He Weiwen: U.S. reaps huge benefits from Ukraine crisis

The Ukraine crisis has entered its second month, causing massive casualties among Russian and Ukraine soldiers and civilians while creating over 4 million refugees. China, the EU, France, Germany, Turkey, Israel and others have been working hard to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiation table. U.S. President Joe Biden, contrary to China and other countries working for peace, has been busy sending weapons to Ukraine and other NATO countries and fanning fires at the NATO and G7 summits. They are pressing for devastating sanctions on Russia, and reshaping of the world order. It is clear that the U.S. wants the war to continue.

Parag Khanna: The New ‘End of History’

When Francis Fukuyama’s seminal essay The End of History? was published in 1989, there was a question mark at the end of the title—and rightly so. He was making a tentative hypothesis, not the strident assertion attributed to him in subsequent years. But the apparent stability of the conditions that prompted his inquiry justifiably lulled many in the West into a false sense of superiority. With the Cold War about to suddenly and spectacularly end, Fukuyama was undeniably prescient, but he was also pushing on an open door.

Reactions to the war in Ukraine and perceptions about the ensuing political crisis differ widely. Although the war is a major concern for Chinese diplomacy, and President Xi Jinping pointed out that “China does not want to see the situation in Ukraine to come to this,” Chinese and European assessments of the situation mostly lie worlds apart.

Parag Khanna: Russia Joins the Asian Club

We can imagine an end state to the Ukraine invasion: a territorial settlement in which Russian President Vladimir Putin cements his control over parts of eastern Ukraine, including a land bridge to Crimea, which Russia has not let go of for nearly a decade, while Ukraine retains control of the rest of the country. Ukrainian refugees may return en masse from European shelters to rebuild what remains of their broken but proud nation after this latest of history’s invasions of their motherland.

John Ross: Russia-China Cooperation Crucial in a Very Dangerous Moment for Humanity

The US attempt to expand NATO into Ukraine, both in its direct effects and in emboldening the Kiev government’s attempt to deprive the Russian speaking population of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine of their rights via the 2014 coup d’etat, is the cause of the Ukraine military conflict. But while there are extremely specific features of the Ukraine situation there are also key elements characterising the present course of US foreign policy. These pose a great threat to humanity as a whole and have direct effects on Russia-China relations. This latter aspect is the subject of this article.

Wang Yiwei: NATO summit to fan flames of Ukraine crisis, unlikely to reach major concrete consensus

As NATO leaders gathered on Thursday to discuss the Ukraine crisis, the US has been mulling new sanctions on Russia to further pressure it. While the military alliance plans to boost military deployments in eastern Europe, it also targeted China - an extraterritorial third-party that has been calling for peaceful dialogue to de-escalate the situation - and continued to distort its role, which, some Chinese experts said, would only fan the flames, resulting in a prolonged conflict and a growing humanitarian crisis that heavily weighs on Europe.

John Ross: US economic downturn motivates its global military expansion

The US threat to bring Ukraine into NATO, which caused the Ukraine military conflict, signifies the United States has been prepared to cross a new threshold in its aggressive international military policy. Previously the US carried out military actions against developing countries with far weaker armed forces than itself - Serbia (1999), Afghanistan (2001), Iraq (2003), Libya (2011). But the US threat to extend NATO into Ukraine was a policy which it knew in advance affected the most fundamental national interests of a country with strong military forces including nuclear weapons - Russia - therefore explicitly crossing Russia's "red lines."

The remarks indicated that the US president may have been frustrated by Moscow's resistance against US sanctions and isolation through effective countermeasures.

Vijay Prashad: Hunger Stalks Central Asia as the Ukraine War Unfolds

On March 16, 2022, Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev delivered his State of the Nation address in Nur-Sultan. Most of Tokayev’s speech was about the political reforms in Kazakhstan he had either accomplished or planned to advance, after he had promised them as redress to January’s political unrest and protests against the Kazakh government. He also addressed the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on Kazakhstan during his speech and pointed to the spikes in food prices and currency volatility as some of the worrying economic consequences being faced by the country as a fallout of this conflict.
