It's been almost a month since Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24th. During this time, the Biden administration of the United States has appealed to the “unified West” centered on the EU and NATO countries, has imposed sanctions on Russia one after another, and has provided enormous support to Ukraine, including murder suicide drones.

The US people are also willing to raise gasoline prices if it is for the sake of Ukraine. 15, Pew Research Center).

However, on the other hand, as of March 15, support for President Biden has not changed at all from February 23, just before the Russian army invaded. On March 8, the approval rating rose to 45%, the highest level in the last month, but fell to 43% on the 15th.

* [Breaking news 2131] According to Reuters, President Biden's approval rating is 43% support and 53% disapproval as of March 15. Since February 23rd, just before the Russian invasion, the numbers have been exactly the same as once. The approval rating peaked at 45% on March 8, but fell again.

President Zelensky, who continues to appear in the media all over the world every day, responded to an interview with the US media "CNN" on the 20th.

President Zelensky told CNN's Farid Zakaria that he was "ready to negotiate" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but if they failed, "this would mean World War III." I will,” he said in a threatening tone.

"World War III" is a term President Biden has used repeatedly. President Biden has said that if the United States were to enter the war, it would be "World War III" and therefore the United States would not enter the war. The United States is a superpower, and the entry of the United States into the war means almost automatic entry into the war of member nations, such as NATO member nations with the right to collective self-defense and Japan under the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty. It is not over to say that it will be a great war.

However, President Zelensky is the president of Ukraine, which is not even a member of NATO. Why can it be said that if President Zelensky fails to negotiate with Russia, it will become a “World War III” involving the United States and NATO countries? Thinking about it calmly makes me want to shake my head.

On the 18th of last week, President Putin pointed out that the Ukrainian side is trying every possible way to slow down the negotiation process and is making increasingly unrealistic proposals.

*Russian president tells German Chancellor that Ukraine is delaying negotiations (Bloom Berg, March 18, 2022)

President Zelensky has repeatedly repeatedly stated that Ukraine wants to proceed with the “withdrawal of Russian troops and ceasefire negotiations,” but behind the first round of ceasefire negotiations (February 28), the EU Signing the application form for membership and spreading the photo on SNS is a new behavior in the memory. His words and actions do not match.

President Zelensky said on the 20th:

"I think we need to take every form, every opportunity to have the possibility of negotiation, the possibility of talking to Putin. But if these attempts fail, this is the third world." means war."

"I am ready to negotiate with him [Putin]. I have been ready for the last two years. I don't think we can end this war without negotiations."

“We have always emphasized negotiations. Restoration of integrity, real security of our country, real protection of our country."

"Now, especially to the people of Moscow, listen to me. Now is the time to meet. It's time to speak. It's time to restore territorial integrity and justice in Ukraine."

"Restoring Ukraine's territorial integrity and justice" is a claim that it will not compromise on the separation and independence issue of the eastern region, which is expected to be the most difficult negotiation with Russia.

* [Breaking News 2128] CNN: President Zelensky said on Sunday (20th) that he was "ready to negotiate" with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but if he failed, he said, "This is the third world. It means war," he warned.

President Zelensky also addressed his relationship with NATO in the same interview. While pretending to give up on joining NATO, it seems that he still has regrets.

"If we were members of NATO, the war would not have started."

"I want security for my country, for my people. If NATO members are ready to welcome us into their alliance, please do so now."

"Because people are dying every day"

* [Breaking News 2140] CNN: President Zelensky said in an interview with CNN on the 20th: "If we were members of NATO, the war would not have started."

President Zelensky, who is Jewish, made a video speech at the Israeli parliament on the same day.

"Everyone knows Israel's missile defense system is the best. You can definitely save the lives of the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian Jews."

"Why can't we accept weapons from you? Why aren't we imposing strong sanctions on Russia and putting pressure on Russian companies?"

President Zelensky said as above and requested the export of Israel's proud missile air defense system "Iron Dome" to Ukraine. Rather than "always emphasizing negotiations," it sounds like they're always emphasizing the continuation of the war.

President Zelensky's inconsistencies aside, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevryut Cavusior, who claims to be a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, said on the 20th that the ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine are progressing and are nearing an agreement. He expressed his view.

Ibrahim Kalun, a spokesman for the Turkish presidential office, told the local newspaper Huriyet that both sides (Russia and Ukraine) are committed to the "neutralization, demilitarization and security of Ukraine, the so-called 'de-Nazification'". , the elimination of barriers to the use of the Russian language in Ukraine, the status of the eastern Donbass region, and the status of the Crimea peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014.

The four items that Turkey has made progress are: 1) the neutralization of Ukraine and a statement that it will not join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); 2) demilitarization and guarantees of mutual security; 4) Lifting restrictions on the use of the Russian language.

On the 17th, President Putin spoke with President Erdogan by phone. Kalun said talks would focus on eastern Donbass (some of which already claim to be Russia) and the status of Crimea. It is incompatible with the "restoration of territorial integrity" that President Zelensky spoke of in an interview with CNN.

Saito, citing an article published in Foreign Affairs, an American diplomatic and security journal, argued that Ukraine would be best suited for a “fortress neutralization” modeled after Switzerland and Finland.

Mr. Saito cited an emergency ceasefire proposal titled "On the Neutralization of Ukraine" by Mr. A. Wes Mitchell, who served as Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia.

・Ukraine promises not to join NATO in the future and to deny the presence of foreign troops in the country, and chooses "neutrality" like Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Finland, etc.

・For Ukraine, the most helpful thing is "fortress neutralization" to maintain strong military power like Switzerland and Finland.

・Ukraine can commit to non-membership in international security organizations and maintain a strong military supported by weapons and advanced training that NATO continues to provide.

"Ukraine's 'neutralization' is a realistic option, but militarized 'fortress neutralization' seems impossible. I think it's an empty theory that ignores Ukraine's economic reality too much. Ukraine is a granary. Although it has a zone, it is not as rich in energy resources as Russia, and the economic burden is too heavy for it to be heavily armed enough to be fortified.”

※ Yasumi Iwakami @iwakamiyasumi

"Continued. This 'fortress neutralization' theory is based on a paper published in Foreign Affairs, but the average monthly income of Ukrainian citizens is 20,000 to 30,000 yen. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it fell to the level of the poorest country. If you don't rely on Russian weapons, you will have to buy more expensive American weapons."

※ Yasumi Iwakami @iwakamiyasumi

"Continued 2 Where will the money for such a high purchase of weapons come from? Natural gas has also been dependent on Russia for many years. If we do not import energy from Russia, where will we import it from? Can we buy it at international prices?”
