However, CNN reported that Zelensky admitted on Thursday that Ukraine had indeed launched an anti-aircraft missile. But he said: "I don't know what happened. We don't know for sure. The world doesn't know. But I'm sure it was a Russian missile and I'm sure we fired it from an air defense system." He added that only after an investigation could Draw conclusions about which missiles landed on Polish territory.

The missile incident makes the situation in Russia and Ukraine more complicated: Europe is very afraid that the United States will find it difficult to handle

Recently, with the huge border dispute between Poland and Ukraine There was an explosion, missiles fell from the sky, and two civilians were killed.

Europe, the United States, and NATO are alarmed. They urgently need to find out one thing, that is, whether the missile comes from Russia. After the initial noise, all parties have some clues, all pointing to the same clue-the missile may have been launched by Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Zelensky denied that the missiles came from Ukraine. Unexpectedly, US President Biden immediately refuted it, saying that Zelensky’s statement was “not evidence.”

Obviously, this matter has once again warned the world that the situation surrounding the Ukraine crisis is becoming increasingly complex!

Europe is scared

On the night of November 15, local time, two explosions were heard in Hrubeszow County, eastern Poland, close to Ukraine. The incident killed two people. Citizens die. Not only Poland, but also Moldova, another neighboring country of Ukraine, was hit by missiles, causing local blackouts.

This incident has set off alarm bells in Europe.

Being beaten is really a beating, and being afraid is really scary, especially for a small country. It can be seen from Poland's improvement of the combat readiness level of its military units and the Baltic countries' renewed mention of setting up a "no-fly zone" in western Ukraine that small European countries have suffered a wave of severe psychological shocks and are worried.

"Russia Today" quoted live pictures posted on social media

Europe, Europe, once a peaceful and peaceful continent, is now at war with brothers, war is spreading, and people are living in dire straits.

People are not only worried about gasoline, heating bills and bread, but also worried about the high inflation of 6-7. Now they are also worried about whether there will be "sightless missiles" that will "randomly" fall on them one day. On your own head?

This is the tragedy of Europe and a warning to the world. Everyone is reflecting, how did things become like this?

It is difficult for the United States to deal with it

Europe is of course very anxious, and they all look at the United States across the ocean.

The missile’s path is likely to exceed the psychological expectations of the United States, that is, it will fly outside Ukraine. This incident immediately made the United States stand up and even affected the established agenda of the G20 Summit held in Bali, Indonesia.

U.S. President Biden urgently convened the leaders of the Group of Seven and NATO to discuss, and several "famous scene" photos were born. Let’s take a look at this photo first. In the photo, everyone’s expressions are intriguing, and the photographer’s shooting angle is even more intriguing. ↓↓

There were only two people sitting at the scene, one was the "big brother" the President of the United States, and the other was the new British president who was still hot in No. 10 Downing Street. It was his first time to see such a big occasion as the G20. Prime Minister Sunak.

U.S. President Biden pointed his finger under his nose and seemed to be thinking about something. French President Macron, German Chancellor Scholz, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and others stood around, and Biden's "strategist" US Secretary of State Blinken also came over.

Look again at this photo posted by Biden on his Twitter account. He himself is the absolute center and the absolute protagonist, reflecting the status of the United States, and leaders of allied countries are surrounding him. . ↓↓

In the photo, Trudeau, Sunak and others are listening attentively; Macron and Scholz are holding their chins in thought; the President of the European Commission Von der Leyen and European Council President Michel were listening across from each other; there was also the only leader who was blocked in the corner and brought an English translator to the meeting - Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

The mystery doesn’t stop there. It stands to reason that when NATO holds a small meeting, senior member Turkey should also be included, but Turkish President Erdogan, who also attended the G20 meeting, was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that Erdogan had already stated that Turkey believed that the missile explosion had nothing to do with Russia

Unexpectedly, after the meeting, Biden came to a conclusion similar to Turkey: the missile was "unlikely" to be Russian. launched. Biden further revealed that the explosion may have been caused by a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile.

Not only did it help Russia to clear up relations, but it also directly named Ukraine? Is this still the America we are familiar with?

There is reason to believe that the U.S. government is beginning to worry:

——Biden is worried that after the mid-term elections, his opponent Trump and the party will create obstacles for him and hinder large-scale aid to Ukraine. .

