Russia and Ukraine are constantly gathering forces, preparing to start a head-on battle, which means that the Ukrainian battlefield is about to usher in the finale? The three major actions of Russia appear together, indicating that Putin is losing patience with the war, and perhaps this will lead to the United States and Russia entering the final stage of showdown.
Russia-Ukraine military conflict has entered the most critical stage. According to foreign media reports on October 9, more than 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have completed assembly in the Luhansk area, and the relevant heavy weapons and equipment are all ready. They are ready to launch a fierce attack on the Russian defense line at any time after a command. The Russian military has also discovered the Ukrainian army's movements and has also begun to gather troops in the area in Sviatovo to deal with the sudden attack of the Ukrainian army at any time. According to the Russian military planning, Sviatovo is currently the logistics transportation transit hub of the Russian army in the Luhansk region. Once the area is lost, the Russian army in the entire Luhansk will face the embarrassing situation of shortage of logistics supplies. If the time goes by, the Russian army in the area has no other choice than retreat. After all, the Russian army will face not only the Ukrainian government forces, but also the "unknown" mercenary from more than 30 countries, which will be a huge test for the Russian army.
According to the official Ukrainian news, after launching a full-scale counterattack against the Russian army in early September, the Ukrainian government forces have successfully completed the recovery of thousands of square kilometers of territory, successfully repelled the Russian army in the areas of Kharkov and bonus man , forcing the latter to take the initiative to retreat. Although the Ukrainian army suffered much higher damage during the war than the Russian army, it is undeniable that the Ukrainian army achieved its ultimate tactical purpose, which is definitely a very "favorable" thing for the Kiev government, because only when the Ukrainian army showed its value on the battlefield can the Ukrainian government continue to ask for weapons, equipment and other forms of assistance from the United States and Western countries. In fact, the United States and Western countries have already thought of this. After spending tens of billions of dollars to arm the Ukrainian government forces, we can finally give the Russian army a "defeat" head-on on the battlefield. This military aid is obviously very cost-effective. After all, compared with the US's annual defense expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars, Ukraine's tens of billions of dollars in military aid is nothing.
This obviously won't be good news for Russia. Although Russian President Putin announced a partial mobilization on September 21 and asked to formulate a corresponding counterattack plan, the situation on the entire Ukrainian battlefield is still developing in a direction that is not conducive to Russia. If it continues, Russia is likely to lose the results of its early military operations, that is, the four major Ukrainian states that were merged into the Russian Federation not long ago will be reclaimed by the Ukrainian army. In this way, the "nuclear warning" issued by the Russian government many times is a joke. Unless Moscow really intends to use tactical nuclear weapon on the Ukrainian battlefield to reverse the situation, the only thing the Russian army can do at present is to defeat the Ukrainian army on the three major battlefields of Zaporoze , Khlsson and Lugansk. It is best to eliminate the living combat forces of the Ukrainian army and save face for the previous defeat. Otherwise, Russia will really become an international joke.
Faced with the development of the Ukrainian war to this current situation, Putin has obviously lost his patience, and the three major actions that followed show that Putin hopes to end this military conflict that should not have happened as soon as possible.
First: Change coach at the last minute. On October 8, Russian Defense Minister Shoigu also appointed General Surovikin, commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, as the commander of the Joint Force of the Special Military Operations Zone, to command all operations of the Russian combat forces in Ukraine.Unlike other academic generals, the new Russian commander has experienced many wars. He has previously commanded the Russian army in Syrian and achieved outstanding results many times, which has won high praise from Putin. Obviously, Putin also hopes that this time, he can keep the general in Syria and lead the Russian army to win this military conflict.
Second, full bombing. Starting from October 10, the Russian army launched long-range fire strikes on many targets in Ukraine. According to incomplete statistics, on the 10th alone, the Russian army launched more than 100 missiles, , and attacked major Ukrainian cities such as Kiev and Kharkov. In addition to targeting Ukrainian military facilities, many civilian facilities have also become one of the targets of the Russian army's attacks. Therefore, some Western media believe that this time it was the Russian army's retaliation against Ukraine after the bombing of the Crimean Bridge, aiming to hit Ukraine's confidence and morale.
3, open up the battlefield. Belarusian President Lukashenko recently announced a new decision, saying that he would form a regional joint force with Russia to prevent military offensives that Ukraine may launch at any time. The Russian combat troops deployed within the border of Belarus will deploy defenses with the Belarusian army to effectively deter and restrain NATO and Ukraine, and successfully prevent the Ukrainian army from getting out of the direction of Kiev. Because they didn't know when the Russian army would cross the border.
In fact, the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict has lasted for more than 7 months, which is long enough for Russia. Therefore, in order to ensure Russia's subsequent development, Putin is likely to completely end it before the end of this year. No matter what method is used, it is fine. After all, there are really not many options that Russia can use now. This also means that the United States and Russia will enter the final showdown stage. The Biden administration chooses to support Ukraine and completely get into evil with Russia. Or maybe they choose to make peace with Russia, sacrifice the interests of Ukraine and Europe, and avoid the escalation of military conflict. Now it is time for the Biden administration to have a headache.
