The situation in Ukraine has been going on for a while now. Although Russia and Ukraine had a negotiation, the effect was not ideal. The two sides did not reach an agreement or consensus, and the Russian army's offense did not stagnate and was advancing westward. Kiev , Kharkov and other major cities in Ukraine have the shadow of the Russian army. is now full of holes in Ukraine.
According to reports, on March 3, Ukrainian officials said to the outside world that the Russian army captured the important city in southern Ukraine yesterday, and it was also the first important city in Ukraine that it occupied since the Russian army launched a military operation. The mayor of Kherson proved the news, saying that the Russian army had surrounded the city. After a few days of fierce fighting, the Ukrainian army was unable to resist the Russian offensive and began to retreat to nearby areas. and said: "There are no Ukrainian troops here."
Khlsong City has an important strategic position. It is located at the mouth of the Dnieper River with a population of 300,000. It is an important town in southern Ukraine. Being conquered by the Russian army is of great significance to Russia's military operations. It is also an important port city. Now the southern Russian army has begun to advance towards its next goal, namely Nikolayev . The capture of Khlsong this time also greatly motivates the Russian army that besieged Kiev and Kharkov.
If the Russian army continues to advance and control another important Ukrainian port city, Odessa , then Ukraine will be fully controlled by the Russian army in the Black Sea area, and then Ukraine will become a completely "landlocked country" . More importantly, Ukraine's maritime resources will also be cut off by the Russian side.
Now the Russian military intention is also very obvious. It will defeat the southern cities in Ukraine one by one. After that, if Ukraine wants to obtain the military supplies given by Western countries, it must enter from land. For example, from Baltic Three Kingdoms or Poland and other countries, the maritime channel has been completely intercepted by the Russian side. Even if the materials are transported by land, Belarus recently announced the abolition of the "nuclear-free", so the Russian ballistic missile can be deployed in Belarus. If the situation is tense, it can also effectively intercept the materials entering from the west.
So Odessa has become another important military target of the Russian army. If Odessa is controlled, it will be a "shock" to the Ukrainian government. can also see the gap in military strength between Russia and Ukraine. In Khlsong, the 79th Air Mobile Brigade and the 55th Artillery Brigade of the Ukrainian Army were stationed. The 55th Brigade had three 2A65 howitzer battalions and one MT-12 anti-tank artillery battalion, but a large part of the Crimea that had been transferred to block the Russian attack, so it was impossible to resist the Russian offensive at all.
is now on the 8th day of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the two countries will also usher in the second round of negotiations. The Ukrainian delegation has set out to the location of negotiations with the Russian side. According to the introduction of the Russian delegation, this negotiation will discuss topics such as ceasefire and the establishment of humanitarian channels. In the past 24 hours, the Russian army has destroyed 150 military facilities in Ukrainian side, as well as multiple air defense missile systems and drone . Both Russia and Ukraine have no way out now.
Russia should still adhere to the theme of "fighting and talking". Russia has already gone to the negotiation site to wait for Ukraine's delegation, so Russia is willing to negotiate and is sincere, but it also has its own concerns, because if the ceasefire is carried out for negotiation, it is worried that Ukraine will delay and wait for . The longer the time is delayed, the less beneficial it will be for Russia. Only by maintaining the war can Ukraine make changes.
So why did the two sides quickly push for another negotiation? Both Russia and Ukraine are suffering a significant blow. For Russia, Western countries have been continuously sanctioning on Russia during this period, which has caused huge economic and financial pressure on Russia. ruble is now depreciating rapidly, and the stock market has also been severely damaged. The pressure from the West continues. For Ukraine, the safety of domestic people's lives is threatened, and the number of refugees is increasing day by day, which is not beneficial to the development of the country.
is not only Russia and Ukraine, but Europe is also greatly affected now. Ukrainian refugees poured into European countries, which also put a considerable burden on the normal operation of each country. Therefore, negotiations as soon as possible may be the optimal solution. promotes the two sides to achieve their goals through dialogue and ease the situation is an effective and possible path, and it is also a path that Russia and Ukraine must adhere to.
If the war continues, it will only be a loss-win situation in the end. By now, nearly 500 people have died in the Russian army, while the Ukrainian army has reached nearly 3,000. The war is without a winner. Its "master behind the scenes" the United States is watching the fire from the other side and reaping the benefits of the fisherman. If Zelensky does not want more innocent people to be hurt, he should negotiate sincerely as soon as possible, otherwise only more people will be injured.
