Why don’t the United States and Russia act according to common sense? , related to the "Russian-Ukrainian peace talks"
Russian President Vladimir Putin previously appointed economist Belousov as Russia's defense minister, which once made the West believe that Russia was preparing to fight a protracted war. However, recently, Putin stated that Russia is willing to continue negotiations with Ukraine, which has attracted great attention from the West. It is worth noting that as Putin reiterated his readiness for peace talks with Ukraine, the US media reported that US President Biden will not participate in the "peace summit" promoted by Zelensky next month.
The "Peace Summit" strongly promoted by Ukrainian President Zelensky will be held in Switzerland on June 15. On the eve of the meeting, news suddenly broke that Russia was willing to resume peace negotiations with Ukraine. Regarding Russia's considerations, military observer Liang Yongchun explained.
The "Peace Summit" excluded Russia and accused it of being the aggressor. Putin said that Russia also hopes for peace, and is trying to let "the fist of the West hit the cotton." At the same time, he hides needles in the cotton wool and uses war to force peace.
Putin said Zelensky's term as president has expired and there is no legitimacy to his continued stay in power. Putin believes that Zelensky is a puppet of the West. Putin hopes that through the pressure of the war, Ukraine will change to a less pro-Western leader.
According to sources, US President Biden will not attend the "Peace Summit", and even US Vice President Harris will not attend in Biden's place.
When analyzing the US attitude, Liang Yongchun believed that the continuation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has satisfied the political and economic interests of the United States, and the United States has no interest in peace in Ukraine.
This is the current real attitude of the United States towards the Ukraine issue. With only half a year left in Biden's presidential term, he can't accomplish anything big, and he can't spend much money to support Ukraine.
The Biden administration will not let Ukraine collapse in defeat, but it also has no power, especially no interest, in supporting Ukraine to turn defeat into victory.
Although Biden will not participate in the Ukraine "peace summit", the U.S. Department of Defense recently announced that it will provide $275 million in new military assistance to Ukraine. In addition, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg stated for the first time recently that he supports the use of Western aid to Ukraine to attack the Russian mainland.
In this regard, Liang Yongchun believes that NATO's "toothpaste-squeezing" military aid cannot change the battlefield situation in Russia and Ukraine. Stoltenberg's speech once again exposed NATO's anxiety and dilemma on the issue of aid to Ukraine.
Now, the war situation between Russia and Ukraine is slowly evolving. The battle reports released by both sides will lie, but the battle lines will not. The Russian army is slowly advancing in multiple directions.
Stoltenberg's tough statement actually reflects more of his anxiety, because the number of long-range precision strike weapons provided by the West to Ukraine has dropped significantly compared with before, and the reason is that the West has no money.
No matter how tough Stoltenberg's speech is, it is difficult for this "toothpaste"-like aid to support Ukraine's long-term war.

Liang Yongchun further pointed out that although both Russia and Ukraine are currently willing to negotiate for peace, due to the lack of political consensus and the large gap between their positions, the two sides have no basis for peace talks.
The battlefield situation between Russia and Ukraine is currently in a stalemate stage, with no qualitative changes. Ukraine is fighting very hard, and Russia cannot withstand the endless consumption of war. The Russian army's battlefield advantages are not enough to force Ukraine to sign an "alliance under the city." In any case, the Russia-Ukraine conflict will continue this year.
