It is reported that a video released by the European Commission Chairman von der Leyen last week caused huge controversy. In the video, EU said that Russia's military operations have brought death, destruction and indescribable pain to Ukraine. Since the war started, 20,000 civilians and as many as 100,000 soldiers have died, and the Russians must be responsible for this. Although the Ukrainian authorities immediately refuted the number "seriously untrue" and the actual number of soldiers was only about 13,000; many media did not believe in Ukrainian data, believing that the EU's figures were closer to the battlefield situation, which was roughly equivalent to the casualty statistics released by Russia.
news mentioned that one of the reasons for the large number of Ukrainian soldiers' deaths is that AFP , Reuters and Russia's front-line media released too many videos during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine: In addition to ordinary artillery , thermopress , high-equivalent aerial bomb and missiles of various calibers bombarded Ukrainian military facilities and positions. The artillery fire ratio between the front and Ukraine is often close to 9:1, and the artillery fire caused many soldiers to be killed and killed. Compared with Russia, Ukraine has only a small number of Soviet artillery besides howitzer , and there are some Western-aided weapons such as " Himas ", but not many. It is normal for the large gap in casualties caused by different firepowers, and the comparison of the number of weapons between the two countries before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict was very different.
7, US media CNN exclusively revealed that the Ukrainian government has "extended its hand" to Biden , and this time it requested an extremely dangerous weapon - cluster bomb . There are many types of cluster bombs. The most common form is that the large-caliber missile body (or aviation bomb) is loaded with dozens to hundreds of sub- bombs. There are usually bullets that continue to spread after explosion in , and the killing coverage area is very exaggerated. Cluster bombs are truly a "undifferentiated large-scale killing" weapon on the battlefield. Like Dam bombs, white phosphorus bombs, white phosphorus bombs, and other weapons, International Treaty , and more than 100 countries have signed announcements on banning cluster bombs.
Some military personnel believe that Ukraine's demand for this weapon may be a manifestation of "losing red eyes". The cluster bombs are very obvious in restraint on the attacking side, because this weapon is not capable of penetrating buildings and bunkers, but it poses a great threat to military personnel and armored vehicles ; the defensive side can release cluster ammunition to the offensive position that is separated from the bunker, which will cause great damage to the attackers. So this is also the reason why Ukraine has been asking Biden for this weapon recently. They believe that Russia's numerical advantage in artillery can be curbed through such weapons, and even the conditions for "fast victory". Of course, this only exists in theory.
Also worth mentioning is that CNN also disclosed that the Biden administration did not reject Ukraine's request but was "considering", so it is not ruled out that this aid agreement will be passed in the end. Some Ukrainian MPs also worry that if they use "banned weapons" such as cluster bombs against the Russian army, they will be subject to several times indiscriminate retaliation from Russians, although "Russia has been using these weapons secretly before." There are comments on this: "After the Crimea Bridge explosion, the entire Ukraine was bombed by the Russian army for nearly a month, and no longer has any intentional attacks on civilian facilities in Russia; in short, there are many cluster bombs in Russia. If Ukraine uses them directly, the consequences will be very troublesome."
