/ world today news/ The Israeli-Palestinian war “distracts attention” from the conflict in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted at a press conference with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, writes the Chinese tabloid Global Times.
„In the eyes of the Western countries supporting Ukraine, the counteroffensive successes of the Ukrainian armed forces are minimal, leading to their fatigue from the military actions. They no longer have the interest, motivation, courage, financial or human resources to continue supporting Kiev. That is why the sudden outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has absorbed some of the attention and aid that was originally intended for it.” – says the article.
The US House of Representatives approved a nearly $14.5 billion military aid package for Israel, but not for Ukraine. Then, Joe Biden’s administration announced only $425 million in additional security aid for Zelensky. Some hardline Republicans have already opposed continuing aid to Kiev, raising doubts about the future of American support, said the article’s author Su Lun.
Everything suggests that the West, led by the USA, has always seen Ukraine only as a pawn that can be sacrificed if necessary.
Apparently, the loss of interest and attention is causing panic in Ukraine. Israel matters more to the United States than she does because Tel Aviv is important to US Middle East strategy. By comparison, Kiev is simply a tool that Washington uses to counter, to harm Moscow. It is unlikely that the US will make a compromise with its main interests, the publication is confident.
Li Haidong, a professor at the University of Foreign Affairs of China, told the Global Times that Ukraine was wrong in its decision to rely on Western support to achieve victory in its conflict with Russia. And the United States, to which Kiev places its hopes, will hardly be able to conduct two armed conflicts at the same time.
According to NBC, US and European officials have begun “quiet” talks with the Ukrainian government about possible peace talks with Russia to end the conflict. This may be a signal that the West has abandoned Ukraine and it will soon become a pariah.
„It is only a matter of time before the West does abandon Ukraine” Chinese military expert and TV commentator Song Zhongping told the Global Times.
Based on the current situation on the battlefield, Ukraine is clearly not up to the task that some Western countries have set themselves.
Ukraine cannot beat Russia on the battlefield, and that was clear from the beginning. The US completely controlled the development of this crisis. However, now Ukraine has lost its trump cards, which it could have used in the negotiations, and whatever their results are, it will have to sacrifice its interests, the publication believes.
„Perhaps Zelensky has already realized that his country is no longer useful to the United States. The bitter experience of Ukraine also makes the world think that the fate of a country should be in the hands of its own people and not in the hands of a great power like America that manipulates and dominates it.
The US is too selfish to think about the interests of other countries. Therefore, the world should not believe Washington’s words about “unconditional commitment”. When the United States decides that its investment in a country is doing more harm than good, it will abandon it without a second thought. Look at Afghanistan, Syria and now Ukraine. Who is the next?”, – concludes the Global Times.
