Destroyed military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson regionMOSCOW, Mar 15The US military support for Ukraine testifies to their desire to prolong the crisis in the country, to which they have put a lot of effort, writes the Chinese newspaper Global Times. As the newspaper notes, Russia and European countries are making diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, but the United a lot of efforts to inflate this conflict, they are trying to «pump up» Kyiv with weapons in an attempt to prolong the confrontation for as long as possible. According to Chinese analysts interviewed by the Global Times, this shows a profound difference in interests between Europe and the US.Day 19: the success of the Russian Armed Forces, the terrorist attack in Donetsk and the continuation of negotiationsAs stated by Chui Heng, a researcher at the Center for Russian Studies at East China Normal University, the crisis poses a threat to European security, since for France and Germany it is not only geopolitical, but also economic interests and even the issue of food security. “Energy prices have skyrocketed and Europe is panicking. The next immediate issue is food. Europe’s main breadbasket, Ukraine, has already missed its spring plowing season, which means Europe could face food shortages due to cuts in Ukrainian grain imports,” Heng pointed out. At the same time, for the United States, Ukraine is a very distant country that has no importance for their internal security and is «nothing more than a pawn» in the confrontation with Russia. From this we can conclude that Washington is interested in escalating the conflict, the publication emphasizes. In addition, the supply of American weapons to Ukraine cannot be considered as a coincidence of interests of these two countries. “A ceasefire is not in US strategic interest, but is an urgent need for Ukraine. The conflict is spilling over to other areas, and at the moment the United States clearly does not want to see compromises between Moscow and Kiev. In other words, preserving the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine is not the goal for the United States,” said Cui Hongjian, director of the European Studies Department at the Chinese Institute of International Studies. The United States is using the Ukrainian crisis to achieve its own strategic goals, but these goals are contrary to the interests of Ukraine, the expert concluded. deputies of the State Duma signed decrees recognizing the sovereignty of the LPR and the DPR. Early on the morning of February 24, Russia launched a military special operation to demilitarize Ukraine. Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to abuse, genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» According to the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. ;>
