A few days ago, the bombing of the Crimea Bridge caused widespread heated discussions in the international community. In this regard, Putin determined that the attack on the bridge was a "terrorist attack", which means that Russia's next actions will inevitably escalate. The finger is pointed at the Ukrainian intelligence department. The central brain of this department is in Kiev , which means that Kiev may be included in the target of attack, especially the intelligence department buildings and related personnel. At the same time, the attack is defined as terrorism, which means that Russia's retaliation is of "counter-terrorism" nature.
Just after Putin announced the identification of the explosion on the Crimea Bridge as a "terrorist attack", the Russian army launched a large-scale bombing on Ukraine. Several cities including Kiev, Dnipro, Odessa and Kharkov were launched in total. The air strike targets are no longer limited to military targets, but also include some critical infrastructure, such as bridges, power plants and railway stations, and some decision-making centers in Ukraine, such as the office building of the National Security Agency of Ukraine.
Starting from the morning of the 10th, the Russian army launched multiple missiles to eight states in Ukraine. Although Ukraine claimed that there were 75, 41 were intercepted. However, in terms of the strike effect, the number of missiles is obviously more than 75. After various news, the Russian army launched a total of hundreds of missiles in one day and dispatched the Tu-95 strategic bomber. At present, 10 people have been killed and at least 60 injured.
In Ukraine, after being bombed by the Russian army, Zelensky asked the West for help as soon as possible. As of now, Zelensky has conducted emergency communication with the leaders of Germany, France and Qatar , and agreed to hold an emergency meeting of G7 leaders, and Zelensky will speak at the meeting. This has always been Zelensky's style of doing things. As long as the situation is unfavorable, he will start to speak harshly and ask the West to increase support.
It is worth mentioning that when the Kerch Bridge in Crimea was attacked by terrorist attacks, all walks of life in Ukraine were in full swing. A day ago, many citizens of Kiev lined up to take photos on the background board of the "Explosion of the Crimea Bridge" in front of the city hall. As a result, Kiev was counterattacked by the Russian army a day later. There is an idiom in China that can perfectly describe their mood at this moment, that is, "extreme happiness leads to sorrow."
This attack not only avenged the attack on Crimea Bridge , but also had a significant impact on European countries, because the energy infrastructure of the western city Lviv and many cities were damaged, while Ukraine has been providing electricity to European countries. After the facilities were damaged, European countries that suffered from the energy crisis have further worsened.
In this regard, Zelensky posted on social media that the Russian side attempted to "erase" Ukraine from the earth, "they eliminated the people who were sleeping at home in Zaporoje, and killed the people who went to work in Dnipro and Kiev, but they must continue to be strong. After the
air strikes ended, Russian President Putin said that the Russian army used high-precision weapons to carry out large-scale strikes on Ukraine's infrastructure. This air strike was a response to Ukraine's attack on Russia's critical infrastructure. At the same time, he also drew a red line for Ukraine. If Ukraine continues to carry out "terrorist attacks" on important infrastructure in Russian territory, Russia will make a tougher response.
Since the Crimea Bridge was bombed to Ukraine being attacked by missiles, a series of actions by Russia have demonstrated Putin's political wisdom. The first step is to establish a government committee to investigate the incident; the second step is to characterize the attack and identify the Ukrainian attack as a "terrorist attack", laying the groundwork for the subsequent military operations; the third step is to launch a fierce strike on Ukraine, catching Ukraine off guard.
Now not only Ukraine has been beaten to the point of being frustrated, but Western countries are also speechless. If they support Ukraine at this time, they are supporting "terrorism". This time Ukraine can only be knocked out and swallowed into their stomachs. From this, it can be seen that Zelensky's strategic capabilities and political means are simply incomparable to Putin.
Next, what Ukraine should consider is, is Russia's retaliation ended? The "lifeline" in the western part of Ukraine and the important transportation facilities that Ukraine can use now are the facilities that Ukraine should protect the most, but the Russian army is also aware of this and believes that the "combat nation" will not give up. Let us wait and see.
