On December 3, the Russian army continued to attack on the battlefield in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian army suffered heavy losses. The mayor of Kyiv openly supported the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Zaluzhny, accusing Zelensky of making a big mistake. At the same time, the Russian army changed tactics in Avadiivka, attacking to the west of the city and tightening the encirclement. According to the battle report published by the Russian Ministry of Defense, more than 800 Ukrainian troops were killed in the past day, especially on the Donetsk front, where more than 300 Ukrainian troops were killed.
The Russian army is engaged in fierce battles with the Ukrainian army in Mot and Avadiivka and the surrounding area. In Avadiivka, the Russian army changed tactics and attacked the Ukrainian army in the northwest, forming a huge salient that threatened the Ukrainian defense line in Berdich and the positions of the Ukrainian army at the coking plant. At the same time, the Russian army launched an offensive from the southwest of the city and advanced to the north, less than 2 kilometers from the only supply line of the Ukrainian army, restricting the activities of the Ukrainian army.
The Russian army successfully adjusted its tactics, tightened the encirclement, and intensified the pressure on the Ukrainian army. According to a dynamic map released by the Institute for the Study of War in the United States, the closest distance between the north and south lines of the Russian army has shrunk from 7 kilometers two weeks ago to 55 km, the activities of the Ukrainian army were further restricted. The previous tactics of the Russian army were to drive the Ukrainian army west out of Avadiivka through attacks in the southeast, southeast and northeast, in order to avoid ** as much as possible.
Whether this tactical adjustment can accelerate the development of the situation in Ukraine has become the focus of attention. Zelensky's crisis: Signs of civil strife in Ukraine are emergingAt present, on the battlefield in Avadiivka, Ukraine, the Russian army may change its tactics and try to end the struggle with the Ukrainian army with the Mariupol model. At the same time, the mayor of Kyiv publicly accused Zelensky of engaging in **, a move that is a very dangerous signal for Zelensky.
The signs of civil strife in Ukraine are becoming more and more apparent. Kyiv Mayor Klychko pointed out in an interview that Zelensky destroyed Ukraine's independent ** institutions and turned Ukraine into an authoritarian state, making many Ukrainians hold the same view. According to a poll by the Ukrainian social group "Reddin", 82% of Ukrainians support and trust Zaluzhny, but only 72% of Ukrainians support Zelensky.
This shows that Zelensky may be at risk of losing his position. In order to keep his position, Zelensky even instructed the parliament to formulate a bill to ensure that the ** elections are not held until the end of the war. However, it is clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Ukraine's defeat is a foregone conclusion, and that the West and Ukraine are looking for scapegoats, and Zelensky seems to have become the best choice.
At this critical juncture, the challenges facing Zelensky cannot be ignored. Will he be able to cope with internal and international pressure in Ukraine and hold his position?This will become an important variable for the future development of Ukraine.
