In fact, the collective escape of the rich and politicians in Ukraine has something to do with the repeated "fire" of the United States and its efforts to exaggerate Russia's "invasion.
Clouded Ukraine is staging a chilling scene.
Recently, when a large number of western arms arrived in Ukraine, some Ukrainian tycoons and politicians were either making escape plans or had already chartered planes to run away.
In this regard, Ukrainian President Zelensky inevitably heartache. He said, "Now is an important moment to show unity." Those who keep saying that they are "patriotic" but flee at this moment are hypocritical.
In fact, the collective escape of the rich and politicians in Ukraine has something to do with the repeated "fire" of the United States and its efforts to exaggerate Russia's "invasion.
The United States is already familiar with the means of spreading rumors and adding fuel to the fire.
Regal Politicians Flee Ukraine
As the situation continues to be tense, an fleeing flight appeared over the airport in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian Pravda reported that in recent days, Ukraine's richest people have been fleeing Ukraine collectively. "On the 13 day alone, there were about 20 private planes or charter flights full of rich people taking off from Kiev," and this number was "more than at any time in the past six years".

Among the planes that fled in the past two weeks were Rinat Akmetov, Ukraine's richest man, Viktor Pinchuk, Ukraine's second richest man and steel giant, Vadim Nowitzki, a politician and businessman with assets of US $13 billion, and Oleksandr Yaroslavsky, who ranks ninth in Ukraine's rich list.
At the same time, a source revealed that another opposition member of Parliament, together with businessmen, booked a private plane carrying 50 people and planned to go to Vienna, Austria.

Although some escapees mentioned by the media denied the above statement on the grounds of "business trip" and "aircraft maintenance", Zelensky still expressed disappointment and anger in public.
He said that he and his family are in Kiev and have not left. He hopes that those business oligarchs and politicians who have left Ukraine can return home in the next 24 hours.
U.S. Temporarily Closes Embassy
I don't know how many people will listen to Zelensky's "call", but behind the panic flight of Ukrainians, it is inseparable from the serious "fire" of the United States ".
For some time now, the United States has continued to exaggerate threats in terms of rhetoric. U.S. President's National Security Adviser Sullivan once said, "Russia may invade Ukraine before the 20 of 2 ." U.S. President Biden also personally came down to spread rumors, claiming that Russia "invaded" Ukraine on 2 16. Bloomberg's own goal of "Russia invaded Ukraine" also showed the world the "ability" of the United States to weave lies ".
In action, the United States has not fallen. In addition to continuing to increase troops and deliver weapons, the United States has also taken the lead in calling for citizens to withdraw from Ukraine. This move has also triggered many countries to follow suit.
On the 14, U.S. Secretary of State Blinken announced that he had ordered the closure of the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine in Kiev. He said that he would "temporarily" transfer a small number of diplomats remaining in Kiev to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, and urged "all American citizens staying in Ukraine leave Ukraine immediately".

It's just that American performers have long been seen through. In the eyes of the Russians, the "hysteria" of the United States in the Ukraine crisis has reached its extreme.
Zelensky also expressed doubts about Western media reports. In his televised speech, he called for 2 16 to be "Unity Day" and said, "They (Western media) once again mentioned the day of the attack in order to scare us".
European countries are busy "putting out the fire".
Around the situation in Ukraine, Europeans seem to have shown different attitudes and practices from Americans.
On the 14, German Chancellor Schultz and Zelensky held closed-door talks for nearly two hours. Both sides expressed their hope to ease the Ukrainian crisis through diplomatic means.

Schultz has not responded to Biden's threat that "if Russia invades Ukraine, the United States will end the" Nord Stream -2 "natural gas pipeline project connecting Russia and Germany.
When French President Macron visited Russia and Ukraine recently, he expressed his understanding of Russia's security concerns and put forward his own ideas on the future European security mechanism.
Some analysts believe that the impact of the Ukrainian crisis on the United States is limited, but it may cause serious consequences such as the influx of refugees, economic losses, and the grounding of the "Beixi -2 " project to European countries. For this reason, Europe's first task is to avoid military conflict in Ukraine.
