Ngelixa abalawuli beBiden bethumela imikhosi kunye nezixhobo ezongezelelekileyo ukutshisa ingxabano yaseUkraine kwaye iCongress igalela amafutha amaninzi emlilweni, abantu baseMelika bakwindlela eyahlukileyo ngokupheleleyo.
NgoDisemba 2021 poll yafumanisa ukuba uninzi lwabantu baseMelika kuwo omabini amaqela ezopolitiko bakhetha ukusombulula iyantlukwano eUkraine ngozakuzakuzaku. Ngomnye uDecember poll yafumanisa ukuba uninzi lwabantu baseMelika (ipesenti ezingama-48) bangachasa ukuya emfazweni neRussia ukuba inokuthi ihlasele iUkraine, ngeepesenti ezingama-27 kuphela ezithanda ukubandakanyeka emkhosini wase-US.
I-Conservative Koch Institute, eyagunyazisa olo voto, yagqiba ukuba "I-United States ayinamdla ubalulekileyo e-Ukraine kwaye iqhubeka nokuthatha amanyathelo anyusa umngcipheko wokujongana neRussia enezixhobo zenyukliya ayiyomfuneko kukhuseleko lwethu. Emva kweminyaka engaphezu kwamashumi amabini emfazwe engapheliyo kumazwe aphesheya, ayimangalisi into yokuba kubekho ukulumka phakathi kwabantu baseMelika ngenye imfazwe engayi kusenza sikhuseleke okanye siphumelele ngakumbi. ”
Elona lizwi lidumileyo elichasene nemfazwe kwi kunene ngumamkeli weNdaba zeFox uTucker Carlson, obegqagqana nookhetshe kuwo omabini amaqela, njengabanye abantu abachasene nokungenelela.
Ngasekhohlo, imvakalelo yokulwa nemfazwe yayisebenza ngokupheleleyo ngoFebruwari 5, xa iphelile Ngo-75 uqhankqalazo kwenzeka ukusuka eMaine ukuya eAlaska. Abaqhankqalazi, abaquka amatshantliziyo emibutho yabasebenzi, abagcini bendalo, abasebenzi bezempilo kunye nabafundi, bakugxekile ukugalela imali engakumbi emkhosini xa sineemfuno ezitshisayo ezininzi ekhaya.
Unokucinga ukuba iCongress iya kuvakalisa uluvo loluntu lokuba imfazwe neRussia ayikho kumdla welizwe lethu. Endaweni yoko, ukuthatha isizwe sethu emfazweni kunye nokuxhasa uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lomkhosi we-gargantuan kubonakala ngathi yimiba yodwa amaqela avumelana ngayo.
Uninzi lwamaRiphabhlikhi kwiCongress egxeka uBiden ngenxa yokungabi nzima ngokwaneleyo (okanye ukugxila eRashiya endaweni yeChina) kunye neeDemokhrasi ezininzi soyika ukuchasa umongameli weDemokhrasi okanye ubhekwe njengabathetheleli bakaPutin (khumbula, iiDemokhrasi zichithe iminyaka emine phantsi kweTrump idemoni eRussia).
Omabini amaqela anamatyala afuna izohlwayo ze-draconian eRussia kwaye akhawulezise “uncedo olubulalayo” eUkraine. AmaRiphabhlikhi akhuthaza $ 450 yezigidi kwiimpahla ezintsha zomkhosi; i Democrats enye-uping kubo ngexabiso tag $ 500 yezigidi.
Inkqubela phambili yeCaucus iinkokheli UPramila Jayapal kunye noBarbara Lee baye bacela uthethathethwano kunye nokwehla. Kodwa abanye kwiCaucus-njengeReps. UDavid Cicilline kunye noAndy Levin-zi abaxhasi yomthetho oyilwayo ochasene neRussia, kunye noSomlomo uPelosi ukulandelela ngokukhawuleza umthetho oyilwayo wokukhawulezisa ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo eUkraine.
