The four states in eastern Wu and eastern Wu entered Russia. Putin was happy and blossomed
It turned out that the whole world was deceived. Putin has achieved his goal since the four eastern prefectures of Wudong and entered Russia. I guess Putin wakes up when he sleeps with laughter! Why do
say so?
First, let’s take a look at Putin’s goals before the “special military operation” against Ukraine, including Ukraine permanently neutral, non-aligned, and not joining any military group. Ukraine recognizes that Crimea belongs to Russia and Donbass independence; Ukraine demilitarizes and deNazizes; the Russian army completely "liberates" Donbass.
Comparing the current performance of the Russian army on the battlefield, since the beginning of the war between Russia and Ukraine, after controlling the four eastern Ukraine prefectures at all costs, it seems that the Russian army has not continued to advance, but has "strategic retreat." It is not because the Russian army lacks enough personnel, lacks weapons, and improper command. It is because the outside world wishes to believe that Putin's "special military operation" is to occupy Ukraine. In fact, Putin's small plan is to take over the four states in the east of Ukraine.
The total area of the four eastern prefectures in Ukraine is 108,600 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the land area of a South Korea, accounting for almost 1/6 of Ukraine's territory. The total population is about 10.34 million, accounting for about 1/4 of the total population of Ukraine, equivalent to the number of Sweden . This is an unbearable loss for Ukraine.
Only looking at territory and population is not the most important thing. The loss of Ukraine's four eastern prefectures will be a fatal economic blow, which will make Ukraine, which is not wealthy, worsen. Because the four eastern prefectures are the richest and most developed regions in Ukraine.
Luhansk was one of the important industrial areas in Ukraine during the Soviet period. It has developed coal, steel, machinery and chemical industries. It was one of the earliest regions to complete industrialization in Ukraine, and its industrial output value accounts for 20% of the country.
The population of Donesque Prefecture exceeds 1/10 of the country, and the urbanization rate exceeds 90%, making it the most developed region in Ukraine. It is also the first special economic zone after Ukraine's independence and its industrial output value accounts for 30% of the country. The most famous and even the largest Azov Steel Plant in the entire European region and captured by the Russian army at any cost is here.
The total coal reserves in these two states exceed 240 billion tons, making it the largest coal production base in Europe.
Zabroje Oblast is the electricity center of Ukraine. Zabrother Thermal Power Plant is here, which supplies at least 1/4 of Ukraine's national electricity demand.
Khlsong Oblast is Ukraine's granary and one of the largest grain exporters in Europe.
From the above data, it can be seen that Putin's acquisition of the four prefectures in Ukraine is equivalent to having already controlled the lifeline of Ukraine. It is no longer necessary to spend manpower and material resources to occupy the entire Ukraine.
