war has been going on for 4 months. Under the Russian army's key combat offensive, it has fought steadily and achieved significant results. The battle in eastern Ukraine is coming to an end. At this point in the war, in addition to the United States, it also insists on providing Ukraine In addition to military assistance, many Western countries have taken advantage of the situation, and their aid to Ukraine has begun to gradually slow down. However, recently, after receiving a batch of weapons from the West, the Ukrainian army actually announced that it would launch a counterattack against the Russian army.
According to Global Network , Ukrainian officials called on residents of the Russian-controlled areas in southern Ukraine to evacuate immediately and prepare for "another fierce battle" because the Ukrainian army is likely to launch a counterattack.
So where does this Ukrainian official get his confidence? It turns out that it was because military aid from Western countries was being cashed in one after another, and a large number of weapons and ammunition were continuously delivered to Ukraine, including seven German 155mm PzH2000 self-propelled howitzers, and the Ukrainian troops who received training have returned to Ukraine. At the same time as this batch of weapons arrived, there was also a batch of defensive equipment such as bullets, artillery shells, grenades, and helmets. In addition, Western countries such as the Netherlands, France, and Slovakia have promised to provide Ukraine with a variety of weapons and equipment.
No wonder the Ukrainian government suddenly gained confidence after changing its previous sluggish state. It turns out that Western weapons have arrived again. It's just that this new batch of weapons has many varieties and varieties, but the quantity is really too small. For example, Germany's PzH2000 self-propelled howitzer has good performance, a fast rate of fire, high hit accuracy, and is quite flexible to deploy, but the problem is that there are only 7 guns. What you need to know is that the opponent the Ukrainian army faces on the battlefield today is not the army of a small country, but the huge Russian army. In a battle with Russia, the world's top military power, it is difficult to imagine what use a few cannons can do. At most, they can keep the Ukrainian army on the front line alive.
After receiving this little "charity" from the West, the Ukrainian government acted as if it had received a treasure. The current state of the Ukrainian government reflects the fact that the Ukrainian army is already stretched thin in replenishing weapons and ammunition. Not long ago, Vadim Skibitsky, the deputy head of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, complained publicly in front of the media, saying that Russia and Ukraine are now focusing on artillery wars, and "our artillery is losing its advantage." Often, one Ukrainian artillery piece faces 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces, and the battle situation is quite unfavorable. He also pointed out that Ukraine is "losing to Russia" on the Donbass front line because the Ukrainian army's inventory of ammunition has been exhausted and it now relies almost entirely on weapons provided by the West to contain the Russian army.
On the battlefield in eastern Ukraine, the Ukrainian army is almost in despair. Now it is just struggling to support itself. Any external assistance will only be a drop in the bucket. However, the Ukrainian government made bold statements and threatened to "counterattack" the Russian army. It was obvious that it was too carried away. One has to suspect that the Zelensky government is engaging in a war of words to cheer up frontline officers and soldiers.
Although aid from the West has arrived, there is only a small amount of heavy equipment. This also reflects the West's love for Ukraine's war situation. The West does not see hope that Ukraine can come back, and is only under pressure from the United States. Assistance action below. Just imagine: If the West is really determined to place its bets on Ukraine, will it only support a few artillery pieces? At the same time, it can also be expected that after this batch of weapons is delivered to Ukraine, the next batch of aid may not arrive so quickly. In fact, recently, the major countries in the European Union, including France, Germany, and Italy, are basically "promoting talks" and hope that Ukraine and Russia will come to the negotiating table.
In any case, when it comes to the Ukrainian army launching a counterattack, it is like fantasy. In the battle in the Donbass region, the main force of the Ukrainian army is in danger of being annihilated at any time. The "counteroffensive" in the Ukrainian government's mouth is so serious that it is estimated that the United States, Europe and the West will not believe it, maybe even the Ukrainian military officers and soldiers will not believe it. As for Russia, they will only listen to this as a joke.
Ukraine’s rhetoric actually reflects a serious fact. To win a foreign war, one must have one's own internal strength, not just rely on external aid.In the history of war, there has never been an example of a war being won solely by relying on foreign aid.
