The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been going on for almost two years, and as the Russian army continues to gain local superiority, it seems that it is only one step away from victory. Recently, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu informed about the ** situation in the Ukrainian army at an internal meeting. According to him, the number of the Ukrainian army is close to 400,000, and the number of tanks and armored vehicles damaged has also reached more than 3,000. Such a huge loss is undoubtedly worse for a country that is not very powerful. It is worth noting that the data given by Shoigu is very close to the previously published information of Western intelligence services, so its credibility is high. Of course, the possibility that the Russian side is deliberately exaggerating data in order to undermine the enemy's morale cannot be ruled out.
Whatever the real situation, the Ukrainian army is currently in a situation of losing ground. Recently, a high-ranking military officer in Ukraine made a proposal to the authorities in the hope that Zelensky would immediately issue a general mobilization order, which is different from the temporary call-up order issued earlier. According to a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the general mobilization order means replenishing the required number of troops at all costs, somewhat similar to the concept of "all people are soldiers". Generally speaking, when a country is forced to resort to such means, it means that the situation is already extremely critical. Considering that Ukraine's total population is only 40 million, and that tens of millions of people are said to have left Ukraine after the outbreak of the conflict, it can be said that the Ukrainian authorities are ready to treat the entire population as a last bargaining chip.
This further highlights the reality that the Ukrainian army may already be precarious on the battlefield. Ukraine's current predicament goes far beyond that. Previous reports have shown that Ukraine's treasury is seriously underfunded, and it is said that it could face bankruptcy in early March next year. As soon as the entire country goes bankrupt, the resistance forces on all fronts in Ukraine will lose any guarantees. This means that not only is it difficult to cope with the conflict situation, but even the disintegration of the Ukrainian state is very likely. The attitude of European countries is even worse, and they may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. Allegedly, some European countries are even trying to send signals to Russia about peace negotiations through various channels.
These countries do not seem to intend to invite Ukrainian Zelensky to participate in the negotiations, which is undoubtedly a hint that Europe is ready to completely abandon Ukraine. Despite the dire situation, Zelensky has a glimmer of hope that he may turn to the United States for help. Instead of seeking assistance with a small amount of equipment, he hopes to send a massive military force to protect Ukraine, as the United States has done for Israel. Perhaps the United States will consider this request if Ukraine can bring great benefits to the United States. However, with the imminent depletion of the Ukrainian treasury, the sea ** passage blocked by Russia, and the refusal of European countries to land **, Ukraine has completely lost its "hematopoietic" ability.
It is believed that the United States will definitely be more ruthless than European countries and will not hesitate to consider Ukraine as an "outcast". Zelensky is running out of time, and perhaps it's time to think about the worst.
