At a press conference at 2 pm on the 26th, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Zaluzhny, announced that Ukrainian troops had been evacuated from the city of Maryinka. The city, once prosperous and vibrant, is now in ruins, completely destroyed by the enemy. This decision to evacuate is a difficult choice made by Ukraine after weighing the war losses against the value of soldiers' lives.
Maryinka, a city located in the Donetsk region, was once an important stronghold of Ukraine. However, in the face of the fierce offensive of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army had to make a decision to withdraw. Speaking at the press conference, Zaluzhny said that while territory is important, soldiers' lives are even more precious. The Ukrainian army will not fight in the form of a meat grinder, like the Russian army, their main task is to deliver the maximum blow to the enemy, destroy the enemy's living forces and equipment, and make Maryinka and Adyyivka a nightmare place for the Russian army.
In fact, the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops in Maryinka was not an easy task. They dug trenches in the center of the city and in some places to block the Russian offensive. In some places, they dug even further to ensure the safe withdrawal of troops. However, in the face of a powerful Russian offensive, these defensive measures did not prevent the fall of Maryinka.
Over the past few months, the Ukrainian army has fought hard in Maryinka. They inflicted a huge ** on the enemy, destroying more than 20,000 enemies in the last two months alone. However, as the war continues, the Ukrainian army has also paid a huge price. They faced severe shortages of supplies and personnel, which made it increasingly difficult for them to sustain themselves in the war.
In this case, the Ukrainian army had to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the war. They realised that if they continued to hold out at Maryinka, they would pay a greater price. Therefore, after careful consideration, they decided to evacuate the place. This decision, while difficult, is necessary. It embodies the Ukrainian army's respect for the lives of soldiers and a clear awareness of the realities of war.
However, the evacuation of Maryinka does not mean the end of the war for the Ukrainian army. On the contrary, the challenges they face remain daunting. They need to redeploy their forces, find new defensive positions, and continue to inflict blows on the enemy. At the same time, they also need to strengthen domestic production capacity to ensure the best supply of war materials. Only in this way will they be able to achieve final victory in the war.
In addition, Ukraine needs to enlist more support and assistance from the international community. They need to prove to the world that they are a trustworthy partner and show their determination and courage in the war. Only then will they be able to secure more support and resources to meet the challenges posed by the war.
In conclusion, the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Maryinka was a difficult decision. It embodies the dilemmas and challenges they faced in the war. However, they did not give up, but continued to hold their ground, inflicting a blow on the enemy. Their courage and determination deserve our admiration and support. We hope that Ukraine will be able to achieve a final victory in the war and bring peace and prosperity to this war-torn country.