Kodwa ukuthumela izixhobo ezingakumbi kunye nokuwisa izohlwayo ezinobunzima kunokuphelisa iMfazwe ebandayo yase-US eRashiya, nazo zonke iindleko zayo zokuya eluntwini lwaseMelika: ukuchitha imali eninzi emkhosini. Ukuchitha indawo inkcitho yentlalo ebifuneka ngamandla; iyantlukwano ngokwelizwe nezopolitiko zijongela phantsi amazwe ngamazwe intsebenziswano ukwenzela ikamva elingcono; kwaye, hayi kancinci, yanda imingcipheko yemfazwe yenyukliya enokuphelisa ubomi eMhlabeni njengoko sisazi.
Kwabo bafuna izisombululo zokwenyani, sineendaba ezimnandi.
Uthethathethwano malunga neUkraine alupheleli nje kuMongameli uBiden kunye noNobhala uBlinken ongaphumelelanga kwiinzame zokubetha amaRussia. Kukho omnye umkhondo wozakuzo osele ukho woxolo eUkraine, inkqubo esekwe kakuhle ebizwa ngokuba yi Iprothokholi yaseMinsk, ekhokelwa yiFransi neJamani kwaye isonganyelwa nguMbutho woKhuseleko neNtsebenziswano eYurophu (OSCE).
Imfazwe yamakhaya eMpuma yeUkraine yaqhambuka ekuqaleni kowama-2014, emva kokuba abantu baseDonetsk naseLuhansk bavakalisa ukuzimela geqe kwi-Ukraine njengeDonetsk (I-DPRkunye neLuhansk (I-LPR) IiRiphabhlikhi zaBantu, ukuphendula kwi Ubhukuqo-mbuso oluxhaswa yi-US eKiev ngoFebruwari 2014. Urhulumente wasemva kobhukuqo-mbuso waseka entsha “Uluhlu lweSizwe” iiyunithi zokuhlasela lo mmandla uqhekekeyo, kodwa abo bahlukanisiweyo balwa bawubamba ummandla wabo, ngenkxaso ethile efihlakeleyo evela eRashiya. Iinzame zezozakuzo zaqaliswa ukusombulula le ngxabano.
le yokuqala Iprothokholi yaseMinsk yasayinwa “liQela loQhagamshelwano lakwaTrilateral eUkraine” (eRashiya, eUkraine nakwiOSCE) ngoSeptemba 2014. Yanciphisa ubundlobongela, kodwa ayizange iphumelele ukuphelisa imfazwe. IFransi, iJamani, iRussia kunye neUkraine nazo zabamba intlanganiso eNormandy ngoJuni ka-2014 kwaye eli qela laziwa ngokuba yi "Normandy Qhagamshelana" okanye "ifomathi yaseNormandy. "
Onke la maqela aqhubeka nokudibana kunye nothetha-thethwano, kunye neenkokeli zelizwe elizibiza ngokuba yiDonetsk (DPR) kunye neLuhansk (LPR) yeRiphabhlikhi yabantu baseMpuma Ukraine, kwaye ekugqibeleni batyikitya isivumelwano. IMinsk II isivumelwano ngoFebruwari 12, 2015. Imigaqo yayifana neProtocol yaseMinsk yasekuqaleni, kodwa ineenkcukacha ezithe kratya kunye nokuthenga okungakumbi kwi-DPR kunye ne-LPR.
Isivumelwano seMinsk II samkelwe ngamxhelo mnye liBhunga lezoKhuseleko le-UN kwi Isisombululo 2202 ngoFebruwari 17, 2015. IMelika ivotele esi sigqibo, kwaye abantu baseMelika abangama-57 ngoku basebenza njengabahloli bokuphelisa imfazwe OSCE eUkraine.
Izinto eziphambili zeSivumelwano saseMinsk II sika-2015 zazi:
-ukupheliswa kwamazwe amabini kwangoko phakathi kwemikhosi karhulumente wase-Ukraine kunye nemikhosi ye-DPR kunye ne-LPR;
– ukurhoxiswa kwezixhobo ezikhulu kwindawo eneekhilomitha ezingama-30 ububanzi ecaleni kwendlela yolawulo phakathi kukarhulumente nemikhosi eyahlulayo;
– unyulo kwi-Donetsk (DPR) kunye neLuhansk (LPR) yePeople's Republics, eziza kubekwa esweni yi-OSCE; kwaye
- uhlaziyo lomgaqo-siseko ukunika ukuzimela okukhulu kwiindawo ezigcinwe ngokwahlukana phakathi kwe-Ukraine edibeneyo kodwa engaphantsi kwe-Ukraine.
