After the 200 days of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the situation on the battlefield began to undergo some subtle changes. The most striking thing is that Ukraine has carried out a "counterattack". Ukrainian President Zelensky said, "6,000 square kilometers of territory have been regained." For Russia, there is no official statement on whether it is a command error or a strategic contraction. It can be found that the leader of the Russian Chechen Republic Kadyrov clearly stated that "there is a problem with the military command". If it is not changed, "they will find Putin to report it."
At the same time, 1 NATO has also made more movements around it. Recently, thousands of people have conducted military exercises in the eastern part of Poland . The United States and Britain took the lead in . The key content includes tank coordinated combat. Moreover, from various countries are all the active main battle tanks .
According to reports from Global Network , a spokesperson for the 18th Mechanization Division of the Polish Army recently said that thousands of soldiers from Poland, the United States and the United Kingdom are currently holding a military exercise called "Bear-22" in eastern Poland. Among them, the Polish army's "Leopard" tank , the US army's "Abrams" tank , and the British army's "Challenger" tank will work together, and live-fire shooting will also be held.
Poland also stated that the exercise will last until the 23rd of this month. observation found that this joint exercise between the United States, Britain and Poland not only dispatched all the active main battle tanks, but also three backgrounds are particularly worthy of attention.
First, the current conflict situation in Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine seems to have taken some local initiative and launched a "counterattack" in the northeastern Kharkov direction. Zelensky said that "6,000 square kilometers of territory have been regained" and made a tough statement that this is far from enough. Ukraine's goal is to regain all lost territory, "including Crimea ". At such a sensitive moment, the three NATO countries carried out large-scale military exercises and were so close to the Russian border, which obviously responded to Ukraine and cheered him on.
Second, Zelensky recently frequently called out to Germany, hoping that Berlin can provide Ukraine with the "Leopard"-2 main battle tank to support Ukraine's counterattack operation. He also proposed that the United States provide tanks first to "set an example" for Germany. Berlin's reply to Ukraine was that it can be provided, but it will start from May next year, one car per month. Of course, Ukraine can understand the meaning of this.
Obviously, Germany does not want to completely "break up" with Russia. Recently, German Chancellor Scholz also spoke to Russian President Putin, and the Russian side said that "it was held in an atmosphere of mutual respect."
Under such a background, the United States, Britain and Poland practiced "tank joint combat" around Russia, which was obviously not accidental, and it may have the intention of replacing Germany and providing Ukraine with main battle tanks.
Third, it is currently during the UN General Assembly meeting, and 193 member states are conducting a "general debate" at the United Nations headquarters in New York, including many issues involving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Before the meeting, the United States took advantage of the "advantage" of UN 's headquarters in the United States and had already made Russia's embarrassment on entry visas. After the meeting was launched, the US side even proposed to "change with one vote veto ", believing that Russia has used "veto" too many times and is an "abuse".
Of course, these are all off-field actions. Now, the United States, Britain and Poland are exercising military exercises near Russia, which directly makes such a big noise. Obviously, it also wants to use this to call on UN General Assembly to look at the battlefields of Russia and Ukraine, hoping to issue more resolutions against Russia.
It is worth noting that Russia has recently directly warned the United States, "Don't provide Ukraine with long-range missile , otherwise it will be regarded as directly participating in the war." Although US President Biden is still hesitating, Kiev is constantly urging, hoping to provide long-range missiles as soon as possible.At this time, the sudden appearance of this "tank collaborative combat" exercise between the United States, Britain and Poland may also be because the US side wants to make it clear that it is not allowed to provide long-range missiles, so it will provide Ukraine with main battle tanks.
It seems that after a brief calm, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict may set off another climax. What is most worrying is that the friction between Russia and NATO begins to become more and more direct, and once the fire is brought on, the consequences will be unimaginable.
