Russia and Ukraine have been fighting fiercely for 128 days. With the lessons learned from the first phase of the mission, the Russian army made very smooth progress when launching the second phase of the mission. All attacks were in an orderly manner. Although the advance was slow, they occupied more and more territory. The attack on the Ukrainian army has become more and more powerful, and its own losses have been minimized. In this way, the Russian army has always been in a dominant position, suppressing the Ukrainian army and achieving fruitful results. On Saturday, they even took control of Severodonetsk. The Ukrainian army was defeated and had to retreat to Lixichansk to survive.
Now the Russian army is pursuing victory. It not only pursues the Ukrainian army on its retreat road, but also surrounds Lischichansk from multiple directions. At present, the Russian army has occupied many places. Looking at the Uzbek army again, they lost their troops and generals. 80% of the regular troops were defeated, and the rest were basically recruits and militia groups, with very poor combat effectiveness. In terms of weapons and equipment, most of them were destroyed by the Russian army, so Zelensky continued to appeal to the West for help.
Of course, the United States and the West did not want to see Russia end the conflict so smoothly, so they immediately sent howitzers , anti-ship missiles , rocket launcher systems, drones and other advanced equipment to the Ukrainian army. With the support of advanced weapons, Zelenskiy felt more confident to speak, and immediately announced that he would counterattack and take back all the lost territory. But these are just words, just for show to the West.
Since the fighting for more than four months, the Ukrainian army has been retreating and losing ground one after another. Now that we have run out of ammunition and food, and only the remnants of the main force are left. Recently, even women have been mobilized to fight on the battlefield. What should we take back? Is it a shovel? In fact, the West has seen the Ukrainian army's successive defeats, and many Western countries have begun to express different voices, with many suggesting that Zelensky should just "cede territory and seek peace." At first, Uzbekistan was very angry when hearing such remarks. Now the attitude in this regard has changed drastically.
Uzbek Foreign Minister Kuleba publicly stated that the territorial issue can still be discussed. Uzbek Presidential Advisor Igor Zovkova also stated that Uzbekistan will not join NATO , but hopes to gain a certain right to speak and hopes that NATO will recognize it. Ukraine plays the role of "the cornerstone of European security". What does this mean? First of all, regarding the territorial issue, Ukraine can accept the border demarcation before the conflict broke out, giving up the Crimea and Donbas regions and recognizing the independence of these two places.
And before the conflict, I had always been obsessed with the idea of joining NATO, but now I have seen through it. But I still hope to get help from NATO, and hope that NATO will realize the importance of Ukraine , because it is Ukraine that has been helping Europe to block Russia. Therefore, Ukraine should also have a certain say in front of NATO. However, we can only say that Ukraine is still blind to the West. In the eyes of the West, Ukraine is just a pawn and cannon fodder. Once it has no use value, it can be abandoned at any time.
But what will happen to Russia's change in attitude towards Ukraine? You know, the war has been burning for more than four months, and Russia has completed the tasks in the first two stages. Currently preparing for the third phase of the mission. Moreover, the Russian army occupies more and more territory of Ukraine. It has to be said that as the situation progresses, Russia's appetite has grown. Now as long as the Russian army takes over the coastal areas of southeastern Ukraine, Ukraine will really become a landlocked country.
I have to say that it is too late for Uzbekistan’s attitude to change. Of course, if Ukraine does not continue ceasefire negotiations, I am afraid that it will lose more territory in the future. It is also possible that and Kiev will be bulldozed. By then, the territory will be greatly changed, and it is unknown whether Ukraine will still be there.
