Russia and Ukraine's attack and defense around Lisichansk has come to an end, and finally ended with Russia's victory and the Ukrainian army's active withdrawal.
htmlOn July 3, the Ukrainian Independent News Agency revealed that the Russian army was repeating its old tactics, using the tactics of capturing Severodonetsk and Lischichansk to carry out military strikes against Slavyansk, and also bombarded Krama. torsk .Judging from Putin's troop formations, the Russian army, whose morale has greatly increased, should pursue the victory and then attack Donetsk until it captures the entire Donbas. For Ukraine , the situation is indeed not optimistic.
At this moment, something unexpected happened. At the critical moment, Ukraine made four more jokes.
Joke No. 1: After losing ground, Zelensky spoke harshly to Russia.
html On the 3rd, Zelensky stated that the reason for withdrawing troops from Lischichansk was to protect the safety of Ukrainian soldiers. Next, by adjusting tactics and increasing the supply of weapons, Ukraine can also regain the lost territory.
Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine will never give up any land. At present, the Ukrainian army is gradually advancing in Kharkov, Kherson and the Black Sea.
According to Zelenskiy’s statement, the Ukrainian army successively handed over Severodonetsk and Lisichansk to others, which was actually a “tactical retreat”. This was just Ukraine’s delaying strategy. Soon, the Ukrainian army will make a comeback and launch a counterattack against the Russian army until it regains control of the entire Luhansk .
It is not difficult for a discerning person to see that the so-called "counterattack against the Russian army" is just a one-sided statement from Ukraine, at least for the time being. The reason why the Ukrainian army was able to launch counterattacks in Kharkov and Kherson was because the Russian army adjusted its tactics, such as withdrawing troops from near Kharkov, turning to defense in Kherson, and withdrawing troops from Snake Island . If the Russian army did not take the initiative to leave Snake Island, it would be difficult for Ukraine to control Snake Island.
At first, Ukraine's rhetoric was to "launch a counterattack in July", but later it was changed to August. Judging from the current situation, it is still some time before the Uzbek army's equipment is ready. To say the least, even if NATO weapons all arrive at the Donbas front line, the Uzbek army may not be able to defeat the Russian army. There is nothing wrong with
showing off his rhetoric once and twice. After all, Kiev needs to boost the morale of the Ukrainian army. However, if he keeps talking harsh words, it will inevitably make the Ukrainian soldiers feel chilled.
Joke 2, With the Russian army taking the initiative and advantage, Ukraine once again "opened its mouth wide." On the 53rd, Ukraine stated that if Russia wants to resume negotiations, it must agree to the following conditions of Ukraine.
1, cease fire immediately and withdraw Russian troops.
2, compensation for Ukraine’s war losses.
3, recognizes Ukraine’s sovereignty.
4, punishes Russian generals and soldiers who committed war crimes.
Prior to this, Putin's spokesman Peskov said that the United States and its allies are still fighting to continue the war rather than to cease the war. Western countries led by the United States will not allow Ukraine to achieve a ceasefire, but Russia and Ukraine will eventually Return to the negotiating table.
Peskov emphasized that Kiev fully understands Russia’s position and only needs to sit at the negotiating table and sign an agreement.
Zelensky once shouted to Putin that Russian troops must withdraw from Ukraine and restore the border line before February 24. Only in this way will Ukraine continue negotiations with Russia.
Every once in a while, Zelensky will almost ask Putin to withdraw troops, seeming to forget that it is Russia that holds the initiative on the battlefield. It is impossible for Putin to let the Russian troops return without success when the strategic goals have not been achieved. Zelensky repeatedly calling Putin to withdraw troops is tantamount to making the world laugh.
As the White House said, only by winning on the battlefield can negotiations gain advantage. Now is not the time for dialogue, but the time for the United States to support Ukraine. On the 3rd, the White House emphasized that the United States will not promote negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. What the United States has to do is to ensure that Ukraine wins on the battlefield.
It is not difficult to see that the United States is adding fuel to the tension.For the United States, it does not matter whether Ukraine can win. The most important thing is to take the opportunity to maintain US dollar hegemony and push Russia into the abyss. Besides, even if the United States sincerely supports Kiev, it may not be able to help Ukraine reverse the war situation. After all, the strength of Russia and Ukraine is far apart, and it is impossible for the United States to personally get involved in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Joke 3: The Russian army voluntarily withdrew from Snake Island, but was described as "forced to withdraw" by Ukraine. At present, the Ukrainian army has taken control of Snake Island, but Ukraine blames the "Russian army's defeat" for the reason, and does not forget to ridicule Russia.
However, on the 4th, Ukraine made an international joke. The Ukrainian military stated that in the Black Sea, five Russian warships are ready, including two large landing ships, and the Russian military is likely to attack Odessa.
Here comes the question, If the Russian army is really planning to attack Odessa at this time, why did Putin give up the fortress Snake Island to Ukraine?
According to Russia's statement, the main reason for withdrawing troops from Snake Island is to show sincerity to the international community, that is, Russia is not willing to prevent Ukraine from exporting food from the Black Sea.
If it is true as Ukraine said, the Russian army was forced to evacuate Snake Island, the Ukrainian army should have captured Snake Island through military strikes long ago, instead of waiting for the Russian army to retreat before taking over this important place. You know, as early as May, the Uzbek army launched a strong attack on Snake Island, but ended up paying huge casualties.
When the two armies are confronting each other, it is a common tactic to exploit the topic or make a big fuss about it. After all, Russia and Ukraine need to boost their morale, and there is nothing surprising about showing off their victory results. But in the face of indisputable facts, Ukraine still insists on "ignoring the facts", which will make the world laugh.
Joke 4: Ukraine changed its tune again, emphasizing that Belarus would not use force against Ukraine for the time being. On the 3rd, the Ministry of Interior of Ukraine stated that although Belarus is holding military exercises, it has not assembled Belarusian troops on the Ukrainian border. Belarus will not launch a surprise attack on Ukraine in the short term.
html On the 03rd, the President of Belarus expressed support for Russia’s special military operations. Belarus is the only country that supports Russia in this conflict. The forces that accuse Belarus should understand that Belarus and Russia have the closest alliance.Belarus also stated that a few days ago, Ukraine launched missiles towards Belarus, but they were all intercepted. Regarding this matter, Belarus strongly warned Ukraine.
Zelensky said that the relevant statements of the President of Belarus are dangerous, as the Russian military often launches missiles against Ukraine from the Belarusian mainland.
In fact, both Belarus and Ukraine have deployed troops on the border. Both sides are wary of each other. Ukraine has stated overtly and covertly many times that Belarus is ready to help Russia.
But now, as the situation gradually heats up, Ukraine chose to change its words in time and said that "Belarus will not take action for the time being."
Ukraine knows very well that if the Belarusian army ends up attacking Kiev or western Ukraine, it will be Ukraine that will suffer in the end, and it will be the United States and Russia who will reap the benefits. Once Poland takes the opportunity to intervene in the conflict, Ukraine will become a place where various forces compete. may even become the next Syria or Afghanistan . This is not the result Ukraine wants to see.
When the situation is relatively calm, in order to submit a petition to the United States and show a tough side, Kiev always uses harsh words and sometimes even gets angry. When the situation becomes tense, Ukraine will take the initiative to make concessions. It can only be said that Ukraine is indeed very good at making moves that do not follow common sense.
This war has been fought from spring to summer, and may continue into autumn or even winter. It is time to end abruptly. If continues to fight, the result can only be that both Russia and Ukraine will suffer losses, because the artillery shells are short-sighted and the United States has ulterior motives.
