As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine lasts for hundreds of days, the current Ukrainian army seems to have no choice but to struggle to support itself. Even though Ukraine claims to have mobilized more than one million soldiers, judging from the progress of the conflict, the Ukrainian army has little chance of winning. Not to mention whether to invest 1 million troops, threatening a counterattack without air superiority is tantamount to "seeking death."
According to previous media reports, a detachment of the 35th Marine Brigade of the Ukrainian Army was locked in advance by a Russian drone while driving a vehicle while trying to escape, and then fired artillery shells and killed them on the spot. It can be said that after the Russian army took control of the air over Ukraine, every move of the Ukrainian army was indeed under sight.
In other words, the previous process of NATO assisting Ukraine with arms was most likely under the reconnaissance of Russian drones. Otherwise, why could the Russian army accurately destroy the arsenal containing a large amount of NATO equipment? It can also be said that it seems a bit whimsical that the Ukrainian army dared to threaten a desperate counterattack despite losing its air superiority.
More importantly, after the Ukrainian army squad was written off on the spot, NATO may have already understood that Ukraine cannot counterattack at all, or even regain lost ground. It is not difficult to understand why the United States previously claimed that it did not know whether there would be another $54 billion in aid to Ukraine. To put it bluntly, NATO also knows very well that allowing Ukraine to regain lost territory while severely injuring Russian soldiers is no less than a dream.
After all, the gap between the two sides cannot be bridged by relying on NATO equipment. However, due to face issues, NATO does not want to admit that its assistance to Ukraine has failed. Therefore, we can only put it another way, using the excuse of reducing aid to Ukraine to gradually achieve the goal of stopping losses in a timely manner.
In other words, the Ukrainian army is getting closer and closer to losing its aid to Ukraine. It can even be said that once NATO chooses to stop its losses in time, it will definitely be a nightmare for Ukraine. Because with the rocket launcher assisted by NATO, the Ukrainian army can also launch attacks on Ukraine and Russia to a certain extent. Without NATO-assisted arms, what can Ukraine do to compete with the Russian army? So, Ukraine's good days may be coming to an end soon.
This means that the day when the Russian army takes over the entire Udong region is getting closer. At the same time, Russian bombings may become more frequent. After all, every time the Russian army carries out large-scale bombings in western Ukraine, it can make significant progress in eastern Ukraine.
Therefore, Russia today can strike while the iron is hot and further capture more of the Udong region. Of course, it is not realistic to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the short term. After all, the foreign mercenaries within the Ukrainian army, as well as military instructors from NATO, are likely to plan a major counterattack, which can also be considered the last step. Fight. As for what kind of results can be achieved, perhaps no one knows. However, for Ukraine, if it does not launch a desperate counterattack, there will be no chance in the future.
