Military analyst Yigal Levin, a senior lieutenant in the IDF in reserve, shared his opinion on the speech of Chinese President Xi Jinping at the BRICS meeting.

He notes that Xi’s statements about the need to contain the conflict within Ukraine are not just diplomatic formulations, but a strategic signal for all players. According to Levin, China is effectively trying to isolate the war, preventing it from spreading to other countries and avoiding the involvement of third parties.

Xi Jinping emphasized: “It is important, based on the principles of preventing the spillover of conflicts, their spread to third countries, avoiding the escalation of hostilities and refusing to add fuel to the fire, to promote a speedy de-escalation of the situation.”

For Levin, this sounds like a call to keep the conflict within the borders of Ukraine, so that the devastating consequences are limited to one country. He sees in this approach the desire of major powers such as China to minimize risks for themselves and the region, leaving Ukraine isolated.

“In fact, predators voice the central rules of the game – how the victim should be strangled,” the analyst noted.

Levin believes that Ukraine should not follow this logic. In his opinion, Kyiv’s key task is to break out of the “deadlock” imposed by global players.

He emphasizes that the successful operation in the Kursk region is a step in the right direction, demonstrating how the conflict can be taken beyond the borders of Ukraine. The analyst recalls that the Bryansk region, Belarus, and Transnistria are only part of those regions where Ukraine could increase its influence and military operations, which would help disrupt the plans of Moscow and its allies.

Yigal Levin believes that Ukraine needs to actively support its allies and create new challenges for Russia.

“There are Iran, Syria and the DPRK. It would be nice not just to blow up something there, but to launch a missile and bomb attack, for example (say, from the territory of the Russian Federation with a swarm of drones across the border with the DPRK). Yes, symbolic, but such that with a statement “, he noted.

Levin argues that Xi Jinping and other world leaders, observing events, would be more likely to avoid deep intervention if the conflict remains localized. However, he warns Ukraine against accepting this role as a “victim” of the crisis, calling for it to act decisively and unpredictably.

The analyst is confident: if Kyiv shows its strength, initiates unexpected moves and expands the theater of military operations, major powers will be forced to enter into negotiations and come to agreements.

“Even at the cost of being considered wild and mad, you need to get out of this situation. Set fire to the Caucasus, hit where it is weak, smash those where the Russian Federation cannot come to the rescue (again, hello to Transnistria), etc. Be wild, so that Xi comes to you to decide and negotiate, to ask you to be more moderate, and not wait until Putin finishes you off. Nobody likes good and obedient boys, and no one will help such people,” Levin concluded.
