This international comment, Uncle Mu will analyze the latest situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
On October 1 local time, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense announced that Ukrainian troops are entering Liman, an important military and transportation hub in the North Donetsk region. According to videos released by the Ukrainian military, they not only put the Ukrainian flag at the entrance of Liman, but also threw down the Russian flag on the government building of Liman and replaced it with the Ukrainian flag.
A few hours later, Russian Ministry of Defense issued a statement saying that the Russian army had withdrawn from Liman and retreated to a "more favorable position." But the Russian army did not disclose where to withdraw.
Mu Mu noticed that some media analysts believe that Liman has been treated as a logistics stronghold for the Russian army to support operations in the Donbas area for several months, so Liman's loss is another major setback for Russia after the Kharkiv area was recovered by Ukraine a month ago. What is more serious is the symbolic meaning -
Just the day before the Russian army lost in Liman and announced its retreat, Russian President Putin and all senior government officials gathered at Kremlin and signed a massive document to annex the four regions of eastern and southern Ukraine. And these annexed areas include Liman.
In other words, Liman is actually the first area to be liberated by Ukrainian troops after Russia announced a referendum annexation of the occupied Ukrainian territory. And he was successfully counterattacked by the Ukrainian army just one day after being "annexed on paper". This is indeed too disrespectful to Putin and the Russian government.
There is another problem that is more realistic:
Russian officials have repeatedly threatened that the Ukrainian army can use nuclear weapon when attacking Russia's mainland. This is regarded as a "red line" drawn by Russia. As a region that has just been included in the Russian territory, Liman actually enjoys this "right" and this city is indeed within the "red line".
But Ukrainians simply disdained the "red line", and the Liman Battle clearly explained this.
So in the future will Russia use nuclear weapons against the Ukrainian army that attacked Liman? This is the highlight of the next Russian-Ukrainian war. After all, after Liman was recaptured by Ukraine, similar voices were already flooded with Russian social media, which could put huge pressure on the Kremlin's decision-making.
In fact, Uncle Mu noticed that -
A week before Russia announced the annexation of four Ukraine regions, the Ukrainian army had already laid out around Liman, and began to tighten the encirclement against Liman step by step. Finally, a larger battle was launched on the second day of the annexation, driving the Russian army out of Liman.
This shows that the war situation on the front line will not change at all because of the annexation of territory. The Ukrainian army is still implementing the counterattack order step by step.
This is also in line with the judgment of Uncle Mu in the past, that is, the so-called referendum and annexation plan. In fact, the greater function is to give an explanation within Russia. After all, the lives of ordinary people have been under great pressure from Western sanctions for 7 months, and they need some comfort and psychological satisfaction. The referendum and annexation are the aids for them to better support the Russian army and be mobilized to participate in the war.
Uncle Mu also learned that -
On the same day when the Russian army lost, there was also a problem with Crimea , which Russia had occupied for 8 years. Black Sea Fleet home port military airport in Sevastopol area. There is news that a military plane crashes, but the situation is unknown. But all these show that the areas annexed after the referendum are definitely not safe harbors, and the Russian-Ukrainian war will definitely affect this place.
