The Russian-Ukraine war has lasted for half a month. The Russian army's combat progress seems to be very slow. Even the Russian army's own war report admits that the competition in many places is like "advance 1 kilometer" and "advance 3 kilometers". Putin President just approved the dispatch of 16,000 international volunteers to the Ukrainian battlefield, which is also a response to the Ukrainian announcement that it would recruit 16,000 foreign volunteers to fight the Russian offensive.
Russia has begun to recruit Syrian Armed militias sent by Assad to Ukraine to participate in the war. These soldiers all have rich experience in city combat . According to reports from Syria, the Russian army recruited volunteers in the name of guard missions, which lasted for 6 months, with a monthly salary of about 200 to 300 US dollars.

Someone said that you can get what you want for hundreds of dollars a month? In fact, the income in Syria is not very high. The monthly salary of Syrian government soldiers is only US$80, and the monthly salary of Iranian militia in Syria is only US$300. It is reasonable for Russia to recruit soldiers in Syria to give two or three hundred dollars. China's income cannot be compared.
The reason why Russia recruits foreign volunteers may not want to make blood feud with Ukrainians in the cruel street battle in the future.
From the roadside vehicles, this should be a wealthy area in the suburbs of Kiev . I saw several Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars . The word "V" on the Russian military vehicle shows that they are a Russian army cluster heading south from the direction of Belarus , which is directly inserted into the northern Russian army in Kiev, Ukraine.
In addition, the Russian army may face serious shortage of personnel. According to the intelligence report of the US Department of Defense, the Russian army has put 90% of the troops originally deployed for Ukrainian operations into the Ukrainian battlefield in the past few days. It was estimated that the Russian army mobilized a total of 165,000 to 195,000 troops. With the strength of the air force and navy, the Russian army used almost one-third of its troops to fight against Ukraine.
These foreign volunteers can be responsible for defending logistics transportation lines, anti-guerrilla warfare, and doing some "dirty work" in urban combat, so that the Russian army can free up their hands to focus on annihilation of regular Ukrainian troops.
Since the Russian army's logistics supply line and support force are being lengthened, how to protect and strengthen the supply line from being sneak attacked has become a big problem. Ukraine currently has a large number of guerrilla groups running around behind the Russian front. Generally, it is a group of more than a dozen people. In addition to rifles and machine guns and , it is also equipped with a large number of anti-tank weapons, including the British NLAW anti-tank missiles, the German Iron Fist 3 anti-tank rocket, the RPG-7 anti-tank rocket, and the RPG26 bazooka.
These guerrilla warfare teams will cooperate with each other to attack the Russian army's logistics convoy, be responsible for reconnaissance and early warning and cover, be responsible for the front vehicle, be responsible for the tail, be responsible for the attack of armored targets, be responsible for the attack of vehicle targets, and be responsible for the close-range replenishment of guns. However, urban street fighting and guerrilla warfare can indeed delay, block or delay the Russian military's military's military operations, but it still cannot change the passive situation in Ukraine because the power balance between Russia and Ukraine is too obvious.
In addition, the combat materials of the guerrillas cannot be self-sufficiency. Without external support channels, guerrilla warfare is unsustainable, while the logistics supply of the Russian army is endless. What awaits the Ukrainian army is the fate of being eliminated one by one.
On March 11, the Ukrainian military just announced the latest battle report, which sounds like the dazzling record of the Battle of Moscow. At present, the Ukrainian army's offensive is full of tides and overwhelming. The Russian army fought repeatedly and rushed forward. With the foot pads, you can look at the red stars on the roof of the Kremlin .
Ukrainian army destroyed a total of 130 Russian aircraft (including 49 fixed-wing fighters and 81 helicopters), destroyed 335 tanks and 1105 armored vehicles , 526 military vehicles, 123 body-barred artillery, 56 multi-barrel rocket launchers , 29 field air defense systems, shot down 7 drones, sunk and injured 3 warships , and killed about 12,000 Russian troops.We don’t even believe in the above numbers.
However, the Russian army is indeed facing certain difficulties at present. The war lasted for more than ten days, and everyone always thought that Ukraine's Kharkov was very far away from the Russian-Ukrainian border. Now after looking at this picture, I realized that Kharkov, the second largest city in Ukraine, is only 50 kilometers away from the border. Samui is closer, only 20 kilometers away from the border. The Russian army still did not take these two important towns in eastern Ukraine.
Currently, Ukraine is also recruiting supporters to participate in the war. Ukraine said that the first special forces of the international legion directly under the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had been formed in Kiev, with about one thousand personnel.
Ukraine previously announced that it would organize an international volunteer army of 20,000 people to recruit volunteers from various countries to fight in Ukraine. Many veterans from the United States and Europe signed up to participate. By March 5, more than 2,000 volunteers had arrived in Ukraine across the Ubo border.
Since the Ukrainian civil war began 8 years ago, Ukraine has had a tradition of using the so-called "volunteer army". Especially the notorious "Azov" battalion in the Eastern Ukrainian Civil War, which was originally composed of Ukrainian nationalists who supported and participated, with pro-Nazi characteristics. Later it was incorporated by the Ukrainian military and upgraded to a special operations regiment (Battle Team).
Russia strongly opposes this and issues a harsh warning to not recognize the military status of these so-called "international legions" and the military status of these international volunteers. This means that if volunteers are captured on the battlefield, they will not be treated as prisoners of war and will be shot for espionage and armed rebellion.
Putin may have been tricked by Shoigu and Grasimov . Or under Putin's fatherly authority and sacred aura, no one dares to raise objections. The Ukrainian army's combat capability and will to resist were seriously underestimated, and the Russian army's actual combat effectiveness was overestimated. There are also great misjudgments on Ukraine's overall national mentality.
The Russian army even unexpectedly did not encounter the scene of a king's army in the Russian-speaking area of Ukraine. Instead, they received the grenade , which was quite embarrassing. Because the war was a bit unsuccessful after the war started, the Russian army ceased fire several times, and the current attack in eastern Ukraine has also relaxed firepower restrictions and launched a fierce bombardment. The Russian army will soon have a large-scale fierce attack to suppress the next talks.
Some optimistic people believe that Ukraine will eventually become "Afghanized", with guerrillas everywhere, and the Russian army cannot bear the harassment. I feel that Ukraine will eventually become "Syriatic", the Ukrainian military's military strength will be wiped out by most, resistance will gradually fade, and the country will be ruined. The Russian army was covered in wounds and won a miserable victory.
