At least 12 major cities in Ukraine were attacked by missile on the same day.
Ukrainian Air Force spokesperson, the Russian army launched at least 483 missiles from Caspian Sea and Black Sea , and Ukrainian air defense system shot down 43 of them.
air strike caused 14 deaths and 97 injuries.
At first glance, the number represents more than 100 casualties, but if you count the number of cruise missiles , the casualties number seems to be mismatched.
If you want to actuate the attack locations and places for large-scale personnel killing, a missile is likely to cause a much higher number than this.
From this perspective, the Russian counterattack, is not oriented towards human killing, after all, it is launching missiles to large cities with dense populations.
Putin said at a meeting with the Security Committee that the attack was based on the recommendations of the Ministry of Defense and the plan of the General Staff, and carried out a large-scale strike against Ukraine's land, sea, air and energy, military command and communication facilities.
cannot escape "large-scale", but it is aimed at facilities and must eliminate the Ukrainian side's ability to launch a strike.
Ukraine constantly emphasizes that missiles fall into residential areas, playgrounds, children's amusement park and other venues, which seems to be targeting civilian facilities.
At present, the missile falls into more open spaces, blowing through the urban water pipes under the road, causing some blocks to flood Jinshan, indicating that the missile selectively avoids the most crowded residential or administrative buildings .
Judging from the existing videos and photos, it is more about the scene of vehicles burning on the road and the glass of the building shattered. There is no scene where missiles plunge directly into the building and tear the building into two pieces.
You will find that this is completely different from the buildings seen on battlefields such as Mariupol , like being gnawed by a dog.
From this perspective, Russia vented its anger and it was also true that it was raining down the missile, but judging from the damage caused, the Russian side raised the muzzle by a millimeter when aiming at .
Essentially, is a warning, not a fatal blow to .
But this must be the restart of a new round of vicious cycle between Russia and Ukraine.
According to Putin, it is a response to Kiev 's long-term "terrorist activities", includes but is not limited to the attack on Crimea Bridge .
Putin said the retaliation was targeting Ukrainian energy, military command and communication facilities. He said that Uzbekistan's special forces were the planners, organizers and implementers of the bridge terrorist attack. He also accused Ukraine of suspected other attacks, including targeting Russian electricity and gas transportation facilities, murdering Russian and Ukrainian public figures, etc., which must include the bombed Dujinna .
In addition, Putin also said that Ukraine also attempted to blow up part of the "Turkish Creek" natural gas transmission system. Putin said the Ukrainian Ministry of Security tried to target the Russian Kursk nuclear power plant and attack high-voltage transmission lines.
He said that all this has evidence and there is testimony from the perpetrators. If Ukraine continues to carry out counter-retaliation, the Russian side will make a severe counterattack on .
This time, the missile rain is definitely not the most severe, which also shows that Putin has a backhand for implementing tougher actions. Russia has no way out in the face of Western encirclement.
has the possibility of improving the selection, number and level of weapons used.
depends on how Ukraine chooses, whether it is to push up the level of violent response, or admit defeat?
At this moment, admitting defeat is by no means an option for Ukraine. public opinion forces Zelensky not to choose to commit suicide in politics, and the West also needs him to continue to be a gunman.
This game cannot be ended hastily.
Zelensky said that Ukraine would not be intimidated by this and vowed to make the Russian army more painful on the battlefield . After the air strike of
, he had a "productive dialogue" with Biden , and air defense and defense cooperation became the top priority .
and Biden also assured Zelensky during the call that the United States will continue to provide support while condemning Russia's "meaningless attack."
Since February 24, the United States has provided Ukrainian military aid worth more than 16.8 billion US dollars, and economic sanctions have reached the eighth round of .
A vicious cycle is forming between Russia and the West, which is full-scale " is prone to violence and ".
Vice Chairman of the Russian Security Conference Medvedev also made a harsh statement, "In addition to defending our people and defending the border, our goal of future actions should be to completely eradicate the Ukrainian political regime ."
He said that Russia's reaction to crime can only be to "eliminate terrorists" in a way that is accepted by the world.
is accepted by the world, it is hard to say, but the Ukrainian issue and the views of various countries may not necessarily be led away by the United States and the West!
Under the current circumstances, both sides have no choice but to retreat.
In fact, it sounds like Russian officials are not novel, but what is explained behind it is that Ukrainian extremists will not allow any negotiation or transaction between the United States and Russia !
Recently, Biden was asked if he would meet with Putin at the upcoming Indonesian G20 summit. Biden actually said that is not necessarily the case, so I will see it then.
he didn't refuse at all. did not add a bunch of negative adjectives like "butchers" to Putin, which made Ukraine and other parties' extreme molecules super vigilant, fearing that things would turn around .
This explains that uses the Crimea Bridge explosion as the first shot, which induces Russia to have to react strongly, allowing Biden and Putin to break the deadlock, and hostage the situation of Russia and Ukraine to continue to evolve along the track set by extremist forces.
So, Biden can only criticize Russia in a certain tone this time: the United States, allies and partners will continue to make Russia pay the price, "put Russia to be responsible for its war crimes and atrocities, and provide Ukraine with security, economic and humanitarian aid ."
There is a deep government in the United States, and deep forces around the Ukrainian issue, including Nazi organizations in Ukraine, extremists from Europe and other places, as well as war beneficiaries in the United States, etc. .
If there is a slight ease between Russia and the United States, and there is a slight turnaround between Russia and Ukraine, deep forces will take action .
To a certain extent, they are the people who really want to lure Russia to use the nuclear weapon , the big killer.
Fishing in the water, the more muddy the water, the bigger the fish.
This is a law of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and it is also the most unsolvable and helpless thing at present.