Indawo yokuphelisa imfazwe kunye ne-buffer zone ibambe ngokwaneleyo iminyaka esixhenxe ukunqanda ukubuyela kwimfazwe yamakhaya epheleleyo, kodwa ukulungelelanisa. Ukhetho eDonbas ukuba omabini amacala aya kuqaphela kuye kwabonakala kunzima.
I-DPR kunye ne-LPR ihlehlise ukhetho ngamaxesha amaninzi phakathi kwe-2015 kunye ne-2018. Babambe ukhetho oluphambili kwi-2016 kwaye, ekugqibeleni, unyulo jikelele ngoNovemba 2018. Kodwa i-Ukraine, i-United States okanye i-European Union ayizange ivume iziphumo, ithi unyulo alukho. iqhutywe ngokuthobela iProtocol yeMinsk.
Ngokwenxalenye yayo, i-Ukraine ayenzanga utshintsho lomgaqo-siseko ekuvunyelwene ngalo ukunika ukuzimela okukhulu kwimimandla eyahlukanisiweyo. Kwaye abahluli abazange bavumele urhulumente ophakathi ukuba aphinde athathe ulawulo lomda wamazwe ngamazwe phakathi kweDonbas neRashiya, njengoko kuchaziwe kwisivumelwano.
The I Normandy IQela loQhagamshelwano (iFransi, iJamani, iRashiya, iUkraine) yeProtocol yeMinsk idibene rhoqo ukususela ngo-2014, kwaye idibana rhoqo kuyo yonke le ngxaki yangoku, kunye nayo. intlanganiso elandelayo ocwangciselwe ukuba ngoFebruwari 10 eBerlin. Abahloli be-OSCE abangama-680 abangaxhomanganga kunye nabasebenzi benkxaso abangama-621 e-Ukraine nabo baqhubekile nomsebenzi wabo kuyo yonke le ngxaki. Yabo ingxelo yamuva, ekhutshwe ngoFebruwari 1, ibhalwe i-65% kuncipha ekunyhashweni kokupheliswa komlilo xa kuthelekiswa kwiinyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo.
Kodwa ukonyuka kwenkxaso yomkhosi wase-US kunye nozakuzo ukusukela ngo-2019 ukhuthaze uMongameli Zelensky ukuba arhoxe kwizibophelelo zaseUkraine phantsi kweProtocol yeMinsk, kwaye aphinde aqinisekise ulongamo lwase-Ukraine olungenamiqathango phezu kweCrimea neDonbas. Oku kuye kwaphakamisa uloyiko oluthembekileyo lokunyuka okutsha kwemfazwe yamakhaya, kwaye inkxaso yase-US ye-Zelensky's posture egqwala kakhulu iye yajongela phantsi inkqubo ekhoyo yozakuzo yaseMinsk-Normandy.
Ingxelo yamva nje kaZelensky ukuba "ukuphaphazela" kumakomkhulu aseNtshona kudodobalisa uqoqosho eUkraine icebisa ukuba ngoku usenokuba uyazi ngakumbi imigibe kwindlela yokujongana ngakumbi eyathathwa ngurhulumente wakhe, ngenkuthazo yase-US.
Ingxaki ekhoyo ngoku kufuneka ibe ngumnxeba wokuvuka kubo bonke ababandakanyekayo ukuba inkqubo yaseMinsk-Normandy isala kuphela isakhelo esisebenzayo sesisombululo esinoxolo eUkraine. Ifanele inkxaso epheleleyo yamazwe ngamazwe, kubandakanywa namaLungu eCongress ase-US, ngakumbi ekukhanyeni izithembiso ezaphukileyo ekwandiseni i-NATO, indima yase-US kwi-2014 ubukuqo-mbuso, kwaye ngoku uloyiko ngenxa yoloyiko lokuhlaselwa kweRashiya amagosa aseUkraine athi kunjalo phezulu.
