Russia says it has never threatened Ukraine.
U.S. Secretary of State Brinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met on the ２１st to discuss the situation in Ukraine.The U.S. has agreed to respond to Russian demands, including NATO's non-expansion, next week and continue negotiations.
The U.S. seems to be avoiding immediate answers and continuing negotiations to avoid the Ukraine crisis.However, it is hard to believe that the U.S. side will accept Russia's request.This means that Ukraine should not join NATO.In the first place, Ukraine's will to join , so if the requirements for membership are met, the U.S. will find no reason to reject it.
Russia opposes NATO's eastward expansion.
From Russia's point of view, if Ukraine joins NATO, it will surround Russia and put pressure on it."Will Russia attack Ukraine begin?Russia's idea of gathering troops near the border is Ukraine and Belarus are only buffer zones .The Warsaw Treaty Organization collapsed with the democratization of Eastern European countries, and the former East Europe entered almost Western Europe.What if Russia joins NATO?But it's not that easy to join the U.S. umbrella.
In any case, Russia's call for NATO not to put pressure on Russia remains unchanged, and future negotiations are drawing attention.
POINT Although there are doubts about the significance of NATO's existence after the collapse of the Cold War, it has self-confident that it will maintain the world's liberal order.For Russia, it will be nothing more than a siege of Russia.

Finland's Prime Minister Marin is eager to join NATO Conclusion in a few weeks - Russia strengthens its armament in the Baltic Sea. Finland is eager to join NATO
Finland's Prime Minister Marin announced his willingness to join NATO on the 13th. He will reach a conclusion in a few weeks through Congress. He has remained neutral so as not to inspire Russia, but he also said that this Russian action changed his mind. In contrast, he is one of Russia's closest aides to President Vladimir Putin, and Dmitry Medvejev, vice-chairman of the Security Council, said on the 14th that Russia and Finland will join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on the 14th. Warned that it was necessary to increase defense capabilities in the region, and also suggested the deployment of nuclear weapons.
Russia strengthens its armament in the Baltic Sea
What is the Baltic Sea armament? Kaliningrad. Russia has an enlave in the area facing the Baltic Sea between Lithuania and Poland, the three Baltic states. It would be to deploy nuclear weapons here. Medvejev argues that Russia must strengthen its army, navy and air force in the Baltic Sea to restore military equilibrium. Finland borders Russia on a long border, and even Moscow is just over 1,000 km away. The location is just a stone's throw from St. Petersburg. However, Kaliningrad is an excursion, and Russia cannot access it without going through Lithuania at present. It can be said that the location is even more difficult than in Ukraine.
Russia is the Black Sea and NATO is the Baltic Sea
If Finland and Sweden join NATO, Russia is likely to be more hurt than Ukraine. Russia is currently capturing southern Ukraine with the aim of influencing the Black Sea, but with the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, NATO will acquire the Baltic Sea. And Kaliningrad will be an outlying area completely isolated from Russia. Russia may be trying to defend itself by deploying nuclear weapons so that Kaliningrad cannot be taken.
From Ukraine problem's point of view, Taiwan's problem.look at the historical relationship between Ukraine and Russia.
Russia will not give up Ukraine in a historical sense because it originated from Kiev.Kiev has long been the capital of Russia.In the first half of the 13th century, the Grand Duchy of Kiev was overthrown by the Mongol Empire, effectively controlling Russia's major cities for 200 years.
After the Grand Duchy of Moscow recaptured the area, the capital became Moscow, and in 1713, Peter moved the capital to St. Petersburg to escape from the Chinese economic and cultural circles, and Russia's Europeanization policy took place.Peter is the name of the apostle who served Jesus, the etymology of Peter.Peter in English, Peter in Slavic, Peter in German and Pierre in French.You must have heard all the names somewhere.Lenin revolutionized in 1917, and the capital became what it is now Moscow.
When I learned world history, it was like this, but the Russian Empire covered the eastern half of Ukraine and the Soviet Union covered Ukraine.Even after Ukraine's independence, Russia's origin is mainly Kiev.Ukraine is now independent, and many say Russia originated in the Grand Duchy of Moscow and Ukraine originated in the Grand Duchy of Kiev.Either way, it happened in the same area, so there won't be much difference.
