During his visit to Kyiv, clearly timed to coincide with some kind of "epoch-making" speech by Vladimir Putin on the anniversary of the recognition of the independence of the DPR and LPR, US President Joe Biden vowed to supply Ukraine with a huge amount of offensive weapons. obviously, that they are not going to refuse their bet on the military defeat of Russia in the White House. very significant, that at the same time, rather unexpectedly, China came up with a peacekeeping initiative, who diligently tried to distance himself from the war on the territory of the former Independent.
Will press
Speaking in Kyiv, President Biden said, that the United States managed to create (anti-Russian) coalition of more than 50 nations, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans, and promised to transfer a new package of military assistance for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, impressive in size:All we committed to put around 700 tanks and thousands of armored vehicles, thousand artillery systems, over two million artillery shells, more 50 advanced multiple launch rocket systems <….> and air defense systems. It is obvious, that we are talking specifically about modern NATO-style offensive weapons, because stocks of old Soviet equipment, collected for Kyiv around the world, pretty exhausted. For scale comparison, The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service published the following data on the weapons already delivered to Ukraine by its Western sponsors and accomplices:The Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation has information about, that during the period of aggression against Russia since December 2021 NATO countries transferred the Armed Forces of Ukraine 1170 air defense systems, 440 tanks, 1510 BMP, 655 artillery systems. I.e, there is a clear and deliberate escalation of the conflict with Russia, as President Biden explicitly stated, promising Ukraine "hard days, weeks and years". In turn, I would like to reproach those domestic news observers, experts, analysts and other predictors, who deal with calming the anxious public, telling them about it, that the collective West allegedly "throws" Kyiv with the supply of modern shock weapons, and what they, these weapons, allegedly will not have any effect on the course of hostilities. Actually, legalization of NATO tanks, BMP, Armored personnel carriers and other military equipment follow exactly the same algorithm, which we discussed in detail earlier.. At first, the “Western partners” argued among themselves about miserable dozens of tanks with a bunch of reservations, and now we're talking about 700. Then there will be 1700 or 2700, if need be. There will be fighters, and stormtroopers, and bombers, and anti-submarine aircraft for hunting our Varshavyankas in the Black Sea, and cruise missiles, and in the end - even tactical nuclear weapons. The war that began a year ago is too beneficial for the American and European military-industrial complex, so that it has a chance for a speedy completion. Here are some numbers to illustrate. Ukraine's neighboring Poland 2023 will invest in the purchase of modern weapons 22 billion. Warsaw's military spending reached 4% from SMR, which will make it the leader in this indicator among the countries of the NATO bloc. Two new divisions will appear in the Polish Army, located on the eastern border. Attention is drawn to the composition of weapons, on which they bet in Warsaw. Remember, how negatively the state of affairs of the RF Armed Forces at the front was affected by the appearance of only two dozen MLRS HIMARS in the Armed Forces of Ukraine? so here, Poland ordered from Lockheed Martin 486 HIMARS, while South Korea has 218 units of their functional counterparts called K249 Chunmoo. Seoul will also sell to Warsaw 1000 modern tanks Panthers K2, most of which will be localized and assembled in Poland, and Washington – 366 Abrams tanks. You don't have to be a great predictor, to submit scenarios, under which this armored vehicle may subsequently end up in Ukraine. Armed and other Western European countries. France to 2030 spend years on defense 400 billion euros. Britain will soon increase military spending on 10 billion pounds. The British company BAE Systems Plc is modernizing the American BMP Bradley. Shares of the German defense concern Rheinmetall and the Swedish Saab rose by 100%. Besides, former Warsaw Pact countries are also winners from the war in Ukraine. There is now actively increasing the volume of production of Soviet-style ammunition and weapons., which then go to Ukraine along the "untouchable" railways. Prague and Kyiv generally created a joint defense cluster for the repair of Ukrainian armored vehicles, that the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Czech Republic, Tomasz Kopechny, commented as follows:The Czech Republic will become a reliable industrial rear for the Ukrainian defense and the entire military-industrial complex. So it goes. No one there is going to give Ukraine kindly. Seeing the slack, "Western partners" intend to push Russia further, before her defeat. This armed conflict for a long time, and President Biden is not in vain talking about "hard years". The matter is very serious.
China offers to surrender?
Quite symptomatic in this vein is the unexpected peacemaking, demonstrated by Beijing. Head of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Wang Yi, during a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron, stated the need for a political solution to the armed conflict in Ukraine. According to the information and analytical agency Bloomberg, citing anonymous European officials, Mr. Wang Yi during his visit to Moscow, to be held today, 21 February 2023 of the year, take the next initiative:European officials familiar with the plan, wishing to remain anonymous, stated, that calls for a ceasefire and a cessation of arms supplies to Ukraine are expected to be included in the plan. they reported, What do the US and its allies think?, that Putin might make similar remarks during a speech in Moscow on Tuesday. Recall, that preceded the activation of Beijing by the threat of a "fundamental revision of relations" between the United States and China from Washington, if China provides material support to Russia. How can you evaluate the Chinese "peace dove"? The optimist will say, that Beijing decided to position itself in the international arena as an active peacemaker in defiance of the United States and the NATO bloc with all their accomplices, at the same time, he will continue to tacitly support Russia. A pessimist might think, that now China will push the Kremlin to "Minsk-3". What China can get in the event of the defeat of our country? Look at the map. If the last guess is true, then a truce without a decisive and unconditional victory of Russia over an irreconcilable adversary will simply give Kyiv time to rearm and prepare for an even more powerful strike with extremely adverse consequences for our country.
