For Russia, special military operations in Ukraine have become a battle of life and death for the country, and failure is unacceptable for Russia. At this moment, Putin received three bad news in a row, and Russia's situation further deteriorated.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has developed to this day, and Russia has no way out. How to end the Ukrainian crisis this time will affect the long-term national destiny of the Russian country. Originally, Russian President Putin launched a special military operation, but he saw that pro-Russia forces in Ukraine and eastern China could no longer be maintained for a long time, so Russia was forced to take action to try to solve the security issues on the western border once and for all. For Russia, the ideal situation is to control the four eastern Ukrainian prefectures and coastal areas, reach an armistice agreement under favorable circumstances, turn Ukraine into a landlocked country, and form a solid security line in western Russia. The purpose of Ukraine and the West is becoming increasingly obvious, which is to completely expel Russia from eastern Ukraine, destroy Russia's military power, and exhaust Russia's national strength.
If Russia ultimately fails to achieve its goal and the war ends according to the wishes of the West, such Russia may no longer have the ability to compete with NATO , and the possibility of further recession or even dismemberment cannot be ruled out. Putin was very clear about the consequences of the failure of the operation. Therefore, he not only repeatedly emphasized that the goals of special military operations must be achieved, but also pointed out that what the Russian army is conducting today is a battle to protect Russia from dismemberment! Obviously, even in the face of an unfavorable situation, Putin did not shake his determination. He clearly knew that Russia must not fail. However, even if Putin still has a strong determination to win, this cannot stop Ukraine and Western conspiracies from causing new harm to Russia. In addition to the unfavorable situation faced by the Russian army on the battlefield, Putin received three new bad news in succession, which is a step further for Russia.
The first news was that the Nord Stream pipeline was damaged. As the most important energy pipeline between Russia and Europe, the two pipelines of "North Stream-1" and "North Stream-2" were previously accidentally damaged, which will have a long-term impact on Russia-European energy cooperation. It is not clear that Russia's plan to repair pipelines is currently available, but in light of the current bad relations between Russia and Europe, energy transactions between Russia and Europe may be difficult to recover in the short term. The disaster is not singular. On October 8, Russia's most valuable strategic facility, , Crimea Bridge, , was attacked by a car bomb, a highway bridge was blown off, and the nearby railway bridge was also damaged. Ukrainian officials later issued a statement claiming that they would destroy all Russia's existence in Ukraine. Obviously, the attack is inseparable from Ukraine and the West. The Crimea Bridge connects Crimean Peninsula with Russia. It is the longest bridge in Europe and is known as Russia's "Century Project". Today, the bridge of is a key artery for the supply of the Russian army in southern Ukraine, and has a direct impact on the war. Although Russia has announced a re-activated, its capacity has been severely limited. This is undoubtedly an additional blow to the Russian army fighting in the south.
Finally, the United States did not forget to put additional pressure on Russia. While the Biden administration continued military aid to Ukraine, it once again raised the argument that threatened Russia. Former US CIA director Peter Rebs said that the United States will completely destroy the Russian army if Russia uses nuclear weapon . US President Biden also said in an interview with the media that if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine, it will suffer "decisive consequences." In addition to such threats warning Russia about the consequences of using nuclear weapons, Biden took the initiative to ruthlessly attack Russia on October 6, claiming that "after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there is a risk of a 'nuclear doomsday' in the world."From the relevant statements of the United States, it seems that the Biden administration has not only not intended to converge in the escalating situation, but is preparing to further increase the pressure on Russia anyway.
It can be said that in the past one or two months, the situation facing Russia has indeed deteriorated sharply. Putin now not only needs to worry about unfavorable wars, but also needs to deal with the attacks on various infrastructures of the United States and Ukraine on Russia. The pressure on Russia is not bad. However, the United States must not misjudgment of Russia's determination. If it thinks that relying on pressure can force Russia to surrender, it would be a big mistake. In fact, people in the West have discovered the problem and called on the United States not to leave. Go too far. French President Macron said on the 8th that he should use words with caution when making remarks about potential threats to nuclear conflict. Obviously, Macron criticized Biden's previous remarks about "nuclear end" and reminded the US president not to lose his mind. It seems that there are still people within the West, and some European leaders understand what the consequences will be forcing Russia to a corner. The United States may benefit a lot from the Ukrainian crisis so far, but if the United States insists on escalating the situation and one day successfully forces Russia to use nuclear weapons, it will be the worst mistake the West has made, and no one will be the winner by then.
