war, there are three points that require my attention today. First, the Ukrainian Southern Command issued a statement stating that after the Ukrainian armed forces launched a military attack on the leader, the Russian troops will withdraw from Snake Island . Ukrainian President Zelenskiy confirmed in a video speech that day that the Russian troops had withdrawn from Snake Island, but he said he was not sure whether the Russian troops would return. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Southern Command said that although the Russian troops had withdrawn from Snake Island, the It was too early for the island to establish an outpost there.
Everyone can see that Snake Island has limited secrets. It is a small island made entirely of rocks. There is no cloud on the ground to cover the hidden natural defenses. The topographic platform of Snake Island lacks cover, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend. Therefore, Snake Island is easy to attack and difficult to defend. It is difficult for the defenders to hide. Once attacked by an external attack, the survival rate is very low. This is a key factor for the Russian army to withdraw from Snake Island, and it is also the reason why the Ukrainian army did not land on the island.
It is worth noting that Snake Island Located about 32km south of the Ulan coast, it is also very close to NATO member Romania . One of the main ways to transport weapons to the west Ukraine , even through land and sea transportation through Romania, is for the Russian army. Controlling Snake Island can cut off this channel. Strategically speaking, Snake Island is the air defense zone of Crimea. Budanov, director of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, once said that whoever controls Snake Island can control southern Ukraine. surface, and to a certain extent control the air situation in southern Ukraine.
Snake Island's economic status is also very important. Controlling this island will prevent Ukraine from exporting food from the large southern port Odessa . Moreover, the Black Sea area where Snake Island is located is also rich in oil and natural gas resources. These factors led to a fierce battle for Snake Island between the two sides, and smoke was everywhere in the military and public opinion. But now the Russian army has left the outpost for several months on the grounds of food relations.
When Shedao announced its withdrawal, it made it clear to the Ministry of National Defense that it would not make a fuss about the food crisis for Kiev . At the same time, Russia also threw the ball into the hands of Ukraine. Now we need to pay attention to the inconvenience of Ukraine's actions, including near its ports. waters, but can the two sides really reach an agreement to open warehouses and release grain? What consequences will this important role of the Russian army have? Whether it will set off a new wave of public opinion is still unknown.
Second, the NATO summit came to an end in Madrid, Spain, on June 30. NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg said at the press conference that day that Finland and Sweden have the right to choose their own path and make the decision to join NATO. , and that the two countries will formally sign an early warning letter to join NATO on July 5, Stoltenberg emphasized that NATO will protect all friends and be prepared for all eventualities.
According to Associated Press report, Stoltenberg hinted in his speech that the situation in Russia and Ukraine may further deteriorate. Once a full-scale war breaks out directly with Russia, the casualties and damage caused will be far greater than what is currently happening in Ukraine. In order to be serious, on the same day, US President Biden said that Finland and Sweden would join the country's preparedness balance, and the border areas would be further increased, and NATO would become stronger. Biden announced that the United States would implement the following new US$800 million. The military assistance program to Ukraine includes projects to provide advanced air defense systems and other equipment.
He also revealed to reporters that under the initiative of the United States, five member states have promised to provide Ukraine with more than 600 tanks , nearly 500 artillery and other weapons and equipment. Such a move is because the Americans believe that Europe is in defense. In terms of energy dependence, the younger brother is far from reaching the expectations of the United States. NATO's control of Europe is not comprehensive enough. The situation in Ukraine has forced the EU to rush to seek a new security framework from the United States, NATO's main ally, taking into account Finland and Sweden. It is about to join NATO. In the future, the vast majority of the EU population will be under NATO's so-called security framework. Friction between the EU and NATO is inevitable.
The fact that it took more than six months for the two sides to reach an agreement on the relevant joint statement proves this point. At present, 21 of the 27 EU member states have joined NATO. After Finland and Sweden joined NATO, non-NATO members in the EU There are only left in the country, Ireland , Austria , Mal, he and Cyprus . This is the purpose of the United States. Remember that the leader of NATO completely controls the EU and even the whole country. Europe is relying on NATO's strong learning ability and the so-called Political correctness chooses to control and win over their so-called Asian allies to achieve NATO's global strategic capabilities in order to harvest more wealth.
3. Birdyansk City, Zaporozhye Oblast, Ukraine. On June 30, military personnel quickly transported grain cargo ships to the Birdyansk Port controlled by the Russian army. 7,000 tons of grain will be transported to friendly countries. This is the Udong region of Russia. For the first time, there are reports of food being exported by sea. This is a gesture made by Russia. The threat of Snake Island does not exist. Now it depends on Ukraine’s approach. Whether it is necessary to understand the Odessa Port mines is difficult for the Ukrainian army to do. Clearing mines is definitely beneficial to food exports, but once Odessa Port loses the protection of mines, it is unknown whether it will be attacked by Russian attackers from the sea.
