Foreword: Ukraine is facing a serious war challenge, and with the increase in Russian military spending, the war situation has become more intractable. Against this background, the situation of the Ukrainian army has become extremely difficult, and they are facing an enemy not only a large number of Russian troops, but also a reduction in aid from Western countries. This article will describe in detail an incident in which a Ukrainian soldier was bombed by a Russian army in a tunnel, and further discuss the challenges and dilemmas on the Ukrainian front.
Ukraine has always been in a difficult situation, and now with reduced Western aid, their defeat seems to be only a matter of time. U.S. support for Ukraine has reportedly been significantly reduced, and European aid is also decreasing. In addition, Ukraine is also facing prolonged air strikes, which have led to the loss of their ability to produce autonomously. Against this background, it is already a remarkable thing that the front-line forces of Ukraine are able to maintain basic defense capabilities. However, the Ukrainian army is still facing a saturation attack by the Russian army, which does not give Ukraine any face.
Recently, a section of ** showed that Ukrainian soldiers were hit by bombs accurately dropped by the Russian army shortly after drilling into the tunnel. As soon as the Ukrainian soldiers got into the tunnel, when they were still looking around, they unknowingly became the target of Russian bombs. The slow-motion picture shows that the shock wave generated by the bomb drone ** penetrates the entire underground tunnel, and it is conceivable that the chances of survival of the Ukrainian soldiers are very small.
This incident attracted the attention of the outside world to the war situation in Ukraine, and then it was reported that in addition to the Ukrainian soldiers who were killed, a large number of soldiers also disappeared mysteriously. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine claims that more than 1 million people of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed and missing during the full-scale war. The Ukrainian **office received a large number of ** about missing soldiers. Although Ukrainian TV subsequently clarified that the news was an "accident" and that the numbers were made by mistake, the outside world believed that Ukraine had concealed the actual number of ** people. According to the report, there have been many outbreaks in Ukraine where the relatives of soldiers have "searched for relatives", and a large number of soldiers have disappeared, and ** cannot give a reasonable explanation. Inevitably, in this war of great disparity, Ukraine will face more, and the reluctance to disclose the actual number of people may be to avoid unease among the population, so the actual number may be larger than we think.
The Russian army achieved important results in the latest onslaught, successfully seizing the positions of the Ukrainian army in the industrial zone of Promzona, southeast of Avadiivka. The region has always been an important stronghold of the Ukrainian army, which has been tightening its grip on the region since the 2014 civil unrest in Ukraine. In this process, the 53rd Brigade became the most combat-ready unit among the Ukrainian soldiers, and Ukraine carried out a large number of city fortifications in the area. However, now the Russian army has launched an attack on the area, and the Ukrainian soldiers are extremely heavy, and they have repeatedly asked for assistance. Although Ukraine** approved reinforcements for the 116th Brigade, the Aid Force did not arrive in time and was also attacked by Russian troops. In the end, the 53rd Brigade could not withstand the attack from the Russian army and withdrew from its positions ahead of schedule.
As a result of the failure of the 116th Brigade, the Ukrainian defense line in Avadiivka almost completely collapsed. The defense system of the Ukrainian army is on the verge of collapse, and the loss of Avadiivka is a foregone conclusion. This is a major result for the Russian army, which can further consolidate their control of Donetsk and dominate the next round of negotiations. Moreover, the goal of the Russian army is not to occupy more territory, but to stabilize control over the corresponding areas in order to weaken the Ukrainian army's ability to counterattack. There is information from the Ukrainian side that the Russian army has carried out a third round of offensives, launching no less than 30 shells a day to consume the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army. However, this does not mean that Zelensky will give the order to withdraw his troops, and a ceasefire is unlikely to be achieved at least until the end of the year. But it is also possible that more information about the peace talks will emerge in preparation for the next negotiations. In the process, the two sides may engage in a more intense battle, because at the negotiating table, whoever has more chips is more likely to be heard.
Conclusion: Ukraine is facing severe war challenges, and in the face of Russia's increased military spending and reduced Western aid, the situation of Ukrainian soldiers has become extremely difficult. Ukraine's defense capability has been severely weakened, and the soldiers are at great risk. The incident of Ukrainian soldiers being bombed in the tunnel once again highlights the plight of the Ukrainian army. Ukraine's concealment of the actual situation may be to avoid unease among the population, but it also makes it impossible for the outside world to know exactly what is actually going on with the Ukrainian army. The collapse of Ukraine's defense line and the loss of positions have made the Ukrainian soldiers' foothold in the war even more fragile. The achievement of a ceasefire faces enormous difficulties, and the war may further intensify. The development of the war situation in Ukraine is worrying, and the international community should increase its support for Ukraine to help it tide over this difficult time.
