This news was also confirmed by the Russian side. Russia said that the Ukrainian army had indeed controlled the area in the north of Kharkov that was previously controlled by the Russian army and broke through to the border areas of the two countries. Russia claimed that the number of troops sent by the Ukrainian army to Kharkov was 8 times that of the Russian army. The Russian army's evacuation was to preserve vitality and avoid unnecessary sacrifice.
Since the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the battlefield has been in a "one-sided" situation for a long time. There must be a reason why the Ukrainian army can complete a counterattack in such a situation and even begin to create pressure on the Russian border. Analysts believe that when , the Russian army had the advantage, made the mistake of "being careless and underestimating the enemy". In addition, the Russian army also made certain strategic mistakes. They did not grasp the hard-won advantages in the early stage, but instead adopted a multi-point battle to deal with Ukraine, creating an opportunity for the subsequent variables.
Ukraine has been constantly building momentum, shouting to regain Khelson , successfully attracting Russia's attention. When Russia increased its troops to Khelson's area, Ukraine quickly turned its fingers and threw a large number of troops into the eastern Ukraine area, catching the Russian army off guard.
Russian side's rare defeat is in sharp contrast to Ukraine's cheering "victory". Western media seized the opportunity and began to criticize Russia with the weapons of public opinion. So does the Russian army's "great retreat" really mean that Russia is approaching failure? Not exactly .
The Ukrainian army's counterattack progressed rapidly, but the Russian army could not sit still and wait for death. Moreover, the Russian army still occupied a large amount of Ukrainian territory and did not lose the opportunity. Chechnya leader Kadyrov said in a TV program that Chechnya has sent "10,000 reserve soldiers" to Donbas , and all cities lost by the Russian army in the direction of Kharkov will be recovered soon.
border is in emergency, and the Russian side will of course take corresponding measures to respond. It is essential to release the army. This means that the Ukrainian army's numerical advantage in the eastern Ukrainian area will be quickly weakened, and more variables may appear on the battlefield in the future. However, Russian military expert Litovkin believes that The retreat of the Russian army is a strategy. After all, sometimes "only one step back can we move forward better" .
Just as the Ukrainian army was cheering for victory, the Russian counterattack had already begun. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian army has launched a strike against the Ukrainian army at two settlements in Kharkiv Prefecture, killing 250 enemies in just one day.
Some people believe that the Russian army will show more military actions in the future to reverse the battlefield situation in the direction of Kharkov, and the military strength and weapon advantages that Ukraine relies on may not play a role for a long time.
The current failure of the Russian army will inevitably affect the overall military morale. In order to boost morale, the Russian side will definitely find a way to fight a beautiful "turnaround battle" in Kharkov, but the Ukrainian army will try every means to stop it. Therefore, the next bloody battle is probably inevitable. .
