I thought Russia was bad enough yesterday, but I didn’t expect that there were even more dangerous things waiting for Russia.
This On Saturday, relevant Ukrainian officials said that after Russia retreated, Ukraine had invaded Ijium , and there were a large number of weapons and equipment abandoned by the Russian army in the city.
On September 10th local time, Russian Ministry of Defense issued a statement saying that the Russian army has taken three days to retreat in Ijium's troops to Donetsk .
But whether it is a tactical retreat or a forced retreat is different.
Russia said that the retreat was to achieve the established goals and strengthen the offensive intensity in the Donetsk region.
and the Russian Ministry of Defense also claimed to use rocket launchers to strike the Ukrainian army during the retreat, causing casualties to 2,000 of its soldiers.
, while Ukraine gave different explanations. They believed that it was the Ukrainian army's large-scale fierce counterattack in Kharkov that forced Russia to withdraw from Ijium.
In order to show its strength, Ukraine also uploaded a video of Russian prisoners being tied up on Ijum Street.
It can be said that Russia and Ukraine have a fierce debate over how to withdraw Ijium. What can be basically confirmed now is that the Russian army has indeed lost Ijium, an important city in northern Ukraine.
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Ijium has been under Russia's control for 5 months. No matter how Ijium is lost, this is enough to illustrate some problems.
Let’s briefly talk about the author’s views.
First point, Ukraine’s counterattack is not a big deal. Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine has been clamoring for a counterattack, but it has been thunder and raining.
From June to July, it was postponed to August, so people have been mocking Ukraine during this period, thinking that Ukraine is difficult to launch a counterattack.
But what most people expect is that Ukraine really launched this belated counterattack in September. Since September, Ukraine has assembled a large number of troops in the Kharkiv region.
According to statistics, under the cover of artillery , four mechanized infantry brigades launched a fierce counterattack in northern Ukraine. From the 8th to the current recovery of Ijium, Ukraine has surprised the world.
The second point is that Wunan counterattack may be a smoke bomb. According to the Russian army's dispatch, an important factor in the Russian army's abandonment of Ijum is that a large number of Russian troops have been transferred to the south.
Indeed, Ukraine has been exaggerating counterattack plans in the southern region, from Zaporo thermonuclear power plant to Crimea Bridge , from catching spies to destroying transportation, it looks like a counterattack.
As a result, Russia and Ukraine unexpectedly launched a counterattack in the north and achieved considerable results. In this way, Ukraine's actions in the south can indeed be called a smoke bomb.
Third point, the recent situation of the Russian army is elusive. The reason why Russia's recent situation is elusive is due to the following two considerations:
On the one hand, Russia's recent status is worrying. On the battlefield, the Russian army can be said to have gone from being unstoppable to being stalemate to being defeated now, which has definitely had a great blow to Russia's morale.
Outside the battlefield, Putin announced the expansion of the army indirectly confirms that Russia's military strength is indeed short of strength, and Chechnya 's resignation of the leader Kadyrov will also cause certain troubles to the stability of the Russian army.
On the other hand, Russia still takes the initiative. Although Russia retreated this time, judging from previous battle examples, Russia has made such a decision.
Where the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out, Russia blitzed into the suburbs of Kiev, but in the end it also chose to withdraw its troops, just to concentrate its efforts to attack the Donbas area, and the results of the battle were also significant. At least Luhansk has been completely controlled by Russia.
So is it possible for Russia to reuse the same trick this time? And from the map, Ukraine's counterattack has formed a trend of going deeper and deeper in the army. Will Russia make a fuss about this? Everything is hard to say.
In short, Russia must be cheered up. Ukraine cannot be underestimated with the support of Western military aid, so some of the Russian military's techniques and tactics may need to be changed. Trial and error can be done once, but if there are too many, there may be serious consequences.
What actions will Ukraine take after achieving the success of this battle? Worth our attention.
