According to the leader of the Crimea region, the air defense system of Kerch City has been activated. Fortunately, neither the city nor the Crimean Bridge is in danger.
Crimea has been very unstable recently. In the past week alone, three explosions have occurred in succession, and these explosions are all related to the Russian military facilities there. Although the Uzbek side has not officially admitted that the Uzbek army is involved in The explosions were related to the explosion, but a senior Ukrainian official revealed that one of the incidents was an operation carried out by Ukraine's elite special forces.
Russian military expert Alexey also believes that this series of bombings are all the work of the Ukrainian army. The purpose of Ukraine's doing this is to divert public attention and cover up the fact that it has successively failed on the frontal battlefield. .
At a time when Ukraine has repeatedly made harsh words and vowed to launch a strategic counterattack, the successive explosions in Crimea are no accident. According to the analysis of the Institute of War, a US think tank, the Ukrainian army's attack on Crimea was to cut off the Russian army's logistics lines and attack various infrastructures deployed by Russia in Crimea. This is consistent with the goal of Ukraine's counterattack.
In addition, Ukraine’s attack on Crimea may also be a way for the Ukrainian army to create favorable conditions for regaining control of the west bank of the Dnieper River. The think tank believes that the use of Western weapons by the Ukrainian army to attack these locations does not violate Ukraine's commitment to its Western allies. The implication is that Crimea is regarded as part of Ukraine.
Of course, there should be another reason why the Ukrainian army makes sneak attacks on Russian territory, including Russian-controlled areas, from time to time, and that is to engage in a "public opinion war" with the Russian army and promote the Ukrainian army's "victory" to the outside world. Boosting morale is also an opportunity to ask for arms assistance from the West, allowing the West to see that Ukraine still has high utilization value and can continue to consume Russia.
Although Ukraine wants to play big, the West is not cooperating. Throughout the past July, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Poland , which had previously supported Ukraine, stopped providing any new bilateral services to Ukraine. military Aid commitment , in fact, as early as April, Europe's aid to Ukraine has shown a continuous downward trend. Although the United States is still continuing to ignite the situation, countries such as the United Kingdom and Poland, which had previously taken the lead in following the trend, have already been involved in the Ukrainian issue. The country has lost its initial enthusiasm, especially Germany, which is facing criticism from many parties for its inactivity in aiding Ukraine.
analysis believes that this is related to the performance of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield in recent times. Previously, the US media published an article saying that despite receiving billions of dollars in military assistance, Kherson the front line did not see the Ukrainian army launching any A large-scale counter-offensive operation, the "counter-offensive" promoted by Ukraine seems to be just a public opinion propaganda and has not been implemented in practice. The Ukrainian army may have the idea of counterattack, but in the face of the overwhelming strength of the Russian army, it is difficult for the Ukrainian army to really take advantage.
What’s interesting is that every time they suffer setbacks on the frontal battlefield, the Ukrainian army always regards sneak attacks as a “comeback” move, desperately trying to prove to the outside world that the Ukrainian army has not yet fallen and that the Ukrainian side is still “engaging in” Russian-controlled areas. Big things” strength. But the fact is that the Russian army frequently attacked cities and plundered territory, and the front continued to advance westward, while the "results" of the Ukrainian army were only sneak attacks on certain infrastructures. Which one is better and which one is worse is clear at a glance. Not to mention that the six European countries’ military aid to Ukraine is weakening, so what if the United States and Europe still send money and weapons to Ukraine? There is already a huge disparity in size between Russia and Ukraine. The actions of the United States and Europe to hand over knives to Ukraine will only make this conflict last longer and cause Ukraine to suffer more losses..
