The American media broke the news that Biden didn't talk to Zelensky about the Polish attack at his repeated request.

Russian TV website 17 today quoted CNN as saying that many people familiar with the matter revealed that US President Biden did not talk to Ukrainian President Zelensky after the missile attack in Poland. However, after Ukraine blamed Russia for the incident, Sullivan, assistant to the US President for national security affairs, called Zelensky's office and urged Ukrainian officials to be "more careful".

CNN reported that Biden and US Secretary of State Blinken were attending the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, and aides woke them up in the middle of the night and told them that a missile exploded in Poland. At 5: 30am local time, Biden spoke with Polish President Duda, and Blinken and Sullivan also spoke with Polish President, then joined Biden and Duda in the conversation.

According to sources, Polish officials learned that the missile explosion occurred at around 10 on Tuesday morning, that is, around 1 1 local time in Bali, and informed their allies at around 1 afternoon, that is, around 2 am local time in Bali on Wednesday. CNN said that through information based on satellite intelligence system and conversations with Polish officials, American officials realized that the missile seemed to be launched by Ukraine.

CNN reported that Biden's advisers urged all parties, including Ukrainian officials, to remain calm and patient when the situation is still unclear. However, about an hour after the relevant news was disclosed, Uzbek President Zelensky claimed that "Russian missiles have hit Poland", calling it a "very significant escalation" and requiring a response.

According to people familiar with the matter, after Zelensky made the above remarks, Sullivan quickly called the office of the President of Ukraine, urging Ukrainian officials to be more cautious when talking about this matter. A person familiar with the matter said that Biden and Zelensky didn't talk on Tuesday night, despite repeated requests from Ukrainian leaders to arrange calls.

People familiar with the matter also told CNN that Biden didn't speak directly to Zelensky until Wednesday afternoon, although he spoke to Duda and NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg after the incident and held emergency talks with world leaders at the G20 summit. However, a few hours after the incident, Sullivan talked with the Director of the Office of the President of Ukraine, while Blinken talked with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba.

The report said that the missile explosion caused some cracks between the Western Union and Ukraine. According to a source, the presidents of the United States and Poland have publicly stated that the missile may have been launched by Ukraine's air defense system, but Zelensky still insisted on Wednesday afternoon that the missile was not launched by Ukraine, which made Polish officials feel "frustrated".

However, CNN reported that Zelensky admitted on Thursday that Ukraine did launch an anti-aircraft missile. But he said, "I don't know what happened. We're not sure. The world does not know. But I'm sure it's a Russian missile. I am sure that we have launched it from the air defense system. " He added that only after the investigation can we draw a conclusion about which missiles landed in Poland.

Extended reading:

The missile incident has made the situation in Russia and Ukraine more complicated: Europe is afraid that the United States will be difficult to do.

Recently, with the huge explosion on the border between Poland and Ukraine, missiles fell from the sky and two civilians were killed.

Europe, America and NATO were all taken aback. They urgently need to find out one thing, that is, whether the missile comes from Russia. After the initial uproar, all parties have some clues, all pointing to the same clue-the missile may have been launched by Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Zelensky denied that the missile came from Ukraine. Unexpectedly, US President Biden immediately retorted that Zelensky's statement was "not evidence". Obviously, this incident once again warned the world that the situation around the Ukrainian crisis is becoming more and more complicated!

Europe is afraid.

On the night of165438+1October 15, local time, two explosions were heard in Khrushchev county in eastern Poland, which killed two citizens. Not only Poland, but also Moldova, another neighboring country of Uzbekistan, was attacked by missiles, causing local power outages.

This incident sounded the alarm in Europe.

Being beaten is a real fight, and being afraid is also a real fear, especially for small countries. From Poland's upgrading of the combat readiness level of military units and the re-introduction of the "no-fly zone" in western Ukraine by Baltic countries, we can see that small European countries have suffered a serious psychological impact and are deeply worried.

"Russia Today" quoted live pictures of social media.

Europe, Europe, once a peaceful continent, now brothers turn against each other, wars spread and people are in dire straits.

People are not only worried about gasoline, heating costs and bread, but also about the high inflation rate of 6%-7%. Now they are worried about whether there will be "blind missiles" and which day will "randomly" fall on their heads?

This is the sorrow of Europe and a warning to the world. Everyone is rethinking, how did things become like this?

America is very difficult.

Of course Europe is in a hurry, looking at the United States across the ocean.

The missile path probably exceeded the psychological expectation of the United States, that is, it flew outside Ukraine. This incident suddenly made the United States stand up and even affected the established agenda of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia.

US President Biden urgently convened the leaders of the Group of Seven and NATO to discuss together, and several photos of "famous scenes" were born. Let's look at this first. In the photo, everyone's expression is intriguing, and the photographer's shooting angle is even more intriguing. ↓↓

There were only two people sitting at the scene, one was the President of the United States, who took the lead, and the other was the new British Prime Minister Sunak, who met the G20 for the first time before Downing Street 10 burned his ass.

US President Biden pointed his finger under his nose, as if thinking about something. French President Macron, German Chancellor Scholz, Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and others stood around, and Biden's "strategist" US Secretary of State Blinken also leaned in.

