The Ukrainian army, after launching its ** against Russia, met with strong resistance. The Ukrainian army's "Zaporizhzhia Split Operation" plan aims to quickly break through the defenses of the Russian army and cut off the connection between Russia and Crimea, thereby turning the tide of the war. However, this plan did not have the desired effect, and the Ukrainian army not only suffered heavy losses, but also failed to touch the core positions of the Russian army. Ukraine ** Zelensky turned to the United States for help, claiming that if Ukraine fails, the United States will also face a huge threat.
Zelenskyy recently gave an interview to NBC, in which he warned the United States that if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, Russia will not stop and will continue to march into Poland and the Baltic states. At that point, he said, the United States will have only two options: either watch NATO collapse or be forced to go to war with Russia.
Zelensky's remarks exposed his disappointment with the Ukrainian army, and also showed his dissatisfaction with the United States and NATO. He believes that the military assistance given to Ukraine by the United States and NATO is far from enough, and he hopes that the United States can "help Ukraine defeat Russia at any cost."
In fact, the defeat of the Ukrainian army was not due to insufficient assistance from the United States and NATO, but because of the insufficient combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army itself and the strong defense capability of the Russian army. In **, the Ukrainian army uses advanced ** provided by the West, such as "Leopard 2A6" tanks and M2 "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicles, as well as "NATO brigades" trained by NATO countries. However, these ** and troops, under the firepower of the Russian army, all appear powerless. In ten days, the Ukrainian army has made great sacrifices, but no significant progress has been made.
An important obstacle for the Ukrainian army is the air superiority of the Russian army. The Russian army used armed attack aircraft and drones to carry out effective strikes and reconnaissance on the Ukrainian army. The Ukrainian army does not have enough air supremacy and air defense capabilities to withstand air strikes by the Russian army. Although the Ukrainian army, with the help of NATO, also has a certain information capability, this is not enough to make up for the shortcomings of the Ukrainian army in the system. In general, it is difficult for the Ukrainian army to break through the multi-layered defense line of the Russian army.
According to information from all sides, the Ukrainian army has not yet broken through the forward positions of the Russian army, let alone the main positions of the Russian army. The Ukrainian army's plan of "Zaporozhye Split Operation" has become a utopian dream. Kyiv can only use a "tentative offensive" to cover up its defeat, and remind the West not to have too high expectations for the Ukrainian army.
Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Western military assistance to Ukraine has reached an unprecedented level, and even modern equipment for active service has been provided to the Ukrainian army, but this assistance has not changed the fate of the Ukrainian army. Ukraine has sounded a wake-up call for many countries in the world: relying on the West will only make itself a victim;The West is not "omnipotent", and to become a pawn of the West will only make itself a tool of the West's "maximum pressure".
Zelensky should be clear that the United States does not really care about the life and death of Ukraine, nor is it worried about the expansion of the conflict, and even to some extent, the United States hopes that Russia will be more radical - Ukraine has been a pawn that the United States can abandon at any time from the beginning, and since it is a pawn, do not expect to influence the direction of the war.
