Ukraine has imposed sanctions on us! According to the German media report on April 18th, the Ukrainian government announced sanctions against three Chinese entities. These three companies will be banned from doing business in Ukraine and their assets in Ukraine will be frozen. Although Ukraine did not announce the reasons for sanctioning the three Chinese companies, given that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy claimed that China "supplies" weapons to Russia, this sanction is very likely related to this reason.
What do we think of Ukraine's move? To put it bluntly, Ukraine's actions are purely political manipulation. We are neutral about the Russia-Ukraine war. We have never provided lethal weapons to either side of the conflict and strictly controlled dual-use items. In fact, if we really wanted to support Russia, with China's military production capacity, the situation of the Russia-Ukraine war might not be what it is now.
The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for more than three years. And at a time when the US-China trade war is deadlocked, Ukraine didn't take a stand earlier or later but chose this moment to "pin" our military aid to Russia. This is indeed very strange. We don't know what Ukraine's motivation is, but maybe Ukraine intended to help the US. Because if there were so-called Chinese military aid to Russia, it would inevitably make Europe have thoughts about us.
America certainly doesn't want the relationship between China and Europe to become closer. If Ukraine really had such an idea, then we can only say that such tactics are very clumsy because Ukraine has no evidence. Moreover, by such operations, Ukraine ties us to Russia, which benefits Ukraine in what way? Even if Ukraine tries to please America, it won't change the basic fact that America wants Ukraine to come to the negotiation table. If Ukraine focuses too much on me, we may also take action against Ukraine.
