In the recent 350th anniversary of Peter the Great's birth, Russian President Vladimir Putin first praised Peter the Great's achievements in the north, saying that Peter the great had recaptured his own territory. With this foreshadowing, he said that now these responsibilities are handed over to "today's generation". Putin's "full of firepower" speech scared many people. For example, Finnish President Sauri ninisto, who was supposed to meet with the king of Sweden after hearing this, went home directly by helicopter.

    Obviously, Putin did not want to give NATO the slightest opportunity to expand eastward, so he would speak to frighten the West. In addition, it is worth mentioning that in the face of NATO's constant eastward expansion, Russia is not the only one to stop such acts. China has previously made a three pronged response to NATO. With regard to the idea that NATO not only wants to expand eastward, but also wants to get involved in the Asia Pacific region, China simply and clearly stated that it does not seek to fight and is not afraid of fighting, but will fight decisively when necessary. From this response, we can see how consistent China and Russia are in their attitude towards the eastward expansion of NATO.

    In other words, although Putin had tacitly agreed that Sweden and Finland could become members of NATO, he must be very unhappy from the follow-up performance. When Sweden and Finland submitted their applications to join NATO, the oil and electricity originally supplied by Russia in the two countries were cut off unilaterally, which was enough to prove that Putin was dissatisfied with their actions. Moreover, this is just an appetizer. If Sweden and Finland really succeed in joining NATO, Putin is bound to take some more drastic actions.

    After Russia's hard line statement, the Western camp led by the United States does not hold much hope for NATO's eastward expansion. Therefore, they began to pay more attention to the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine. Different from Russia's previous call for negotiations and Ukraine's and the West's refusal to negotiate, now the West has begun to mainly ask for negotiations. In order to quell the war, it even asks Ukraine to give up some territory. However, war is not a family affair, let alone Russia is obviously playing it for real this time.

    A few days ago, Putin took the lead and gave Biden a big problem. Facing the idea that western countries want peace talks, Russian Presidential Assistant Ushakov directly indicated that Putin has no plan to meet with US President Biden so far. In fact, judging from Putin's recent speeches, it is not difficult to see that his attitude is very firm, and peace talks are not impossible, but we must wait until the Russian army completes special military operations. At present, the Russian army is advancing towards the internal cities of Ukraine in an orderly manner. According to Uzbek President zelenski, the Russian army is exerting pressure on Ukraine from Donetsk and lichansk.

    In addition, he also accused the Russian army of bombing in the northern Donetsk, which means that the northern Donetsk will be completely surrounded, and the Ukrainian army in the rear will have nowhere to escape, which is likely to be the next Mariupol. When the Russian army learned the lessons of failure in the war and began to make steady progress, one fifth of Ukraine fell into the hands of Russia. In order to consolidate the results of the war, Russia distributed thousands of tons of relief materials to the areas controlled by the Russian army, and lowered the requirements for Russian passports. So it is no exaggeration to say that the countdown to the complete demilitarization of Ukraine has begun.
