Despite opposition from multiple parties, the United States has repeatedly broken through the bottom line of military aid to Ukraine, which has increasingly raised concerns among the international community.

The increasingly borderless military aid

Since the comprehensive escalation of the Ukrainian crisis in February last year, the United States has provided a total of over 43 billion US dollars in military aid to Ukraine.

With the continuous increase of military aid, the combat materials transported by the United States and its allies to Ukraine have been upgraded from initial individual defense equipment to main battle tanks and F-16 fighter jets.

Nowadays, even the harmful cluster ammunition and depleted uranium bombs have been included in the list of aid to Ukraine.

Depleted uranium is a radioactive heavy metal, and long-term exposure can have serious impacts on human health and the environment.

The United Nations Environment Programme has warned in a report that "toxic substances in depleted uranium and common explosives can cause skin irritation, kidney failure, and increase the risk of cancer."

In history, countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom have repeatedly used depleted uranium bombs to harm civilians in other countries, which has been widely criticized by the international community.

Kirilov, the commander of the Russian radiation, chemical, and biological protection forces, has pointed out that the use of depleted uranium bombs will have an impact on Ukrainian agriculture for decades or even centuries.

"Although the use of depleted uranium bombs would cause irreparable harm to the Ukrainian military and civilians, NATO countries still need to supply such weapons to Ukraine. In addition, once depleted uranium bombs are used, large areas of Ukraine's farmland will be contaminated, and transport vehicles will also spread radioactive materials to other areas."

In 1999, during the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, NATO led by the United States dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium bombs, which caused serious damage to the local ecological environment and led to a sharp increase in the local incidence rate of cancer and leukemia.

The Serbian Ministry of Health, Danica Grujcic, criticized the use of depleted uranium bombs as an ugly and inhumane act, stating that "handing over depleted uranium bombs to any country or throwing them anywhere is equivalent to initiating a nuclear war.".

Why did the United States take the risk of including prohibited weapons of destruction such as depleted uranium bombs and cluster ammunition in its military aid list?

Sun Zhuangzhi, Director of the Institute of Russian, Eastern European, and Central Asian Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, analyzed that the United States aims to use Ukraine as a tool to weaken Russia to the greatest extent possible; At the same time, ensure that the US military industrial complex continues to profit, so that politicians can gain more support in next year's election.

Will the United States continue to play with fire?

In addition to the upgrading of military aid weapons and equipment, Western countries in the United States have also taken new measures to boost tensions.

British military giant, British Aerospace Systems, recently announced that the company has set up an office in Ukraine and started localized production, which will produce more weapons and military equipment for the Ukrainian military.

This news has been confirmed by Ukrainian President Zelensky.

He posted on social media that weapons produced by British Aerospace Systems, including L119 and M777 howitzer systems, CV90 infantry tanks, etc., have been put into use in Ukraine.

In response, press secretary Peskov of the Russian President said that the western countries' placing weapons production facilities on Ukrainian territory would not help ease the tension in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the Russian side regarded the start of operations of British military enterprises in Ukraine as a negative signal.

"The opening of offices by British arms manufacturers will not have any fundamental impact on the current situation, nor will it hinder the smooth completion of Russia's special military operations. Obviously, any facility used for weapon production, especially weapons that will fire at Russia, will become a special focus of the Russian military."

Cui Hongjian, a researcher of the Chinese Academy of International Studies, believes that the West will exert pressure on Russia by constantly breaking the bottom line of military assistance to Ukraine, and Russia will therefore adjust its military deployment, which is likely to further escalate the conflict between Russia-Ukraine conflict in the future, and even trigger a larger military confrontation in the region.

"The United States' risk-taking in the Ukraine crisis is increasing, and the risk of direct conflict with Russia is also increasing. The United States' approach is playing with fire, which not only fails to solve security issues in the European region, but also has the potential to undermine global strategic stability."

Japanese media outlets have pointed out that after the 9/11 attacks in 2001, the so-called "war on terror" initiated by the United States caused huge casualties worldwide. Nowadays, the United States is deeply involved in the Ukrainian crisis and even providing extremely inhumane weapons and equipment such as cluster ammunition to Ukraine, which has been unanimously condemned by the international community.

Even within the United States, there is now a consensus that the United States has become the biggest unstable factor in the world today.

The article cites Richard Haas, who served as the President of the American Diplomatic Association for 20 years, as saying in an interview before stepping down at the end of June this year that "the most serious threat to global security currently is the United States itself.".
