Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine's military has received a large number of NATO standard weapons from external military aid, but it has also suffered heavy losses. U.S. military supplies aiding Ukraine are constantly being seized by Russian soldiers. Faced with Ukraine's steady retreat, the United States also led NATO in condemning Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine. However, Russian President Putin warned Western countries that he has just begun to do so. Experts point out that Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine will instead accelerate the country and Eastern European countries to move closer to NATO.
After occupying the Luhansk area a few days ago, the Russian army is still slowly advancing towards eastern Ukraine. The Ukrainian army said that they had stopped the Russian army's large-scale offensive to the north of the Donetsk area, but the front line did not lie. The Russian army was still shelling fiercely on the city of Slavyansk and nearby densely populated areas. Coupled with the missile and rocket offensive, Ukraine suffered heavy losses. The US aid supplies were abandoned and most of them were captured by the Russian army. The Ukrainian army can only achieve the feat of defeating the Russian army in the news.
The Russian army continues to put pressure on the Ukrainian army, which is trying to defend the northern border of the area. NATO and other Western countries expect the Russian army to launch a wider offensive. Ukraine still controls some large cities in Donetsk Oblast , but in the neighboring Luhansk Oblast , the important town of Lisichansk has fallen into the hands of the Russian army earlier. In addition to helping Russia consolidate its overall control over Luhansk Oblast, In addition, it will also help the Russian army realize its plan to gain control of parts of Donetsk Oblast. Russia is now emboldened to think about war and peace. Its basic strategic goals have been achieved. It depends on how long the United States and NATO want to play with Ukraine.
During the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States assisted Ukraine with a large amount of weapons, ammunition and other military supplies. However, in fact, some were abandoned by its own side, some were seized by Russian soldiers, and some were sold to the black market. Ukrainian frontline soldiers have constantly complained that they lack ammunition, artillery , and lack countermeasures against the Russian army. Ukrainian officials have also publicly admitted this. It seems that the West has provided a large amount of military assistance to Ukraine, and now it seems that half of the weapons can reach Ukraine.
Russia launched a war to prevent Ukraine from moving closer to NATO, which caused heavy losses to the latter, but forced its military system to integrate with NATO. In addition to providing new weapons, the Western world must of course help Ukrainian officers and soldiers learn NATO methods and tactics. In addition to continuing to receive other support such as battlefield intelligence from the United States, former Allied Commander of Europe Bredlow pointed out that it has actually accelerated the process of integrating Ukraine's military system with NATO, and has also made the United States' presence in Europe stronger, even in other Eastern European countries. It also breaks away from Russian equipment at a faster speed, which is what Russia least wants to see.
Western countries are trying every means to use Ukraine to bring down Russia on the battlefield. However, Putin also expressed that he remains open to peace talks. More than four months after Russian troops invaded Ukraine, Putin said the longer the war drags on, the bleaker the prospects for any negotiations. Russia accuses the West of using sanctions to hit the Russian economy and stepping up its supply of advanced weapons to Ukraine to launch a proxy war against Russia. The idea in the West is that the Ukrainians will never stop fighting until the last . This is a tragedy for Ukraine, but everything seems to be heading in this direction.
In fact, what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiation table. The United States has sold Ukraine, and NATO has publicly denied that Ukraine will join NATO. On the contrary, Finland Sweden joined NATO, but NATO denied the border garrison, which is equivalent to reaching a "tacit understanding" with Russia and treating Ukraine as a pawn. As the quantity and quality of U.S. NATO military aid to Ukraine continue to escalate, the spillover of the Russia-Ukraine war has begun to emerge; Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned on the Russia-Ukraine war and relations between Russia and the West that if the United States and NATO intervene with force, heavy losses will surely occur. , you must know that Putin has not started to take action yet.
