In recent months, the situation in Ukraine has been turbulent. The direct trigger was last June165438+1October 2 1. President Yanukovych announced that he would suspend the signing of the Association Agreement aimed at strengthening trade relations with the EU and seek closer cooperation with Russia instead. The opposition took the opportunity to set off a wave of protests and demanded that Yanukovych step down.
The situation in Ukraine today is the result of typical internal and external factors intertwined and interacting. Over the past 20 years since Ukraine's independence, different political factions in Ukraine have been fighting endlessly, and pro-Western and pro-Russian camps have formed a tug-of-war. Both the ruling party and the opposition have turned around, and you can sing and I will appear. Obviously, there is no clear and consistent understanding of the country's development path and foreign strategy at home. Every split and combination of Ukrainian politics has caused political turmoil, as well as the intervention and intervention from the United States, the European Union and Russia.
Geographically and historically, the Dnieper River runs through the north and south of Ukraine and divides Ukraine into two parts. The conflicts of empire, nationality, religion and culture that have lasted for nearly a thousand years have left a complex political imprint on Ukraine, and the basic political split between pro-Russia in the east and pro-Europe in the west of Ukraine has not been bridged over time. After the end of the Cold War, Ukraine was in a "fracture zone" where the two geopolitical plates of Russia, the United States and Europe squeezed and tore each other, and the political pendulum swung. The strategic position of Ukraine is very important. On the one hand, the United States and the European Union want to pull Ukraine into the western camp and continue the practice of squeezing Russian strategic space for more than 20 years; On the other hand, Russia is trying its best to maintain its traditional influence in Ukraine and will never lose this strategic frontier that Russia needs to revive into a big country.
The complicated historical latitude and longitude and conflicts of interest make the situation in Ukraine constantly chaotic. The country's transition from turmoil to division is probably not the original intention of the struggle between the two major political forces in Ukraine. As an external force, it is probably not the original intention of the West and Russia to move from intervening in Uzbekistan's internal affairs to direct confrontation or even conflict. Repeated tossing is not in the fundamental interests of all ethnic groups in Ukraine. If you toss yourself, you have to pull in external forces, and the final outcome is likely to be counterproductive; Political factions are deadlocked and it is impossible to form a stable political situation. It is unwise to choose between going to the west or going to Russia.
Russia believes that its interests in Ukraine may be damaged, so it is tough, but it will cause a strong rebound; Europe and the United States have contributed to the situation in Ukraine, and waving a big stick to sanction Russia will only make the situation more complicated. Europe and the United States accuse Russia of violating Ukraine's territorial sovereignty, while Russia retorts that Europe and the United States are prone to interventionism in other countries, which is a double standard.
China has no exclusive interest in the Ukrainian issue. China and Ukraine have important economic and military ties. China and Russia are strategic cooperative partners. China and Europe are committed to deepening the deep docking of development strategies. China and the United States reached an understanding on building a new type of relationship between major powers. From this perspective, when determining its position on the Ukrainian issue, China will not deliberately consider the closeness of its relations with relevant parties, but will follow the basic norms of international relations and attach importance to the context and merits of the matter itself. Therefore, China proposed that the starting point of dealing with the Ukrainian issue should be to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in Ukraine and the overall situation of regional peace and stability.
Everything has a reason, and there is no reason. The situation in Ukraine has developed to this point today, and both opposing factions in Ukraine and foreign intervention forces are responsible. It is imperative that all parties maintain calm and restraint, avoid further escalation of the situation and properly resolve the Ukrainian crisis through political and diplomatic channels.