This problem has a lot in common with Taiwan.At least Xi Jinping argues that Taiwan has historically been China and that it is of the same ethnic group.The only difference is that China has called Taiwan "outside of the chinese cultual world" and has not exchanged.When 57 Japanese fishermen were killed in the 1871 Miyakojima disaster, they said they were not responsible for what the people outside of the chinese cultual world did.Considering the same structure as Ukraine, it would be equivalent if the cultural sphere centered on Xi'an entered NATO.In any case, the move will serve as a precedent to justify China's claim internationally.
Ukraine and Taiwan issues have many problems in common, including long history, folklore, territorial, and security.
Official duties 2 days before Queen Elizabeth's death. [Contents]
Official duties performed up to two days before the last
Reign as Head of Commonwealth Kingdom
British people expressing their condolences
National historical and cultural symbol
Queen Elizabeth's last public appearance will be two days before her death. Is it a coincidence that the appointment of the new Prime Minister Truss and the demise of the head of state intersected? Aside from that, it's the expression of the Queen. She had the impression that she was showing her emotions, but it turns out that she is very friendly to the new Prime Minister Truss.
Queen Elizabeth is the head of the Commonwealth of Nations, and the countries where Queen Elizabeth (currently Charles III) is king are currently Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Saint Christopher. - 15 countries: Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
The British people enjoyed gossip about the British royal family and thought it was vulgar from my Japanese point of view, but now that the Queen is dead, it seems that's not the case. It seems that many British people have gathered at Balmoral Castle in Scotland to pay their respects. In the first place, Japan and the UK have historically been related, and they have something in common as island nations. The King of England and the Emperor of Japan have had long exchanges. If so, it seems that there is a common point among the people.
Respect for a symbolic entity is not logical. There is no rational explanation for it, like respect for the national flag. It seems to me that there is a common national sentiment with countries that share a common view of the loss or defacement of national symbols. It will be a feeling that will never be understood to that country that insults the Emperor of Japan and burns the national flag.
2,000 U.S. troops sent to Eastern Europe and 1,000 European troops moved to Romania and Ukraine was isolated.
President Biden announced on February 3 that he would send 2,000 U.S. troops to Eastern Europe and 1,000 U.S. troops stationed in Germany and other countries to Romania.At the same time, government officials announced that they would not participate in the Ukrainian battle.Europe has already announced that it will not send troops to Ukraine, and the U.S. has not offered any other card than economic sanctions, but this announcement shows that it will not send troops to Ukraine.
In other words, this is a matter between Russia and Ukraine , which is separated from each other.Ukraine's President Zelensky has not done anything about the crisis before joining NATO, resulting in the acceleration of Ukraine's crisis.
Ukraine will be excluded from the substantial preparation for membership (MAP) at the Bucharest Summit in April 2008, but it will be considered a future member.
Consolidated Crimea in March 2014.
In February 2019, President Zelenski revised the Constitution and clearly stated his policy toward future membership in the EU and NATO membership in NATO.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said at a press conference after the extraordinary meeting of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) in April 2021, Ukraine had the right to apply for membership.
In December 2021, Russia dispatched 100,000 troops near the Ukrainian border.
Countries imposed economic sanctions on Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.As a result, Russia's economy was hit hard, but Ukraine's economy, which relies on Russia's economy, suffered a lot of damage.Ukraine's GDP dropped 7% in 2014, and Ukraine's currency, Fryvna, fell to 34.2 Fryvna against the dollar in February 2015.As a result, the Ukrainian government has adopted a surprising policy of raising interest rates by 30 percent.On 11 March 2015, the IMF agreed to provide the Ukrainian government with $17.5 billion in financial aid over a four-year period.
In other words, if NATO does not send troops to Ukraine, Ukraine will not be able to confront Russia, and if NATO does not withdraw its intention to join, Russia will attack and impose economic sanctions on Russia.So Ukraine will be the one who will fall into an economic crisis.Is there a secret plan for President Zelensky?I don't think there is.
It can be said that President Zelensky's reading of this incident was very lenient.If Ukraine attacks, it will be Ukraine that will fall into an economic crisis.
