The battle in Severodonesk has basically come to an end. The Russian army has basically taken control of Severodonesk after paying a huge price. This means that a long tug-of-war has finally ended. For Russia, this is a real battle. The victory in Japan severely damaged the Ukrainian army and gained actual control of the strategic hub of Severodonesk. After
obtains this place, it will not be of much benefit to Russia for further attacks, but it will be very beneficial for Russia to consolidate the land it occupied from Ukraine . This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whoever occupies it will have to take it down. There was a heavy price to pay, which was also an important reason why the Ukrainian troops were determined not to leave here at that time. Once they left, it would be difficult to come back.
It can be seen from the current practice of the Russian army in the Wudong area that basically every time it occupies a place, it builds fortifications, lays a large number of mines, and then carries out actual control and prepares to hold on for a long time.
After taking a place like Severodonesk that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Russian army will most likely set up a very solid defensive position in Severodonesk and then concentrate its troops elsewhere.
For the Ukrainian army, it also avoided the recurrence of the Mariupol situation. The Ukrainian army was very worried that Severodonesk would eventually be wiped out by the Russian army. This basically ensures the integrity of the main combat force and moves it to the rear to rest for a period of time.
Under this circumstance, the huge price paid by the Ukrainian army to the Russian army can be considered an explanation. The Ukraine-Russia war has been going on so far, and it is unrealistic to say that the Russian army can be defeated quickly.
Wars between small countries against large countries and between weak countries against strong countries are basically at the expense of increasing losses to the other side, making it difficult to win.
The same is true for China's Anti-Japanese War. It is difficult for the Chinese to drive the Japanese out on their own, but we can increase the cost of Japanese rule and increase the cost of Japanese aggression, and then let the Japanese fall into the predicament of a war of aggression. .
In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, for Ukraine, the current tactics are no different from those before. Basically, they stick to consumption and launch guerrillas in the rear. This strategy is relatively rational and is also a tactic commonly used by small countries against big countries. Taliban did not defeat the Americans, but the Taliban exhausted the Americans. This is the price.
How long will it take now for Ukraine? How long will Europe have to help him? this is a big problem. Because people's sympathy is limited and people's patience is limited, this is a very important and real issue.
Judging from the current overall situation in Europe, the deterioration of relations between Russia and Europe is an overall deterioration, including Lithuania , Poland . Within this year, it is difficult for Russia-Europe relations to loosen, and it is very likely Both sides will face the coldest winter.
At such a stage, the task that Russia has to complete now is to strive for actual control of the Donbass region. As for the main purpose of the Russian army in the Donbas operation - to annihilate the main combat force of the Ukrainian army, I think it has been achieved based on the current actual situation.
However, if we can gain control of Donbas, there will be an explanation for the huge and heavy price paid. Any war needs an explanation to the domestic people, but it is easy to withdraw from the land soaked in blood. It's very difficult. But if we eat without vomiting, I am afraid that a political solution will be far away.
How to rule in a land where there are only a few Russian people is probably also a huge challenge. After all, we cannot transport all the Ukrainians on this land to Siberia like before.
So far there are quite a few foreign mercenaries in the Wudong area. The Russian army said it had eliminated hundreds of mercenaries, but these few hundred mercenaries were a very small part of the total number of mercenaries.
There are now more than 20,000 foreign mercenaries in the Wudong area. They are all elite soldiers and have rich combat experience in so-called infiltration behind enemy lines.
Russia compared to the raid Kiev , the biggest improvement is to improve the logistics, move steadily and steadily, and use railway transportation to improve logistics, but to what extent it can bear the losses is another question.
