Russia is exhausted from patience, Putin starts revenge operation
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the performance of the Russian army has always brought a sense of incongruity to the outside world. Not only did the strategic bomber be used to bomb Ukraine indiscriminately, but Ukraine's important airports, power stations and transportation hubs are basically safe and sound, and Russia seems to be in a state of confinement. However, with the explosion of on the Crimea Bridge, Russia seemed to have exhausted its last little patience, and Russia officially started its own revenge operation.
At around 8:00 on October 10, Russia launched a new round of missile attack on Ukraine, and the entire Ukraine sounded an air defense alarm. It is reported that the important infrastructure of the eight states of Ukraine have been hit, and the Ukrainian capital Kiev City has been "key care" by the Russian army. There have been many explosions in the center of Kiev, and even mushroom cloud has risen. BBC reporter witnessed the Russian attack with his own eyes and said that this was the first attack in Kiev in months, and even the presidential office of Zelensky was affected.
This time, Russia's attack on Ukraine can be seen as Russia's revenge operation against the Crimea Bridge. Although Ukraine did not make it clear that the Crimean Bridge bombing was caused by Ukraine, on the day the Crimean Bridge was attacked, Mikhail Podolak, director of Zelensky's office, said that this was just the "start". It is not difficult to guess that the attack on the Crimean Bridge is inseparable from Ukraine. " Washington Post " reported that the explosion on the Crimea Bridge triggered celebrations in Kiev, and Ukrainian government officials celebrated and posted pictures of the bridge collapse and videos of the explosion moments on social media. On October 9, Russian President Putin officially announced that the attack on the Crimea Bridge is an "terrorist act" aimed at destroying important Russian civil infrastructure.
After the four places in eastern Ukraine and eastern Ukraine entered Russia, Putin mentioned in a speech: Russia will use all means to defend the country's land. The warning in Putin's words is already very obvious: if Ukraine launches attacks on Russian territory and important facilities, the Russian army will not continue to maintain restraint, and special military operations against Ukraine are likely to evolve into a formal war.
0 The Russian army was previously restrained, giving the Ukrainian army an opportunity to take advantage of
. The reason why Ukraine has not been defeated so far is that in addition to the Russian army maintaining restraint in special military operations, the West's hollowing out of its family-related aid to Ukraine is also an important reason. In order to prevent the scale of the war from expanding, Russia did not attack Ukraine's important civil facilities. Ukraine was able to use train stations and airports to quickly transport Western-assisted weapons and equipment to the frontlines.
Most power plants in Ukraine are safe and sound, which has not affected the lives of the people in western Ukraine too much. There has even been an unfair landscape where the people in eastern Ukraine are fighting hotly and the people in western are still on vacation by the sea.
If Russia learns from the US military's practices, it will use graphite bombs and cluster bombs to destroy Ukraine's power system and transportation hubs and launch large-scale attacks on civilian facilities, causing huge panic among Ukraine, and it is afraid that Ukraine will find it difficult to hold on until October.
Judging from the Russian military's attack on Ukraine this time, Russia is fully capable of launching a precise strike against Ukrainian civil facilities. According to Ukrainian Energy Minister Harushenko, Russian missile attacks destroyed Ukraine's thermal power stations and substations and . Ukraine has stopped exporting electricity to Europe from October 11. You should know that the Russian army only launched 75 missiles this time, which once paralyzed Ukraine's power system. On the night of the attack, 1,307 residential areas in Ukraine were still out of power. If the Russian army let go, it may be possible for the Ukrainian people to experience the life of the "primitive society" within a few days. Now Ukraine is ushering in a cold winter. If the Russian army launches an indiscriminate strike on Ukrainian civil facilities, the Ukrainian people will definitely not have a good life.
Air strikes on Kiev made Zelensky sober. Before the Russian army was serious, Ukraine defeated a Russian army on the battlefield, and regained nearly 3,000 square kilometers of land, occupying the strategic important place, Chongliman. This gave Zelensky an illusion: Ukraine has the ability to "counterattack" Russia. Zelensky, who is full of confidence, even specifically legislated: Ukraine will not negotiate with Russia under Putin's rule. Zelensky's move is like clearly showing that he wants to "remain until death" with Putin. Since Ukraine "does not know how to politely", Putin also needs to let Zelensky wake up. The missile attack on October 10 can be said to be Putin's last warning to Zelensky. Putin said on the same day: If Ukraine continues to attack Russian territory, Russia will take more tough response measures.
Russian Federation Council Chairman Bondalev even made the statement clear: 's large-scale strike on Ukrainian energy and communication facilities marks the entry of a new stage of special military operations, and the Russian army will take more decisive actions in future wars. It can be said that Zelensky squandered the last possible possibility of the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks.
Vice Chairman of the Russian Federation Security Conference Medvedev said: Ukraine will face more blows in the future. Given that the Ukrainian government poses a direct threat to Russia, in order to protect the Russian people, Russia's future action goal is to completely disintegrate the Ukrainian regime.
Russia's statement means that the special military operation against Ukraine has been cancelled, and Russia is likely to fight Ukraine in a full-scale war. At this stage, the total Russian army's total strength on the Ukrainian battlefield is no more than 200,000. Russia's elite strategic missile forces have not been dispatched. The Russian Aerospace Force still has hundreds of fighter jets on standby in , Syria, and , Siberia, . The 300,000 reserve troops used by Russia will also be deployed on the defense line. Once Russia uses all its strength, it is still unknown how many days Ukraine can withstand.
This Russian-Ukrainian conflict also taught Putin a lesson: The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. When Russia started the war, it was obviously too underestimated by the enemy. Putin hoped to use a "punishment" military action to force the Ukrainian government to surrender or sign a peace agreement with Russia in the short term. However, after a short-term panic, Ukraine quickly organized effective defense and won the time for Western aid to be sent to the front line, and started a tug-of-war with Russia, and Russia missed the best window for victory. It is not too late to make up for the loss of sheep. This attack by the Russian army on the entire territory of Ukraine may indicate that the Russian army will change its tactics and no longer show mercy!
