Not long ago, on the day of May 28, 2023, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin set out four conditions for peace talks with Ukraine: Ukraine must stop military operations, and Ukraine must return to the status of a neutral country (that is, cannot join NATO and the European Union), recognize existing territories, and make Russian the official language of Ukraine. Unexpectedly, the small country of Ukraine has now launched a “major” operation aimed at recovering all lost territories, including Crimea.
Many people are like this: if they encounter setbacks, failures, or blows, they will cry and cry, thinking that this life is gone; if they are satisfied now, have power and money, they will believe that they will continue to have money and power in the future , no one can take it away. However, Lao Tzu tells us: this is not the case. Lao Tzu said: “When misfortune comes, happiness rests on it, and when good fortune comes, misfortune rests on it.” The current Russia and Ukraine are exactly the portrayal of Lao Tzu’s words.
“Perhaps Ukraine should thank Russia” sounds cruel, but it may be a historical arrangement in the dark, and it may be the best way to resolve the entanglement between Ukraine and Russia. War is brutal, but it’s also the fastest way to rise from the ashes. Looking back on the 200-year-long Crusades, there were heavy casualties, but at the same time, the dark ages in Europe were driven away, and the European Renaissance was ushered in. This is how Western civilization is now. From this perspective, Ukraine has been a blessing in disguise. Lao Tzu said, “Disasters are what blessings depend on.” Is it a lie?
Russia invaded Ukraine, and Ukraine suffered huge losses. Except for part of the territory occupied, the original peaceful life was completely disrupted. At present, 11.5 million Ukrainians have been displaced, either at home or abroad; More than 100,000 people; 30% of the territory has been mined, and mine clearance will take a long time; economic losses of more than 600 billion US dollars; an inestimable amount of cultural assets have been deliberately destroyed or occupied; Children are not allowed to speak Ukrainian, Ukrainian history is rewritten; many cities are bombed to the ground, such as Chernihiv, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Bakhmut; in order to force Ukrainian Surrendered, many power and water facilities were destroyed, which made Ukrainians suffer in the cold winter….
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine has accelerated the transformation of the movement originally focused on the abolition of the communist past into a “de-Russification” movement, such as setting Victory Day as the West’s May 8th instead of Russia’s May 9th, dismantling and Russia-related monuments and statues, and streets renamed after Ukrainian independence leaders, poets, artists, soldiers and heroes on the battlefield.
History is always full of surprises. The war did not make the Ukrainians succumb, but instead became more frustrated and courageous. This blood debt plus the blood debt of the past made it impossible for Ukrainians to go back forever, and they could not return to the embrace of Russia. After this war, the Russian-Ukrainian relationship that has been constantly cut and messed up can be cleaned up. It is difficult for Russian-language and pro-Russian forces to reappear in Ukraine, and Ukrainians are more united. On the other hand, after the war, Ukraine’s political , diplomacy, economy, military and the European Union are getting closer and closer, Ukraine will throw off Russia, stride towards the West, join NATO, join the European Union, and use the euro. A brand new Ukraine was born, thanks to Russian President Vladimir Putin!
