Phoenix Network Military Report: The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has lasted for more than 600 days, what are Russia's gains and losses in this war?Since the launch of the Ukrainian army on June 4, Russia has also launched an offensive in the direction of Svato and Kremina in eastern Ukraine, and the Russian side has seized far more land than the Ukrainian side.
At present, the Russian army has deployed sufficient troops and equipment in the second and third lines of defense, and the time of the round battle has also been shortened from the previous three months to one and a half months. ** The domestic military industrial complex has entered the "247" production mode, that is, working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, a total of 16 missile production lines in Russia are currently running at full speed, and 80,000 skilled technicians are working in 24-hour shifts around the clock.
From the officers and soldiers at the front to the ** and scholars in the rear, Russia has made clear the purpose of the war, that is, to try to solve the problem of NATO's eastward expansion once and for all. However, Russia is facing not only 1.2 million Ukrainian troops, but also the support of 56 countries led by the United States.
The short-term plan of the Russian army is to fight until 2025, and it is also preparing for a long-term operation. If the conflict between Russia and Ukraine ends abruptly tomorrow, Ukraine will completely turn to the West, the brotherhood of more than 300 years will be completely severed, and Russia's security environment will be worse than before the war.
In addition, Finland has joined NATO and has a 1,277-kilometer land border with Russia, which is closer to Russia's European hinterland. And Sweden is also actively joining NATO, and Ukraine has become a de facto "battering ram" for the West against Russia.
In this conflict, Russia's gains and losses are difficult to measure. But from a military point of view, the Russian army has achieved a clear advantage in seizing land and increasing its military strength. However, the war has also taken a toll on Russia economically, diplomatically, and in terms of its international image.
First of all, the war has put enormous pressure on Russia's economy. Protracted military conflicts have led to an increase in military spending, which has had a negative impact on domestic economic development and social welfare. In addition, international sanctions have also limited Russia's economic development and cooperation.
Secondly, the war also had a negative impact on Russia's diplomatic relations. The conflict with Ukraine has exacerbated tensions between Russia and Western countries, leading to blocked diplomatic channels and reduced international cooperation. This has weakened Russia's position and influence in the international arena to a certain extent.
Finally, the war has also taken a toll on Russia's international image. The protracted military conflicts and acts of war have aroused widespread concern and criticism from the international community. Some countries have expressed concern about Russia's behavior and have questioned its international responsibilities and obligations.
To sum up, there are both gains and losses for Russia from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. While gaining advantages in land acquisition and military strength, they also faced economic, diplomatic, and international image losses. However, for Russia, this war is also a necessary action to safeguard *** and interests.
