According to Beijing News report, Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov said in an interview with the British media a few days ago that Ukrainian President Zelensky has instructed the top military generals to formulate a plan to retake the southern region. , the region is vital to Ukraine’s national economy. To this end, Ukraine is gathering a large number of troops.
The day before, Reznikov also told the media that Ukraine now has an army of more than 1 million people, including members of the armed forces, the National Guard, border guards and the national police. In addition, senior Ukrainian government officials also shouted to the people in areas controlled by the Russian army such as Kherson , asking them to use all means to leave the city in order to avoid being "accidentally injured" when the Ukrainian army launched a counterattack. To sum up, it seems that the Ukrainian government is serious about launching a counterattack against the Russian army.
However, objectively speaking, Ukraine currently lacks heavy suppressive weapons such as heavy artillery and , as well as assault equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles. What is even more terrible is that the Ukrainian army has already lost air superiority at the beginning of the war. Under such circumstances, if the Ukrainian army really gathers on a large scale and prepares to launch a large-scale battle with the Russian army, this will undoubtedly be a "god-given opportunity" for the Russian army to annihilate the Ukrainian army's effective strength. Therefore, when NATO troops dare not openly intervene in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine's gathering of troops to try to regain the accused territory is tantamount to a suicidal action.
In fact, Ukraine is clamoring to launch a large-scale counterattack against the Russian army at this time. Although the propaganda work is quite adequate, this just shows that Kiev is bluffing. As we all know, due to the lack of air superiority, the Ukrainian army's large-scale military operations have no concealment in the face of the Russian army's integrated air and space reconnaissance system. Now the Kiev authorities are still making high-profile propaganda about their "counter-offensive" intentions. This shows that the Kiev authorities are bluffing or releasing smoke bombs for other strategic purposes to confuse the Russian army.
Sure enough, at the same time that Zelensky issued the order to counterattack, the Ukrainian authorities made a decision that exposed the true purpose behind the smoke bombs of their counterattack. According to the Beijing News website, Klitschkov, the mayor of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, recently stated that the city government has launched a military training plan for Kiev citizens to improve the city’s defense level. It is reported that the authorities' training subjects for citizens include shooting, first aid and how to provide protection in radiation and chemically contaminated environments. Klitschkov also emphasized: Such training courses are organized in every area of the capital. In addition, according to previous disclosures by Russian media, as early as the middle of last month, Zelensky urgently summoned officials from multiple departments. They were asked to immediately proceed to "safely transport the national grain reserves to Poland ". Obviously, the Ukrainian army is clamoring for a counterattack, but in fact, in the face of the Russian army's attack, Zelensky is not sure whether the Ukrainian army can defend the capital. Therefore, judging from the above-mentioned reaction of Kiev, it seems that they have been preparing for Kiev to be captured.
Although Moscow has repeatedly emphasized that it has "no intention to overthrow the Kiev regime", as the war continues, Russia's attitude towards Kiev seems to be changing. After all, the Kiev authorities are now a pawn in the West's fight against Russia, and they are simply unable to determine the future fate of their own country. Therefore, if the West insists on letting Ukraine "fight to the last man", then Russia may have to turn the Zelensky administration into a government-in-exile at some point in the future. Not long ago, Russian Federal Security Council Vice Chairman Medvedev reminded the West not to prepare prematurely for Ukraine to join the European Union or NATO, because the possibility that Ukraine will be wiped off the world map cannot be ruled out in the future.
Judging from the current situation in Ukraine, it should not be a big problem for Russia to continue fighting for another year and a half, but for Ukraine, the situation is not optimistic. The reason is simple. Judging from the results of the Russian-Ukrainian battle in the Lugansk region, the Russian army has been suppressing the Ukrainian army.More importantly, as the West's war fatigue intensifies and Western countries are currently suffering from severe inflation, their enthusiasm for aid to Ukraine is gradually fading. Under such circumstances, the situation of the Kiev army on the battlefield became even more difficult.
As we all know, Western countries provide large amounts of military aid to Ukraine in order to minimize Russia's war potential at the expense of Ukrainian lives . Therefore, even though the Ukrainian army suffered heavy losses on the Luhansk battlefield and there was no hope of victory, the West did not allow the Kiev authorities to negotiate peace with Moscow. This means that as the war continues indefinitely, one day, the Russian army will reach the city of Kiev.
Therefore, the fact that the Ukrainian authorities are promoting their "counteroffensive" in a high-profile manner does not mean that Zelensky has the capital and confidence. On the contrary, this is more like Kiev trying to signal a "fight to the death" against Moscow in order to deter the Russian army from attacking other parts of Ukraine, especially Kiev. Otherwise, Kiev would not need to transfer strategic grain reserves to Poland, let alone conduct military training for Kiev citizens to improve the city's defense level.
