After the defeat of Ukraine, the Russian army quickly adjusted its strategy, switched from defense to offense, fought on multiple fronts, and quickly achieved a series of victories, especially the capture of Maryinka in Donetsk. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that the Russian army had fully liberated Maryinka and reported to Russia** Putin. Putin attaches great importance to this progress, emphasizing the importance of the capture of Maryinka by the Russian army: first, to keep the enemy away from Donetsk;Secondly, after the capture of Maryinka, the Russian army can enter a wider area of operations. The importance of Maryinka is self-evident, as Ukrainian forces have been building various fortifications in the area since 2014, and the two sides have been fighting around it for nearly a decade. Russia invested a large number of main forces in this war, and finally succeeded in capturing this strategic location, and even Putin himself made a statement, which shows how much attention Russia attaches to this. However, the United States ** dismisses this, claiming that it does not have any strategic significance. (Reports on Maryinka).
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the New York Times, commenting on the Russian army's control of Maryinka, although acknowledging the defeat of the Ukrainian army, did not consider this progress of the Russian army to be of much significance: "Like **Mutt, Maryinka has limited strategic value. ”。At the time of the fierce battle of Mutter, the West held the same attitude. While the Ukrainian army was still able to hold out, the West trumpeted the importance and strategic value of Mutter. However, as soon as the Ukrainian army was overwhelmed, the West began to downplay the importance of Mutt, claiming that there was little strategic value in this place, and it was okay to give it up. When it is really breached, this argument is even more arrogant, and it can almost be said that **Mutter is worthless. (Reports on Mutter). The Ukrainian side is also escaping reality. If **Mutter and Maryinka really don't have much strategic value, then why is the Ukrainian army still stubbornly holding on?Why are you trying to retake these places after being repulsed?One of the main reasons for the defeat of the Ukrainian army is that most of the Ukrainian army has been left in the east and has not been able to deploy on the southern front with full force**.
These Ukrainian troops who remained in the east were engaged with the Russian army on the **Mutt front. Even if they lose, they have been fighting for it, and this is by no means just a political factor, which speaks volumes about the importance of these places. Now, Ukraine has continuously lost strategic points, and the Ukrainian army is unable to regain the lost territory, so it has also begun to adopt an evasive attitude, as reported by the United States**. The Ukrainian side insisted that ** did not fail and even tried to glorify it as a successful operation, claiming that "the Russian army did not capture any new settlements in 2023." Not so long ago, Zelensky strongly emphasized in an interview that the Russian army has not captured any Ukrainian villages in the past year. The Russian leader has completely forgotten about the loss of Mutt and other settlements, according to Russian sarcasm. (U** Zelensky). Not being recognized is not the same as not being there. This evasive attitude will not solve anything. Denying failure is not the same as the absence of failure. Living in fantasy all the time will only hasten the rout of Ukraine. The Kiev authorities have been trying to deceive the Ukrainian population, and even the West, and the information released by these politicians is completely inconsistent with the intelligence provided by the Ukrainian military.
The pessimistic signals released by the top officers of the Ukrainian army have prepared Ukraine even for the worst. Kyiv, however, is still trying to create the illusion that everything is under control. This seems very ridiculous, a lie repeated 10,000 times is just a lie, and when a lie is exposed, it only causes more damage.
