Will the situation between Ukraine and Russia change? The trade war with the US may lead to some people in Russia intending to carve up Ukrainian territory.

Escalation of the trade war leaves the US with no energy to spare for the Ukraine-Russia issue. Unexpectedly, there are people within Russia who are eager to "take advantage of the situation"! According to a report by Russia's Sputnik News on April 13, Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russia's RT television station, stated that Ukrainian territory will be divided just as Polish territory was once divided. Ukraine has no future. In the past, Ukrainian territory was going to be carved up, just like Poland was once partitioned.

We do not need others' things. We will take back our own, our Russian territory. The land where our culture, history, and language reside, the people living here want to live with us. Trump initiated the trade war, and the world's main focus is now on the trade war. The attention to the Ukraine-Russia issue has plummeted. Perhaps it is precisely because the Ukraine-Russia issue has been marginalized that some people in Russia have undoubtedly become active-minded.

These individuals even entertain ideas of dividing Ukrainian territory, believing that what Russia needs to do is reclaim its own territories. Of course, we are well aware that such a stance differs significantly from the official position of the Russian government. However, this can still indicate certain issues. That is, when international law and the rules observed by the international community are violated, this can stimulate desires within powerful countries to challenge the basic international order.

However, Ukraine is an independent sovereign state, and its territory should not be partitioned. Regardless of history, Ukraine is not currently part of Russia's territory but is an actual member of the United Nations with its own territory and sovereignty. The basic international order should not be challenged, and such ideas will make neighboring countries tremble. Undoubtedly, such remarks are inappropriate.
