As of now, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has been going on for 129 days. When carrying out the first phase of the mission, the Russian army divided its troops into multiple groups and attacked multiple areas of and in Ukraine. Due to the dispersion of troops, mechanized troops were mainly used for combat. As a result, they were held back by the Ukrainian army and suffered heavy casualties and losses. After the Battle of Azov Steel Plant, the Russian army immediately changed its tactics. They began to concentrate their forces and adopt encirclement tactics to defeat the Ukrainian army one by one. As a result, the Russian army quickly gained a dominant position.
In the second stage, Russia mainly used its air strategy to cooperate with ground combat troops and launched a fierce attack on the Ukrainian army. Currently, the Russian army has taken the initiative in the Donbas war zone. In the battle of Luhansk , only Lisichansk was not captured, and all other towns were controlled by the Russian army. On the other hand, the Ukrainian army has suffered one defeat after another. Currently, the main forces have retreated to Lisichansk, where another round of fighting has begun with the Russian army.
Currently, in order to quickly capture Lisichansk, the Russian army is encircling it in five groups. The bombers in the air carry cruise missiles, and cooperate with the artillery and tanks on the ground to attack the Ukrainian army's positions, arsenals, transportation arteries, The ammunition depot, , etc. carried out coverage strikes. Under fierce artillery fire, the Ukrainian army began to rout, and a large number of elite troops were annihilated. I believe that it will not be long before Lisichansk will become the possession of the Russian army.
The situation has developed to this point, and Russia has more and more advantages. Compared with the early stages of the conflict, Russia's attitude has also changed significantly. Russian President Putin spokesman Peskov publicly stated: Russia has no specific time plan for this special military operation. When will the goal be completed and when will the ceasefire be achieved? This means that it will fight to the end. In the past, Russia had repeatedly tried to negotiate a peace treaty with Ukraine, but now it seems that there is not much need.
Faced with Ukraine’s defeat, Zelensky has become a helpless man. NATO has not been idle either. While continuing to assist the Ukrainian army with a large number of advanced weapons and continuing to try to consume Russia's strength, it has also prepared for the worst. The number of NATO rapid reaction forces suddenly increased from 40,000 to 300,000. This is a sudden increase of 7 times, and the purpose is self-evident. And these forces are mainly deployed in countries around the Baltic Sea.
NATO’s move is because they are afraid that when Ukraine fails, Russian firepower will attack them, and the sudden increase in troops now can be considered a deterrent to Russia. NATO knows that under the current situation, Russia will not carry out multi-front combat lines. But you also need to prepare for the worst. Regarding the current situation, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has seen through the faces of the United States and the West. She said: This is no longer a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the world is facing three wars. If Ukraine gets more help, the war can end on Ukrainian territory.
