Last Saturday, Severo Donetsk was completely captured by the Russian army. After the Ukrainian army was defeated, they surrendered and the remaining remnants of the army had completed their evacuation mission. After more than a month of fierce fighting, only Lisichansk was left guarded by Ukrainian troops in the Luhansk region. As long as the Russian army captures this city, it will mean the end of the Battle of Luhansk, so the Battle of Sichansk will be the final battle of Luhansk. The battle has already begun, and the fires are raging everywhere.
Since the end of the Azov Steel Plant battle, the Russian army has changed its tactics and strategy. Adopting a steady and steady approach to advance, although the attack was slow, the results were gratifying. Many places were successively occupied by the Russian army, and at the same time, the strength of the Ukrainian army was severely damaged. At present, some places in Lischichansk have been captured by the Russian army, while the Ukrainian army is constantly covered by artillery fire, surrounded and annihilated by the Russian army.
According to news released by Russian media, the Russian army is currently attacking the Ukrainian army in multiple directions at the same time. The commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces, Sergei Sulovkin, said that he led the Southern Army and has severely damaged the main force of the Ukrainian army. Most of the Ukrainian army has been attacked. The army was annihilated by him. There are currently 4 battalions in its encirclement, with no less than 2,000 soldiers inside. A local person in Lugansk said that a large number of Ukrainian troops were annihilated. More than 4,000 Ukrainian troops were surrounded and annihilated here, and hundreds of them surrendered to the Russian army.
It can be seen from this that the Russian army used the dumpling-making tactic in this operation and achieved huge gains in a short period of time. I believe that it won’t be long before Lisichansk will be controlled by the Russian army, and the entire Lugansk will also be dominated by Russia. This also means that the second phase of the Russian army's mission is about to be completed. This also shows that Putin has achieved 4 major victories.
First: The main force of the Ukrainian army was eliminated and the task of "demilitarization" was achieved. You know, today's conflict between Russia and Ukraine was caused by the continuous eastward expansion of and NATO . In order to consume Russia's power, the United States and NATO continue to provide arms to Ukraine . Now that the main force of the Ukrainian army has almost been defeated, there are still some new recruits and militiamen left. No matter how good the weapons are, they will not be effective.
Second: With the Luhansk region captured, Russia has the initiative on the battlefield. In the early stages of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian army did not progress smoothly. With the assistance of the United States and the West, the Russian army suffered multiple counterattacks by the Ukrainian army, causing huge losses and damaging morale. After winning the battle of the Azov Steel Plant, the Russian army adjusted its tactics and adopted the method of making dumplings to defeat the Ukrainian army's defense one by one and successfully took control of many places. In this way, the battle of Lugansk is about to reach its finale, which means that Russia has regained the initiative.
Third: After this battle, Russia will have a stronger voice in the world. We know that the Russia-Ukraine conflict appears to be a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In fact, with the intervention of the United States and the West, it has long since become a conflict between Russia and the United States and the West. In this way, the Russian army will achieve results in Luhansk, rely on the ruble settlement order economically, and also defeat the energy sanctions imposed by the West and the European Union. Therefore, regardless of whether Russia and Ukraine can return to the negotiating table, Russia is the party with the advantage.
Fourth: Winning the second phase of the task laid the foundation for the victory of the third phase of the task. At present, there is not much suspense that the Russian army will capture Donbass . When the third phase of the mission begins, the Russian army can target Dnipro, or Kharkiv and other places. The specific ones to be fought will be decided by Russia has the final say. The situation on the battlefield is irreversible. Therefore, if Ukraine wants to negotiate, it must hurry up.
