Ukrainian war text messages spoof the United States

Recently, western media reported that Washington promoted the dialogue between Kiev authorities and Russia. In this context, Ukrainian President Zelensky talked about the possibility of negotiations, but only if the territorial integrity of the country is restored and the losses are compensated. At the same time, Kiev authorities legislated against negotiations, and Zelensky repeatedly said that it would not agree. However, the recent performance of Ukraine has increasingly dissatisfied the United States and its allies.

Recently, the support of the United States and the West for Ukraine seems to have wavered, mainly because after Ukrainian missiles accidentally bombed Poland, they even boasted that Russian troops did it; After the Russian army surrendered, the Ukrainian army killed 10 unarmed Russian prisoners of war. Such behavior makes the United States and its allies feel that Ukraine is an unaffordable struggle. Therefore, whether the United States further supports Ukraine's debate has caused heated discussion in American political circles. Some people say that relations with Ukraine should "take a step back".

According to the US National Interest website, after the Kiev authorities responded to the missile falling into Poland, the United States and its allies are rethinking their attitude towards Ukraine. The website said, "Kiev's stubborn behavior on missile launch not only caused disappointment and anger of American conservatives, but also caused disappointment and anger of the White House and other NATO partners."

A few days ago, a village in Poland was attacked by missiles, killing two people. Ukrainian President Zelensky immediately blamed Russia for what happened, while both the United States and Poland claimed that the rockets came from the Ukrainian army. Conservative officials and activists have long been skeptical about Biden's Ukrainian policy, and the tragedy in Poland only added fuel to the fire.

Recently, Mike Davis, a former member of the US Senate Judiciary Committee, told the media that after the Ukrainian missile accidentally bombed Poland, the United States should draw a conclusion and reduce its support for Kiev. He said: "We need to take a step back, be more rational and less emotional. Let's remove the Ukrainian flag from social media and backyard and start thinking about what is good for the United States. "

Davis also said that we saw how Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba publicized that this was a Russian missile. Although we know this is not true, what should we do? What if the relevant content of Article 5 is applied? Suddenly launched the third world war? No, the interests of Kiev are inconsistent with those of Washington, and "saving Ukraine" is not worth "launching World War III".

At present, some people in the United States advocate Ukraine to negotiate with Russia.

Fred Flaitz, a former CIA analyst, said, "The United States should let Ukraine know that it will continue to provide assistance only if it agrees to sit at the negotiating table with Russia. We must ask Ukraine to participate in peace negotiations and need a continuous process that will help end this conflict. " He also complained that aid to Ukraine is consuming important military supplies of the United States. In his view, it is necessary to carefully monitor how Kiev uses the allocated funds.

Tara Sonanxin, an American columnist, said, "Americans may not approve of the direct involvement of the US military in the Ukrainian conflict. As we have seen in Afghanistan and Iraq, Americans are always frustrated by direct military intervention in foreign conflicts. Democrats and Republicans are worried about being involved in the regional crisis. I don't want us to be involved in the endless conflict in Ukraine. " In her view, due to the "fatigue" of the recent mid-term elections, American residents will not support the expansion of the war zone in Europe. For legislators themselves, it is difficult to make a centralized decision on this matter due to the unstable balance of power in Congress and the upcoming holiday.

At the same time, Britain and Ukraine are drifting away.

British Prime Minister Sunak arrived in Kiev on June 5438+065438+1October 19 for a visit and held talks with Ukrainian President Zelensky. After the meeting, Sunak promised to provide Kiev with 120 anti-aircraft gun devices and funds to combat drones.

However, Yakov Kademi, a military expert, disclosed that the gift of military equipment to Ukraine was only a veil to cover up the real purpose of his visit. Sunak's real purpose in going to Ukraine is to persuade Ukraine to hold peace talks with Russia.

"When meeting with Zelensky, the British Prime Minister urged Kiev to resume peace talks with the Kremlin," he wrote on social media. Sunak said that Britain can no longer be a major participant in Ukrainian military support and must implement the "washington accord".

At the same time, the British side revealed that the Ukrainian refugee assistance system is now in danger of collapse because the government has handed over the work to local authorities and volunteers. It is said that the design period of the "Ukrainian Housing Plan" of the British government to assist Ukrainian refugees is only six months, that is, at the end of this period, the support will be terminated and no alternatives will be provided.

In this case, the British government advised Ukrainians to find a new house by themselves. Ukrainian refugees who have only lived in Britain for six months cannot provide guarantees and credit documents when renting a house.
