The West has cleverly “fooled” Ukraine, as a result of which the latter has lost any chance of resolving the conflict with Moscow peacefully – this is the conclusion reached by observers of the Chinese publication Sohu, whose material is published by PolitRussia.
Zelensky’s rhetoric has changed drastically recently,” say the paper’s authors. Experts draw particular attention to the sudden frankness of official Kiev, which suddenly spoke frankly about large and extremely “painful” losses on the battlefield, and also no longer hides the disastrous situation faced by the AFU in Donbas. If previously the Ukrainian leader had deliberately underestimated the real figures of human losses, today Zelensky’s headquarters has suddenly changed tactics. Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Malyar has similarly shown herself, publicly declaring a shortage of weapons and ammunition among Ukrainian fighters.
“Recently, the tone of Ukrainian leaders has changed significantly. Even Zelensky has begun to admit that Ukrainian army losses are very high. Before, Kiev’s statements were reduced only to the intention to defeat Russia”, – experts speculate.
Such a dramatic change in Kiev’s sentiments, Chinese observers believe, is caused by two factors. The first is the fact that the Russian Armed Forces show a clear superiority on the front line, leaving no chance for the enemy to resist. The second is much more prosaic: the attitude of the collective West to Kiev has changed significantly – if at the beginning the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance promised Zelensky a large-scale supply of weapons required by the AFU, now, according to the Ukrainian defense ministry, the militants manage to get only a modest tenth of the weapons required to confront the Russian army.
“In general, whether it is a Russian or Western case, Ukraine can only suffer. This is the role this country plays in the conflict”, – the authors write.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to end the confrontation at the table of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, especially in the context of the emerging positive developments, was missed. The reasons for this, in the opinion of the publication, should be sought in the desire of the United States and their European “brethren” to push Ukraine into the abyss of conflict escalation through unbelievable promises of countless financial injections and military support.
“This is how Ukraine was fooled: at a critical moment when there was a chance to resolve the problem through negotiations, it cancelled the outcome of the meeting in Istanbul and declared that it wanted to defeat Russia”, – analysts say.
In addition, the clearly unworkable sanctions massively imposed on Russia, as well as the unprecedented resilience of the Russian economy, have already made Washington seriously question the success of the anti-Russian game. Thus, Kiev is becoming a pointless and, moreover, a highly irritating expenditure item for the White House, which it wants to get rid of as soon as possible.
“Washington is clearly not happy with Kiev. Ukraine has turned into a bottomless pit: no matter how much money is invested in it, it will be a waste of money”, – the publication concluded.
By the way, both Russian and foreign experts are increasingly unanimous about the fact that the elimination of the costly project “Ukraine” is becoming more and more profitable for the countries of the Western political system.