——The United States is worried that Ukraine is becoming more and more "disobedient". For example, it has begun to push Ukraine and Russia to resume talks, but Ukraine fired missiles at Poland.

——The United States is worried that the crisis it provoked will eventually get out of control and push Russia into panic.

——The United States is worried that this will burn the flames of NATO member states and put itself into a moral dilemma of whether to send troops.

In short, Russia can be "bloodletted," Ukraine can be sacrificed, and Poland can be implicated, but as the only profiteer in the chaos, the United States must not be involved. Therefore, this time, the United States personally "slaps" Ukraine in the face.

Poland was very aggrieved

At first, Poland, which was beaten, immediately stood up and accused Russia. Not only did it agree with Ukrainian President Zelensky *** that this was "Russian terror" Attack", Poland also summoned the Russian ambassador.

As a result, the "eldest brother" the United States and the Russian Ministry of Defense agreed that Ukraine did it.

The opinion of the Russian Ministry of Defense is that Russian military experts studied photos of damaged facilities in Poland and determined that the missile fragments were S-300 anti-aircraft missiles equipped by Ukraine. Failure to intercept Russian missiles? Deviation during launch? In short, Ukraine has repeatedly denied any involvement.

What is intriguing is that Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov emphasized two points:

First, the "anti-Russian sentiment" caused by the missile crash in Poland is unacceptable.

2. The "restraint" and "more professionalism" of the United States and the President of the United States are worthy of attention and consideration.

Calling the “mortal enemy” the United States “restrained and professional”? Such wording also allows us to see a different Russia.

Polish President Duda changed his statement, which is also very interesting. At first he told reporters that it might be a "Russian-made missile", and then he said:

Poland is responding calmly. There is currently no conclusive evidence that the explosion at the border was a deliberate attack on Poland, and it may have been an isolated incident. This missile was not aimed at Poland. Poland also has no evidence to prove that the missile was launched by Russia. Most likely it is a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile.

At the critical moment when the United States "slaps" Ukraine in the face, Russia comes to beat it again, leaving Poland, which was punched inexplicably, dumb and eating coptis, and can only "cope with it calmly."

NATO is very delicate

Now the situation is very embarrassing, because the missile explosion has changed from the thrilling hypothesis of "Russian missiles attack NATO member states, NATO will fight back" to The reversal drama of "NATO member states fighting themselves" has emerged.

Poland initially planned to convene NATO Council consultations based on Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. According to this clause, when the territorial integrity, political independence or security of NATO member states is threatened, at the initiative of any member state, NATO member states will conduct emergency consultations.

However, German sources revealed that the emergency meeting of the G7 and NATO members in Bali was not convened in accordance with this clause. Afterwards, Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki stated that Poland would give up activating this clause this time. What twists and turns it has gone through is unknown.

NATO stipulates that “when any party to the contracting party is subject to an armed attack, it shall be regarded as an attack on all contracting parties.” But this time, no matter the United States, NATO, Russia or Poland itself, they all said that the missile is more likely to come from Ukraine. Not from Russia, anyway.

NATO’s embarrassment is a matter of face, and the need to use force is a matter of dignity. NATO is unwilling to have a direct conflict with Russia at this stage, or rather will not, over Poland. Don't lose face, keep it. What's more, Russia has realized that someone is "trying to provoke a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO."

The situation is very complex

In fact, people should note that as a military alliance that has not disintegrated since the end of the Cold War, it is NATO that is constantly updating strategic concepts and intensifying its global expansion. It is the source of constant conflicts and chaos.

The United States and NATO "restrained" once, which means nothing. It cannot be ruled out that NATO will not have a large-scale direct conflict with Russia in the future.

Everything is traceable. Just as Biden was trying to "put out the fire" for the missile incident, US Defense Secretary Austin still "bombarded" Russia on the 16th local time, saying that "no matter what conclusion is drawn, Russia bears the ultimate responsibility for this matter." Polish Ambassador to NATO Satkovsky also placed the ultimate responsibility on Russia.

The situation is complex, the struggle is fierce, and the lessons are profound.

Don’t forget how the previous “bucha incident”, the bombardment of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the explosion and leakage of the “Nord Stream” pipeline, and the “dirty bomb” incident have all become one incident after another. "Rashomon" scene. And in the end, who is the winner?

Perhaps, the more dangerous moment is still ahead.
