A thrilling scene unfolded over Crimea - the Ukrainian army's air strikes were like a shocking missile, aimed at Russian military fortifications. It is reported that the attack took place in the Feodosia region of Crimea, and the strong ** caused a fire that plunged the entire port into flames. This cannot help but recall an earlier battle - the sinking of the missile cruiser "Moskva". Now, the landing ship "Novocherkassk" has once again become a victim of the Russian ** team, and a new scene of the Russian-Croatian conflict is being staged.
In the smoke of the war, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, Nikolai Oreshchuk, claimed that the attack successfully "blew up the Russian landing ship 'Novocherkassk'". This is another shocking incident in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that has severely damaged the Russian fleet since the sinking of the "Moskva" in April 2022. This time, the location of the attack was directly in the port of the Russian army, showing that the Ukrainian army has obvious intention to take the initiative to attack, and is very confident in the strength of Russia's military facilities. The military conflict has caused constant waves between the two countries, making people speculate whether the Russia-Ukraine conflict is about to enter a new phase.
Ukraine's tactics in this conflict have clearly changed, from the previous asymmetric means, such as sending ** to blow up bridges and quietly infiltrating enemy territory, to a more direct military offensive. Although the Ukrainian army failed to gain a clear advantage in the summer offensive, this strike on the Russian military port in Crimea showed the resoluteness and strength of the Ukrainian army. For the Russian army, the attack on the "Novocherkassk" forced the Russian side to admit the fact that the ship was damaged.
However, Ukraine's military resolve has raised concerns, especially in Western countries, where support for Ukraine has become a key link. Some sources revealed that Russia seems to be interested in negotiating with Ukraine, and for this reason, France's Macron even made a rumor, saying that as long as Russia and Ukraine can sit down to negotiate, France will invite Putin to participate in the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings in 2024. However, Ukraine's ** Zelensky made it clear that he would not take Putin as the object of negotiation, and at the same time insisted on recovering the territories occupied by Russia and even recapturing Crimea, which made the negotiation path more and more tortuous.
Does Ukraine have enough military strength to achieve the ambitious goals proposed by Zelensky?One commentator suggested that this may not be the case. He pointed out that Ukraine may not have enough military strength at present, and even after the Crimean crisis, Ukraine has used the mediation of France, Germany and other countries to negotiate in the "Normandy format", which obviously shows that Ukraine did not fully rely on its own strength at that time. In addition, the limited number of adult men serving as military personnel in Ukraine has raised doubts about their military capabilities.
Western support is crucial for Ukraine, but it is worth noting that 2024 is the first year of the United States. In this context, if the Republican Party comes to power, especially if Trump makes a comeback, he has said that if he takes office again, he will end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 24 hours, which has raised doubts about Ukraine's support at the international level. As a result, Ukraine may face a more complicated situation in future negotiations and military operations.
Overall, the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine conflict suggest that this intense and complex conflict is entering a new phase. The military means and determination of the Ukrainian army, as well as the support of the West, make the situation even more confusing. However, Zelensky's insistence on the position and Russia's reaction indicate that the road to future peace talks is full of twists and turns. How to resolve this conflict will not only test the political wisdom of the leaders of Russia and Ukraine, but may also affect the future of the entire Slavic nation. In this crisis, who can solve this dilemma, and who can become the hero of Russia or Ukraine, is a historical problem that has attracted much attention. For now, we can only wait and see the dawn of peace shining in the darkness of this conflict.
