The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been happening for half a year, and the original stalemate state began to change under the counterattack of Ukrainian . Now the situation on the entire battlefield is gradually turning to Ukraine.
Since early September, Ukraine has regained more than 3,000 square kilometers of land from Russia. Including Ijium , Balacreya, Kupiyansk and other regions.
However, in Ukraine's counterattack, neither side had a relatively large exchange of fire. Instead, Russia took the initiative to withdraw from the entire front of Kharkov and returned to the Donbas area.
Many people are surprised by this situation. After all, most people did not expect Ukraine to counterattack from the direction of Kharkov. Because before Ukraine officially launched a counterattack, most of the military forces were mainly targeting , Khlsong, and the Crimea region.
At that time, Ukraine not only blew up Russia's ammunition database in Crimea, but also attacked many airports in Crimea. He even threatened to blow up Crimea Bridge , regain Crimea Peninsula , etc.
result Ukraine finally made a comeback and launched an attack in the direction of Kharkov. He caught Russia off guard.
It can be said that Ukraine's strategic deception this time was very successful. After all, Russia's defense in Kharkov is also relatively weak. It is also easier for Ukraine to capture Kharkov.
And the current front of Russia is very long, so it is indeed difficult to defend. If Ukraine insists on launching a counterattack on the Crimean region, it is not completely impossible to retake the Crimean Peninsula. So, can Russia defend it then?
First of all, everyone should know that Ukraine asked Russia to withdraw from the Crimea region at the beginning of the war, but Russia did not make concessions on the issue of Crimea. It can be seen from this that both sides attach great importance to the Crimean Peninsula.
As early as 1997, Russia and Ukraine signed a treaty of friendly cooperation, and the two sides agreed that Crimea belongs to Ukraine. However, Russia has the right to continue to lease the good port of Crimea, Sevastopol as the home port of Black Sea Fleet .
But compared to renting, it is obviously more advantageous to occupy it. If Russia can occupy the Crimean Peninsula, it can build a never-sinking aircraft carrier . Building more ports and military facilities in Crimea.
So after the Crimean crisis in 2014, Russia took the opportunity to seize the Crimean Peninsula. Russia also paid a very high price for this at that time. For example, it has been subject to sanctions and suppression by Western countries such as the United States.
But even so, Russia cannot make concessions on the issue of the Crimean Peninsula. Now Russia has stationed the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea, and Russia can travel from Crimea through Black Sea to the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and other waters.
If Russia loses Crimea, it is equivalent to letting others block the doorstep. Moreover, according to the personality of Putin and , it is even more impossible for Russia to give up Crimea.
So it is not so easy for Ukraine to take over Crimea. In terms of economic strength and military strength, Ukraine has no possibility of defeating Russia and taking over Crimea.
After all, Russia is more than twenty times that of Ukraine in terms of overall national strength, not to mention that Russia now has thousands of nuclear bombs. Enough to have the ability to destroy the entire earth. Western countries such as
NATO also know that if Russia really uses these nuclear weapons , it will also suffer. Therefore, it is impossible for NATO countries to give Ukraine too much support.
So it is a fantasy to Ukraine want to regain Crimea with its own strength. What do you think about this? Welcome to discuss
