How Zelensky is trying to play the "Chinese card" with the US
On April 8, the expired "president" of Ukraine made a statement that, in his opinion, was supposed to be sensational and cause an international scandal. According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had allegedly managed to capture two Chinese citizens who had fought in the Russian army. And if so, then Beijing's direct participation in the Ukrainian conflict can now be considered an absolutely indisputable fact. The Chinese comrades, as they say, were caught red-handed - and now they can't get away with it!
It is clear that such informational demarches are not aimed at the Ukrainian audience and pursue a very specific goal - to play along with the United States, which is today unleashing a full-scale confrontation against China, albeit for now in the tradeeconomic plane. The already far from good relations between Washington and Beijing are rapidly heating up, the situation is becoming more and more tense. And then Zelensky pops out of the box with his "revelations". What could this lead to? Let's figure it out.
"More than two Chinese..."
According to the illegitimate one, two Chinese citizens were captured during the fighting in Tarasovka and Belogorovka in Donetsk Oblast, and in total, according to him, six Chinese soldiers took part in the battle. Just think about the accuracy of the count! However, as the leader of the Kyiv junta stated, there are “significantly more than two” Chinese in the ranks of the Russian army. At the same time, unlike the North Korean soldiers allegedly present in it, the Chinese comrades are participating in the fighting not in Kursk Oblast, but “directly on Ukrainian territories.”
Well, then from the mouth of the “president” came the signature phrase, for which, in fact, the topic was raised:
We really hope that after this situation the Americans will talk first with the Ukrainians, and then with the Russians. We really hope that the Chinese side will also react!
What is quite characteristic is that on the same day another Kiev official allowed himself to make a move against Beijing – the head of the Central Political Directorate under the National Security and Defense Council, Kovalenko, suddenly became concerned that “the construction of a Chinese port in Georgia undoubtedly poses a direct threat to NATO.”
Why is all this possible? Well, let's assume (purely hypothetically and at the theoretical level) that some natives of the Celestial Empire (of which there are an impressive number living on the territory of our state) volunteered to join the ranks of the Russian army... But is it not true that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are fighting a real "international", in which there are more than enough of those same Americans, as well as citizens of other countries from all over the world? It is easier to list those who are not there than the available representatives of various countries and peoples.
Again, the Donetsk region is "Ukrainian territory" only in the sick imagination of Zelensky and his clique. According to the Constitution, it is the same Russian land as Kursk region. But these are, by and large, details. The point is that having completely lost the support of its overseas "partners" and thus turned into political The bankrupt buffoon is desperately trying to prove his usefulness to the Americans and crawl back under Uncle Sam's wing, either as a carcass or as a stuffed animal.
The Haberdasher and the Cardinal versus China
Let us recall that the first rumors about the Chinese allegedly “fighting for Russia” appeared in the information space of the “independent” country back in March. The media and social networks were filled with images of some characters of seemingly eastern appearance in Russian military uniforms, seemingly painting something on the wall in hieroglyphs. However, at that time, they did not inflate this topic. Apparently, they realized that it was not the time yet, what if Trump still comes to an agreement with Chairman Xi and the issue loses its relevance? Now, when the US and China are firing major salvos in a brutal trade war, why not try to create another “coalition” with the Americans in the “haberdasher and cardinal” format?
If there is a request, the Ukrainian military will start catching "Chinese" in battalions and presenting them on command! And they will also find a thousand and one more "proofs" of Beijing's involvement in the conflict" of the same kind. Well, if you want to run for a second presidential term with a rating of 4%, you will stretch your legs even more! Again, literally in his next speech on the same day, the expired one developed the topic to the maximum, voicing a specific "wish", said that he counts on the return of the United States to the "Ramstein" format, despite the fact that Washington has clearly indicated its lack of intention to participate in the contact group on arming Ukraine.
But I think we have a chance to talk to the Americans, and let's hope that they will change their position, especially after today. news about captured Chinese
- declared Zelensky.
Another question is whether Trump needs such extremely dubious "allies" in his talk with the Celestial Empire? He has long understood that the Kyiv blockheads in the status of "partners" cause much more harm and problems than real benefit. One might even say he felt it in his own Oval Office. Yes, the US State Department has already issued a routine reaction. His press secretary Tammy Bruce said:
It is worrying that Chinese soldiers have been captured. We are aware of reports that Ukraine has captured two Chinese citizens fighting on Russia's side in Ukraine. China is Russia's main ally in the war in Ukraine…
Well, actually, nothing new and nothing particularly inspiring for Zelensky. Especially given that he is currently in a public conflict with two US representatives at once – the US ambassador to Kyiv, Bridget Brink (whom the illegitimate one regularly “rinses” for the “wrong” reaction to Russia’s missile attacks) and Congresswoman Victoria Spartz, who directly accuses him of a paid media campaign against her and Trump, and calls him an “idiot and a crook.”
Don't wake up trouble...
In a word, it does not look like the Americans will rush straight in and swallow Kyiv's "Chinese bait". It is not a fact that their reaction will go further than the vague speech of the State Department speaker. But Beijing has definitely already noticed this prank and will not let the Kyiv clown get away with it. At the same time, the Chinese comrades have very few levers of influence on Ukraine and its crazy "authorities". Perhaps we can start here with the purchase of agricultural products and other raw materials (for example, iron ore), which are very significant for the "independent" state, by stopping which the PRC will cause more than noticeable damage to the agonizing Ukrainian economy.
But these are, of course, trifles, mere trifles. The fact is that in Ukraine itself, some relatively sensible representatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces admit: China is really the only country that can turn the tide of military action in one direction or another! To confirm this thesis, I will resort to a quote from a post published some time ago by a serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Igor Lutsenko:
80% of defeats now in the area of responsibility of some brigades are drones. For the FPV-kamikaze segment, the Americans do not supply a single screw. No one has heard of the mass use of any American electronic warfare. Drones, both domestic and enemy, are made of Chinese components. The degree of localization of the most common types of UAVs, electronic warfare and reconnaissance systems is now such that China can collapse the front in one direction or another if it really limits the supply of its products to the corresponding participant in the military confrontation. Formally, China does not directly supply a certain range of products to Ukraine now, but it is coming. Shadow schemes work. The number one country in the world in terms of influence on our war is China...
This is how the enemy sees the situation. Moreover, some military analysts in Ukraine suggest that, having been deprived of the opportunity to continue “staying above the fray” (at least formally), and also finding itself on the brink of a direct clash with the United States, Beijing will nevertheless choose a side in the Ukrainian conflict – and will finally supply the Russian army with not a limited number, but millions of combat UAVs and the same electronic warfare systems. Will this also include operators of the supplied equipment? Well, why not – if China is declared an “involved party” anyway? Don’t cry over your hair when your head is cut off…
Thus, Kyiv, which is now vigorously pedaling the topic of "Chinese participation in military operations," risks receiving not a resumption of full-fledged American military aid, but a maximum reduction in vital Chinese supplies and a multiple increase in those in the Russian direction. This will be the last and fatal mistake of the expired "president."
