The 2022 Group of Seven Leaders' Summit (G7) was held as scheduled. Although the topics of the meeting covered the climate crisis and the impact of the epidemic, the situation between Russia and Ukraine unsurprisingly became the focus of the meeting.
Referring to the Western media's overwhelming campaign before the meeting, Biden will further call on Western countries to put pressure on Russia. The United Kingdom has stated that it will increase its assistance to Ukraine. Some other Western countries have also stated that they will increase their support for Ukraine. support.
For Russia, this G7 summit will introduce many decisions that are unfavorable to itself, which will undoubtedly be the "last straw" for Ukraine. However, Russia did not sit still and chose to take the initiative this time. Just the day before the G7 summit, according to Ukrainian news, about 14 missiles attacked targets in Kiev and Kiev Oblast. For a while, the finger was pointed directly at the Russian army, and the outside world speculated that this was a strong military warning from Russia.
Britain and the United States have successively called for continued intensification of sanctions against Russia. The European Union plans to provide 9 billion euros of financial support to Ukraine. Without these Western countries behind it, Ukraine would not have been able to persist at this stage under the strong offensive of the Russian army. .
Russia is determined to win the Donbass region. It has invested at least 300,000 troops in the Donbass region. It can be seen that Russia is determined to defeat the Ukrainian army here and ultimately achieve the strategic goal of special military operations. After more than a month of fierce offensive by the Russian army, the Ukrainian army has abandoned Severodonetsk and the Russian flag has been raised over Severodonetsk. According to media sources, the Russian army is now pursuing victory and has surrounded Lischichansk, another important military town. According to the current situation, the Russian army's capture of Lugansk "last city" Lisichansk is just around the corner.
For Russia, if it wants to capture the entire Donbas region, there cannot be any surprises. Among them, Russia has to predict in advance what changes will be brought to the situation between Russia and Ukraine after the G7 summit.
In this case, Russia can only strike first and let the West see Russia's determination to complete the special military operation mission. According to media reports, the Russian army not only launched attacks on Kiev Oblast, but some sources pointed out that it launched bombings throughout Ukraine.
According to Reuters reported on June 25 that Russian missiles bombed most of the northern, western, and southern parts of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Guven Mykhaylo Podolak claimed that the Russian army has significantly increased the intensity and scope of its attacks. He even reluctantly stated that the entire territory of Ukraine is within the range of Russian attacks.
Some Western media deliberately exaggerated that Russian missiles caused damage to some civilian buildings, but the Russian military immediately retorted that it only attacked military targets in Ukraine. Just like the explosions in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, it was only the Russian army using missiles to attack Ukrainian military targets nearby.
To a certain extent, where the Russian missiles want to bomb depends on the needs of the Russian military's combat objectives. Ukraine is unable to change the situation, and Western countries are unable to fundamentally reverse the situation. What makes Russia angry is that the West is fanning the flames behind the scenes, trying to inflict severe economic damage on Russia, and even threaten Russian territory. For example, Lithuania blocking the Russian enclave Kaliningrad (state) has seriously threatened Russia's territorial security, which is absolutely not allowed for Russia.
Since Western countries want to continue to save the dying Ukraine, the Russian army must show its determination to completely destroy Ukraine. Therefore, large-scale bombing was carried out the day before the G7 summit to provide the greatest psychological deterrent.
Russia’s warning has been very obvious. No matter how much Western aid is provided to Ukraine, the Russian military is determined to complete the special military operation mission at all costs. At the same time, judging from the current consumption of Ukrainian ammunition, Western arms aid to Ukraine have seriously failed to keep up with the pace of consumption.
However, the weapons and equipment provided by the West to Ukraine have caused huge trouble to the Russian army. For example, the Seamaster rocket launcher that Ukraine obtained from the United States has caused a huge blow to Russian military targets. However, the Russian army's retaliation will soon come, and the Russian army's bombing of western, northern, and southern Ukraine has a hint of revenge. If the Kiev authorities still pin their hopes on Western weapons and equipment to win the war, the final result may not be what they want.
Some views of Longyan Observation Bureau:
1. Russia has repeatedly warned the West that military assistance from Western countries will only deepen the suffering of the Ukrainian people. Ukraine also entertains itself, thinking that the West is fully supporting Ukraine.
I don’t know if you have noticed that the weapons and equipment provided by the West to assist Ukraine basically have a range limit, making it difficult for these weapons to hit the Russian military strategically in depth. As a result, Ukraine's use of these weapons to counterattack can only inflict pain on the Russian army, but it can also restrain the pace of the Russian army's actions to a certain extent.
In this way, these Western countries have basically put Ukraine in a state of "death or death", allowing Ukraine to avoid being defeated by the Russian army, but they cannot assist the Ukrainian army to completely drive away the Russian army. The advantage of the West in doing this is that it can save Ukraine's "half-life", and then let the Ukrainian army and the Russian army fight to the death, and ultimately plunge Russia into the quagmire of war.
2. Russia’s large-scale bombing before the G7 summit can, on the one hand, warn Western countries to think twice about aiding Ukraine. The Russian army has carried out bombings throughout Ukraine, showing that it has the ability to end the war at any time. Russia is warning the West that no matter how much equipment it provides, it will be in vain.
At the same time, Russia’s move is also a warning to Ukraine to stop trying to win the war with Western weapons. As long as Russia deems it necessary, the Russian military can attack the decision-making center in Kiev at any time.