Kwindlela eyahlukileyo, nangona inxulumene, yezozakuzo, i-United States neRussia kufuneka zijongane ngokukhawuleza nokuwohloka kobudlelwane bamazwe amabini. Esikhundleni sobukroti kunye nokuphakama okukodwa, kufuneka babuyisele kwaye bakhe ngaphambili ukungasebenzi izivumelwano abazishiyileyo, bebeka umhlaba wonke kuzo ingozi ekhoyo.
Ukubuyisela inkxaso yase-US kwiProtocol yaseMinsk kunye neFomathi yaseNormandy kuya kunceda kwakhona ukuphelisa iingxaki zangaphakathi zaseUkraine esele zinameva kwaye zintsonkothile ukusuka kwingxaki enkulu ye-geopolitical yokwandiswa kwe-NATO, ekufuneka isonjululwe yi-United States, iRussia kunye ne-NATO.
I-United States kunye neRussia akufuneki basebenzise abantu base-Ukraine njengama-pawns kwiMfazwe ebandayo evuselelweyo okanye njengeetshipsi kwiingxoxo zabo malunga nokwandiswa kwe-NATO. Abantu baseUkraine bazo zonke iintlanga bafanelwe yinkxaso yokwenene ukuze basombulule iiyantlukwano zabo baze bafumane indlela yokuhlala kunye kwilizwe elinye-okanye bahlukane ngoxolo, njengoko abanye abantu beye bavunyelwa ukuba benze njalo eIreland, eBangladesh, eSlovakia nakuyo yonke indawo eyayisakuba yi-USSR kunye neYugoslavia.
kwi 2008, u-Ambassador wase-US eMoscow (ngoku uMlawuli weCIA) uWilliam Burns walumkisa urhulumente wakhe ukuba ukuxhoma ithemba lobulungu be-NATO e-Ukraine kunokukhokelela kwimfazwe yamakhaya kwaye ibonise iRashiya ngentlekele kumda wayo apho inokunyanzeliswa ukuba ingenelele.
Kwintambo epapashwe yiWikiLeaks, uBurns ubhale wathi, “Iingcali zisixelela ukuba iRussia inenkxalabo enkulu yokuba iyantlukwano eyomeleleyo yaseUkraine malunga nobulungu be-NATO, uninzi loluntu lwaseRussia ngokuchasene nobulungu, inokukhokelela kuqhekeko olukhulu, olubandakanya ubundlobongela okanye ubundlobongela. okona kubi, imfazwe yamakhaya. Ngelo xesha, iRashiya kwakuza kufuneka igqibe enoba iza kungenelela kusini na; isigqibo iRashiya angafuni kujongana nayo. "
Ukusukela kwisilumkiso sikaBurns ngo-2008, abalawuli abalandelelanayo base-US bangene nzulu engxakini awayeyixele kwangaphambili. Amalungu eNkongolo, ngakumbi amalungu e-Congressional Progressive Caucus, angadlala indima ephambili ekubuyiseleni ingqondo kumgaqo-nkqubo wase-US e-Ukraine ngokulwela ukumiswa kobulungu be-Ukraine kwi-NATO kunye nokuvuselelwa kweProtocol yaseMinsk, apho ulawulo lukaTrump kunye neBiden lunekratshi. uzame ukunyusa nokunyusa ukuthunyelwa kwezixhobo, ukugqiba kunye noloyiko.
esweni OSCE Iingxelo eUkraine zonke zihamba nomyalezo obalulekileyo othi: “Iinyani Zibalulekile.” Amalungu eCongress kufuneka awamkele loo mgaqo olula kwaye azifundise malunga nediplomacy yaseMinsk-Normandy. Le nkqubo igcine uxolo lwe-Ukraine ukususela ngo-2015, kwaye ihlala i-UN-evunyiweyo, isakhelo esivunyelwene ngamazwe ngamazwe malunga nesisombululo esihlala sihleli.
Ukuba urhulumente wase-US ufuna ukudlala indima eyakhayo e-Ukraine, kufuneka axhase ngokunyanisekileyo esi sikhokelo esele sikhona kwisisombululo sengxaki, kwaye aphelise ungenelelo olunzima lwase-US oluye lwajongela phantsi kwaye lwalibazisa ukuphunyezwa kwayo. Kwaye amagosa ethu anyuliweyo kufuneka aqale ukumamela abavoti babo, abangenamdla kwaphela wokulwa neRussia.
