Who will win the final victory in the Ukraine-Russia war? Everyone has different opinions. Some people say that although Russia did not perform as originally expected, and its tactics and tactics are relatively backward, and Russia has powerful nuclear weapons power, no matter what, the war launched by Russia will not lose in the end. However, recently Timothy Snyder, a history professor at Yale University in the United States, believes that. Ukraine will achieve final victory. He believes that nuclear weapons are not the key to winning or losing a war. The United States is also a nuclear power, but the United States has lost two wars. Last year, the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in embarrassment. Therefore, nuclear powers do not necessarily achieve the ultimate victory in the war.
Timothy Snyder said that in history, there are many cases of small countries defeating large countries. Large countries are often more likely to lose wars, and imperial powers will be humiliated as a result. From a historical perspective, Russia is following the footsteps of the United States step by step, so it is not surprising that Ukraine defeated Russia. It can be seen that what this American expert said makes some sense. At present, the probability of Ukraine winning is not impossible, and Ukraine has been resisting desperately. The top Ukrainian leaders headed by Zelensky have vowed to regain all territory.
Western countries have never given up providing weapons assistance to Ukraine, including many heavy weapons and equipment. Although after the war between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine caused a large number of casualties, the subsequent reserve forces also rushed to the front line to resist the Russian invasion. When the United States invaded Afghanistan, the Taliban avoided its edge and launched guerrilla tactics, which temporarily plunged the United States into the quagmire of war. Twenty years later, the United States finally fled Afghanistan in disgrace. Today, Russia is also facing this situation. Ukraine treats Russia's military offensive as an aggressor. On other fronts, Ukraine is also using guerrilla warfare to attack the invaders. If this war lasts long enough and lasts for 20 years like the US invasion of Afghanistan, then Russia will be overwhelmed and its national strength will be unable to bear the burden. In the end, Russia will withdraw from the battlefield in Ukraine in disgrace like the United States.
Of course, to measure the outcome of the war between the two warring parties, we do not simply judge by the intention of occupying much territory, but by the failure and success of the mission and completion of the final concept, such as the demilitarization of Ukraine. . The demilitarization of Ukraine is the ultimate goal for Russia, but as long as Ukraine's combat effectiveness persists, Russia has not accomplished the goal it set when it attacked. Judging from the current situation, Russia is not guilty, nor is it the ultimate loser. Although Russia's economy has been sanctioned by Western countries, it has not been completely crushed. Moreover, Russia's advantage lies in the large amount of weapons and ammunition left by the Soviet Union. It has no shortage of weapons and ammunition and can fight a long-lasting war with Ukraine. war. At present, the liberation of Donbas is a certain fact, but from a long-term perspective, if this war lasts for 10 or 20 years, more variables will probably arise, and Ukraine cannot be ruled out. Recover lost territory.
