What Zelenskyy should know before he talks with Xi

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may finally get a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping as soon as next week. The expected discussion follows Beijing’s release of a position paper for Ukraine on February 24—the one-year mark of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy, however, should be wary about what Xi truly seeks, namely the mitigation of criticism about Beijing’s role in the conflict and a platform to sell his Global Security Initiative (GSI), for which Beijing released a concept paper just days before releasing its position paper. As such, it is critical that Zelenskyy provide his honest public assessment of Beijing’s peace plan and role in the conflict—otherwise, he risks giving Beijing the perfect cover to refute questions about its alleged neutrality while doing little to ensure an outcome to the crisis that actually works for Ukraine.

Russia Wants a Long War

The West Needs to Send Ukraine More Arms, More Quickly

U.S. President Joe Biden’s historic visit to Kyiv days before the one-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine sent an important message to Ukrainians and, indeed, to Russians. “Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia,” Biden proclaimed, adding that the United States will support Ukraine “as long as it takes.” Indeed, “as long as it takes” has become the new talking point for Ukraine’s allies, repeated by French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. But “as long as it takes” also signals to many Ukrainians that the allies expect the war to drag on for years, with Ukraine bearing the brunt of it. And they are right: even as the United States and its allies have sent billions of dollars’ worth of military equipment to Ukraine, there remains one thing they seem unable to supply: a clear, united commitment to a rapid Ukrainian victory. Unless the United States wants to find itself embroiled in another forever war, on terms that very much suit Russian President Vladimir Putin, it’s time for that to change.

L’hémisphère sud rejette les pressions occidentales pour se ranger du côté de la Russie

Lors de la réunion du G20 à Bangalore, en Inde, les États-Unis sont arrivés avec un mandat simple. La secrétaire américaine au Trésor, Janet Yellen, a déclaré lors de leur sommet de février 2023 que les pays du G20 devraient condamner la Russie pour son invasion de l’Ukraine et se joindre aux sanctions américaines contre la Russie. Cependant, il est devenu clair que l’Inde, qui préside le G20, n’est pas disposée à respecter l’agenda américain. Les responsables indiens ont déclaré que le G20 n’était pas une réunion politique, mais une réunion pour discuter de questions économiques. Ils se sont opposés à l’utilisation du mot « guerre » pour décrire l’invasion, préférant la décrire comme « crise » et « défi ». La France et l’Allemagne ont rejeté ce projet s’il ne condamne pas la Russie.

Quelles sont les forces qui poussent les États-Unis à une agression militaire internationale croissante ?

Introduction

Depuis environ deux décennies, nous assistons à une escalade militaire des USA. Les événements qui ont mené à la guerre en Ukraine s’inscrivent dans ce cadre et en représentent une nouvelle étape qualitative. Avant cette guerre, les USA n’intervenaient que contre des pays en voie de développement ayant des forces armées bien inférieures aux leurs et ne possédant pas l’arme nucléaire.
