Before we knew it, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has lasted for more than 9 months. In more than half a month, 2023 will enter, but it can be foreseeable that the conflict between will not come to an end.
There are three more things worth noting about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
The first thing is that an American woman died in the Ukrainian battlefield, and Putin has already said it first. Ukrainian MP Valeria said that an American mercenary died in Donbas . This person was a medical staff member of the Ukrainian army and rushed from the United States to Ukraine.
Valeria revealed that the American woman died in Bachmut and was named Rebecca.
htmlOn 12, a US reporter asked US State Department spokesman Price, "How do you view Rebecca's death while participating in the battle in Ukraine?" Price refused to express his attitude on the matter. Price said the incident has not been confirmed.In fact, tragedy , similar to "American mercenaries died in the battlefield in Ukraine", has happened a lot in the past few months. The mercenaries who went to Ukraine to participate in the war have been attacked by the Russian army. Even Gaston, the founder of the Ukrainian "International Legion" and the title of "King of French Mercenaries", was not spared. Gaston eventually died after being seriously injured in Ukraine.

Previously, whenever Ukraine heard bad news that "American mercenaries were killed by Russian troops", the United States would issue a warning, which was to call on American citizens not to go to Ukraine at this time. The United States believes that American citizens who are still in Ukraine and have not yet evacuated should find an opportunity to leave Ukraine immediately.
Japanese mercenaries were also killed in the Ukrainian battlefield. After learned the bad news, Japan's reaction was exactly the same as that of the United States.
Many of the mercenaries who set out from the United States and Japan to fight in Ukraine despite their advice were to take the opportunity to gain profits, and of course, some were to support Ukraine. However, these mercenaries seem to ignore one thing-the Russian army is not a scattered soldier, and Putin will not be ruthless to the mercenaries who pick up weapons.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia issued an ultimatum to the mercenaries, and Russia asked the mercenaries who "fight for Ukraine" to leave Ukraine immediately, otherwise the Russian army would never show mercy. Under the Russian bombing, thousands of mercenaries have died in Ukraine, and thousands have chosen to return the same route. This means that the mercenaries who are still fighting with the Russian army in Ukraine are armed forces who are determined to fight against the Russian army to the end, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
Still the same thing, shells are blind. The result of hiring mercenaries to the Ukrainian battlefield is likely to be "the benefits were not obtained, but they paid the price of their lives." The moment when the missile fell from the sky, it was too late for these mercenaries to regret it.
In one sentence, there is nothing more suitable to describe Rebecca's ending than "If I had known today, why should I have been there?"
The second thing is that Russia gives Japan a warning. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Japan joined the anti-Russian camp led by the United States. It can be said that it is tough on Russia, and it is used economic sanctions , diplomatic isolation, and timely help for Ukraine... All the tricks that can be used have been used.
In addition, Japan has not forgotten to make harsh words to Putin, saying that Japan will sooner or later regain South Kuril Islands , which makes Russia very angry.
To warn Japan, Putin chose to draw his sword.
On December 14, the Russian Ministry of Defense stated that two Russian Tu-95 bombers have completed military missions to fly over the Japanese Sea, with a period of more than 7 hours.
In the past few months, the Russian fleet has held "free navigation" at the doorstep of Japan's homes. Russian fighter jets and bomber appeared over the Japanese Sea, which is nothing new. In order to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, the Russian army also held military exercises in the South Kuril Islands.
Putin's signal is clear: if Japan is obsessed with it and insists on taking the opportunity to seize the Southern Kuril Islands belonging to Russia, what is waiting for Japan will inevitably be the revenge of the Russian army.
Putin knows very well that is sometimes more effective in dealing with Japan, "directly drawing the sword" is sometimes more effective than "indirect pressure". is kind to persuade, but often does not return to Japan's concessions.
: Japan should have a headache when it encounters such a tough bone in Russia.
The third thing is, Belarus has new actions. Lukashenko decided to raid the Belarusian army's combat readiness status. In addition, Lukashenko also deployed Belarusian special forces to the doorstep of Ukraine's home.
Belarus' series of actions may be to warn NATO not to act rashly, or to retaliate against Ukraine, because Ukraine has also deployed troops on the Belarusian border. From beginning to end, Ukraine never forgot to beware of Belarus.
The international situation has affected the whole body, and If Belarus is involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, NATO member states are likely to intervene directly. In order not to cause trouble, NATO may settle for the second best and retaliate against Russia by targeting Belarus.
The cold winter has arrived, but the smell of gunpowder between Russia and Ukraine is full of fire, and it can be seen that this winter, new variables will appear in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Let’s see how Putin takes action next.
