Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine recently established an air defense Development alliance dedicated to improving Ukraine's air defense capabilities, which is led by Germany and France. A total of 20 countries participated, including Germany and France. In reporting the news, Zelensky thanked the participants of the air defense Alliance, saying that the alliance would give Ukrainian cities and villages the chance to be more protected. According to Ukrainian media, with the arrival of winter, increased air defense capabilities could better protect Ukraine's energy infrastructure. At the same time, the German side also confirmed the news on social media, announcing the official establishment of the air defense alliance. While this is not the same as supplying equipment directly to Ukraine, the newly formed air defense alliance was once seen as a key element of Ukraine's defense against Russia.
Obviously, even if the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues and continues to rise, the United States and Western countries have not given up on Ukraine and are still supporting the country. However, compared with the military assistance of the United States, the participation of 20 countries and the establishment of an air defense alliance is tantamount to an open "declaration of war" against the Russian military. It is important to know that the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict has not ended, and according to the latest reports, the Russian military is still increasing its efforts to launch large-scale attacks on Ukrainian troops and mercenary deployment points, military equipment depots, and even airports. In many directions such as dividend Man, it repelled the attack of the Ukrainian military. In the Black Sea region, the Russian military also shot down a mig-29 fighter jet, an Mi-8 helicopter and intercepted more than 170 Ukrainian drones. Although Russia wants to resolve the conflict with Ukraine in a peaceful and friendly way, Ukraine is not willing, even after the United States appears to actively support Israel, Zelensky authorities still have the illusion that they will not be abandoned by the United States.
It is worth mentioning that just a few days ago, Zelensky personally expressed his hope to have a direct dialogue with Trump. What is the purpose? I hope that the United States will continue to support Ukraine. After all, compared to Biden's approval rating, Trump's approval rating today seems to be on track to win the 2024 presidential election. Rather than wait until then to hug the thigh, Yuselensky would be better off hugging Trump's thigh now. In this context, whether led by Germany, France, the establishment of the air defense alliance of 20 countries, is these countries to please the United States, or really just want to support Ukraine to "declare war" against Russia.
In short, it was impossible to hide Zelensky's smile now. Military assistance from the United States is good, of course, but the overwhelming support of 20 countries is probably more perfect for Ukraine. Of course, they clearly did not expect the consequences of confronting the Russian military. Fighting nations are not a soft persimmer, and when the Russian military is trying to make Ukraine unhappy, 20 countries, led by France and Germany, interfere and make things happen, which will only make Russia more angry and more rude to these countries