Let's take a look at this photo that Biden posted on his Twitter account. He himself is the absolute center and the absolute protagonist, which embodies the status of the United States, and the leaders of the allies surround him. ↓↓

In the photo, Trudeau, Sunak and others listened attentively; Macron, Scholz, chin meditation; Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and Michelle, President of the European Council, were listening to the lecture opposite; In the corner, there was the only leader who was blocked from the door and came to the meeting with an English interpreter-Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio.

The mystery doesn't stop there. It stands to reason that Turkey, a senior member of NATO, should also be in the meeting, but Turkish President Erdogan, who also attended the G20 meeting, could not be found at the scene. It turns out that Erdogan has made it clear that Turkey believes that this missile explosion has nothing to do with Russia.

Unexpectedly, after the meeting, Biden reached a conclusion similar to Turkey: the missile was "unlikely" to be launched by Russia. Biden further revealed that the explosion may have been caused by Ukrainian air defense missiles.

Not only help Russia to clear relations, but also directly name Ukraine? Is this the America we are familiar with?

There is reason to believe that the US government is beginning to worry:

-Biden is worried that after the mid-term elections, his opponents and the party will give themselves a stumbling block and hinder large-scale assistance to Ukraine.

-The United States is worried that Ukraine will become more and more "disobedient". For example, it has begun to push Ukraine and Russia to resume negotiations, but Ukraine fired missiles at Poland.

-the United States is worried that the crisis it provoked will eventually get out of control and push Russia into a hurry.

-the United States is worried that this fire will fall on NATO members and put itself in a moral dilemma of not sending troops.

In short, Russia can be "bled", Ukraine can be sacrificed, and Poland can be implicated, but as the only beneficiary in the chaos, the United States must not be involved. Therefore, this time, the United States personally "faced" Ukraine.

Poland is very wronged.

At first, the beaten Poland immediately stood up and accused Russia. Not only did he agree with Uzbek President Zelensky that this was a "terrorist attack launched by Russia", but Poland also summoned the Russian ambassador.

As a result, the "big brother" of the United States and the Russian Ministry of Defense agreed that Ukraine did it.

The opinion of the Russian Ministry of Defence is that after studying the photos of damaged facilities in Poland, Russian experts judged that the missile fragments were S-300 air defense missiles equipped by Ukraine. Failed to intercept Russian missiles? Deviation during launch? In short, Uzbekistan has repeatedly denied this.

Intriguingly, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov emphasized two points:

1. The "anti-Russian sentiment" caused by the Polish missile crash is unacceptable.

Second, the "restraint" and "professionalism" of the US side and the US president deserve attention and consideration.

Calling America "sworn enemy" and "restrained and professional"? Such wording also makes us see a different Russia.

It is also interesting that Polish President Duda changed his mind. At first, he told reporters that it might be a "Russian-made missile", and then he said:

Poland is calmly responding. At present, there is no conclusive evidence that the explosion at the border is a deliberate attack on Poland, which may be an isolated incident. This missile is not aimed at Poland. There is no evidence in Poland that the missile was launched by Russia. It's probably a Ukrainian air defense missile.

At the critical moment when the United States "hit" Ukraine, Russia came to fight again, so that Poland, which had been punched inexplicably, could only "calmly deal with it".

NATO is very delicate.

Now the situation is very embarrassing, because the missile explosion has changed from the thrilling assumption that "Russian missiles attack NATO member countries and NATO will fight back" to the reverse drama of "NATO member countries fight themselves".

Poland originally planned to convene the NATO Council for consultations in accordance with Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. According to this clause, when the territorial integrity, political independence or security of NATO members are threatened, NATO members will hold emergency consultations at the proposal of any member state.

However, German sources revealed that the emergency meeting between the Bali Group of Seven and NATO members was not held in accordance with this clause. Since then, Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki has indicated that Poland has given up starting this clause. What twists and turns have been experienced in this is unknown.

NATO stipulates that "an armed attack on any contracting party should be regarded as an attack on all contracting parties." But this time, no matter the United States, NATO, Russia or Poland itself, they all said that the missile is more likely to come from Ukraine. It's not Russian anyway.

The embarrassment of NATO is a matter of face, and the use of force is a matter of lining. NATO is unwilling to have a direct conflict with Russia at this stage, otherwise it will not happen to Poland. Don't lose face. Keep lining. In addition, Russia has realized that some people are "trying to provoke a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO."

The situation is complicated.

In fact, it should be noted that as a military alliance that has not disintegrated since the end of the Cold War, it is NATO that constantly updates its strategic concept and intensifies its global expansion, which is the fundamental reason for constantly provoking conflicts and causing chaos.

The "restraint" of the United States and NATO means nothing. It is not ruled out that NATO will not have a large-scale direct conflict with Russia in the future.

Everything is traceable. Just as Biden tried to "put out the fire" for the missile incident, US Secretary of Defense Austin still "shelled" Russia at local time 16, saying that "no matter what conclusion is drawn, Russia will bear the ultimate responsibility for this matter". Polish ambassador to NATO Satkovsky also blamed Russia for the ultimate responsibility.

The situation is complicated, the struggle is fierce and the lesson is profound.

Don't forget how the Bucharest incident, the Zaporoze nuclear power plant shelling incident, the "Beixi" pipeline explosion and leakage incident and the "dirty bomb" storm all turned into Rashomon one after another. Finally, who is the winner?

Maybe a more dangerous moment is still ahead.
