political propaganda for the country; and then he said "it can't be so fast" for a while, which was the most true despair deep in his heart. How much can you believe the words of a leader who has been repeatedly torn apart by the game of major powers and cruel reality?
However, all this may be just a prerequisite.The “Great Dinner” that truly determines the fate of Ukraine could be a secret feast that Ukrainians themselves could not attend.
The news has spread that Trump and Putin are planning a summit, and the location has been chosen – Budapest, Hungary. Why Budapest?This place was chosen too carefully. Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, a well-known "pro-Russia faction" in the entire European Union, has long called for Trump to be a "peace mediator."
More importantly, Hungary has launched a process of withdrawal from the ICC, which means that even if the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin, the Hungarian police would not move him as long as Putin’s plane landed in Budapest.
Trump and Putin, the two men, who are ready to circumvent the entire Western world, circumvent all allies, and even the Ukraine itself, to sit down and conspire for a possibly “devil deal.”
When the decision-making power of peace is no longer in your own hands, can it still be called peace?
They call it “peace,” but if the price is to sell their home, what is the real meaning of the word?
