UN General Assembly urgently adopts “peace formula”
According to a CCTV news report on February 24, on February 23 local time, the United Nations General Assembly continued to hold an emergency special meeting on the situation in Ukraine. At the meeting that day, the General Assembly adopted the “Peace Formula” draft resolution jointly submitted by 75 countries, including Ukraine, with 141 votes in favor, 7 votes against, and 32 abstentions. The draft stresses the urgency of seeking a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in Ukraine consistent with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
“From the perspective of the conflicting parties, no matter whether Russia’s resources, its own preset goals, the price it is willing to pay for negotiations, or the will of the Russian and Ukrainian people to continue fighting, in fact, none of them have been exhausted, nor have they been exhausted. There is a situation where one side is completely unable to continue fighting,” Ding Chun, vice president of the Chinese Society of Europe and director of the Center for European Studies at Fudan University, pointed out to a reporter from the Daily Economic News (hereinafter referred to as the headline reporter).“The Russia-Ukraine conflict cannot be won or lost militarily in the short term. As long as the fight can continue, the goals of both sides can only be achieved on the front line of the conflict.”
Ding Chun pointed out that outside of Russia and Ukraine, Europe bears the brunt (in terms of losses), and its security environment and geopolitical situation have seriously deteriorated over the past year. “Europe has been drawn into this conflict whether it likes it or not, because most European countries are anti-Russian and Ukrainian, so accept refugees, financial support, military aid. In addition, Europe also needs to endure (Russian) counter-sanctions The energy crisis, inflation and other issues brought about by it have formed a series of blows to the country’s economy, industry, and people’s livelihood.”
While Europe is facing long-term and structural economic challenges due to the energy “de-Russia”, American energy companies are making huge profits, and there is a tendency to gradually replace Russia as Europe’s main energy supplier. The military-industrial complex ushered in a large order, and the stock price soared. The United States has hurt European interests, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction among many European countries.
Wang Wen, executive dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, told the headline reporter,The United States has indeed benefited the most from this conflict, which reflects the “smartness” of Biden’s policy of adopting an offshore balancing strategy against Russia.
In Wang Wen’s view, the “offshore balance” strategy adopted by the United States toward Russia has worked. It has realized the triangle of “Using Ukraine to control Russia” and “Using Russia to suppress Europe” without a single soldier and with only tens of billions of dollars. balance the situation. In addition, the United States has also obtained the economic interests of the military-industrial complex, as well as the “long-arm jurisdiction” and the illegal interests of confiscating Russia’s overseas assets.
