In the latest series of events, tensions between Ukraine and Russia have escalated again. A large-scale drone night attack has attracted global attention. The reported destruction of 20 Su-34 fighter jets is the latest example of Ukraine's recent growing strike force against Russia.
Since Putin came to power, he has expressed his desire to wash away decades of humiliation brought by Ukraine to Russia's national dignity. Faced with the constraints of the increasingly weakened international status and Western sanctions, and the isolation and economic difficulties in the eastern region to get rid of the "soft underbelly", Putin chose to devote his obsession to the four regions of eastern Ukraine, which have important resources and strategic value.
In the process of pursuing a counterattack strategy, thinking about poverty becomes an inevitable result. Using advanced technology and equipment, such as drones, Ukraine has launched a series of well-planned and efficient combat formations to carry out asymmetric strikes against Russian military and civilian installations. This action has a considerable deterrent effect and has caused huge losses to the Russian side.
The Russian army, which carried out a precision offensive in Ukraine, was not idle. They retaliate mercilessly and strengthen the contract force to deal with the possible arrival of **. The war potential of both sides has been constantly challenged and attacked, and it seems that a situation of high tension and no results has been achieved.
Ukraine also faces cuts in aid funding and a lack of military support. Under the concern and pressure expressed by the international community, the Ukrainian side warned that it will be difficult to maintain its viability without timely and effective assistance.
Putin has a deep obsession with the four regions of eastern Ukraine and believes that they are important resources and strategic value of Russia. He hopes to get out of this predicament by washing away the humiliation of history and restoring the dignity of the country.
Specific incidents such as the bombing of the Su-34, Putin's attempt to wash away Ukraine's humiliation, drone attacks, and Russian forces striking civilian facilities in Ukraine reflect the current tensions in which the two sides are trying to weaken each other's war potential.
