Within 24 hours, Russia and Ukraine have dealt heavy blows to each other, and no one can help anyone, no one can help anyone, but now, they both have their own things to deal with.
The war between Russia and Ukraine, after a brief lull, has made new progress. **News Agency reported that on the 25th, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu confirmed that **The army had captured the important town of Marinka in Donetsk. Russia**Putin heard about this, and he said that as long as Marinka is captured, **the army will have a chance to march into a larger battlefield. In other words, if the Russians take the fortress, there is a good chance that they will tear a hole in the Ukrainian defense line and gain an even greater advantage. The Russian-Ukrainian war has lasted for several months, and the Russians have achieved impressive results, but the Ukrainian army's defense on this front is not ideal.
But shortly after the Russian side declared victory, the Ukrainian army launched another surprise attack. Earlier, Ukraine's Black Sea fleet was hit by a Ukrainian air strike, reportedly hit by a Taurus-type anti-aircraft missile, and destroyed the giant Russian landing ship Novocherkassk. The Black Sea Fleet has four of these giant landing ships, which are also said to be used by the Russians to transport the Conqueror-136's suicide unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. The Black Sea Fleet suffered heavy losses, the number of large warships in the Black Sea Fleet was sharply reduced, and the long-range attack capabilities of the Russian Navy were greatly limited.
Russia and Ukraine come and go, each has its own victories and defeats, and each has its own strengths. The problem now is that the balance of power between Russia and Ukraine has given the Russians an absolute upper hand, which gives the Russians a certain chance of victory. The capture of the small town of Maryinka is a manifestation of the gradual manifestation of ** military power, and this is where the weakness of the Ukrainian side lies. The big question now is how to protect the Black Sea Navy. Since the Ukrainians got Western precision navigation missiles, the Black Sea Fleet has become very dangerous, judging by the recent attacks, the Black Sea Fleet has lost its defense capability on the ground, they have reached the brink of survival, and once their navy is annihilated, then it will be a huge trouble for Russia.
Overall, Russia and Ukraine are still in a stalemate, and although Russia is gradually turning offensive, it still lacks the key factors that determine victory or defeat. The Ukrainian army is still struggling to support, and occasionally sneak attacks on ** people, but it still can't change the outcome of the war. Therefore, the trend of the Russia-Ukraine dispute in 2024 will depend on the external environment, for example, whether Western countries are involved, and Russia will spend more money on this battle. But one thing is certain, that is, the war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia has no room for maneuver, Putin will not give up easily, and future changes largely depend on the attitude of the United States towards Ukraine.
