Zelenskyy's visit to the United States comes at a time when the situation on the front of Ukraine is taking a new turn.
Under the fierce attack of the ** army, the Ukrainian army retreated from Maryinka, Avdiivka and other places, so that the ** army was able to advance all the way, and in some places, they were able to break through several kilometers, which is rare in history.
From the information available so far, the main target of the Russians is still Avadiivka, and all three areas are surrounded by them.
* The men used the cooperation of the air and the ground to advance towards the west of the city, in an attempt to completely besiege the city of Avadiivka tactically.
On the outskirts of the north-western city, Russian troops have made several strategic breakthroughs in the village of Stepowe (about 3 km away) and advanced for some time towards the city of Avadiivka, entering the edge of the city.
Some Russian forces have launched attacks on new ** Mutivka, for example, 9 kilometers away in Avadiivka, but have been intercepted by Ukrainian forces, who claim that they have repelled 42 offensives by Russian forces in a single day.
And on the outskirts of the city of Avadiivka, there are Russian armored vehicles and infantry regiments.
On the main battlefield of Avadiivka, the ** people achieved certain victories on all fronts.
In Marinka, southwest of Donetsk, Russian forces have actually captured all the cities and raised flags in some places, while Ukrainian forces have all withdrawn to the west of the settlement and begun to build new defensive lines.
From the direction of Luhansk, Russian troops, through the offensive of the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, repelled the Ukrainian troops stationed and made progress on their advance.
To the west of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Russian army has also achieved some results, which is the Russian-Ukrainian war so far, the Russian army has rarely advanced a kilometer, taking the Ukrainian army from Lobodine to the city of Novoprokopivka, and in many places around Novoprokopivka, there has been some progress. However, due to the local climatic conditions, the Russian army did not make much progress.
In Kherson, the ** advanced 2 km west of the Dnieper to the south of Klinki and managed to drive out Ukrainian troops from several unknown locations around Klinki, the Ukrainians tried to occupy woods close to residential areas, but failed. But there is also intelligence that Ukrainian reinforcements have been transferred to another place, and the Ukrainians have not yet been forced into the river.
With the advance of the ** army, the Ukrainian army also carried out some small-scale ** in all directions, but most of the battles did not have much success. It seems that the only place where they succeeded, in the village of Stepbowe, located northwest of Avadiivka, was not completely taken by the ** people.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why the Ukrainian forces are abandoning some positions at the front is not only because of the fierce offensive of the Russians, but more importantly, Kyiv is undergoing a comprehensive strategic adjustment.
U**Zelensky's attitude is very resolute, claiming that the Ukrainian army will definitely not retreat and will continue to attack. However, in early December, the Ukrainian side held a high-level meeting, and Zelensky changed his previous attitude, saying, "At the moment, building defense is the top priority." ”
Obviously, the ** for several months has failed to work, Russia has continued to attack Avadiivka and other places, the assistance of Western countries is decreasing day by day, and the Ukrainian military has long been at the end of the crossbow, not to mention the large-scale **, even the strength and resources, and the inability to fight to the death with the ** people on all fronts.
At present, the Russian army has chosen to abandon and retreat on many battlefields, most of which want to maintain the defensive line as much as possible and wait for a new round of support.
However, as the United States and Europe are stretched thin on the issue of aid to Ukraine, and the calls of Western countries for aid to Ukraine are also increasing day by day, Zelensky and others are facing difficulties if they want to seek help.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Zelensky made his third visit to the United States, with the aim of saving the shelved aid bill for Ukraine in order to save the dispute between the two major parties within the United States.
In short, Biden previously submitted a bill asking Congress to come up with another $106 billion to help Ukraine and Israel, as well as other issues, of which about $61 billion would be used to support Ukraine.
But when it came time for the parliament to vote, it was rejected by the Republicans. Currently, Republicans are asking the Biden administration to increase border security spending in order to gain support for Ukraine.
Zelensky's trip was supposed to save the bill, but because of the adjournment of parliament, Zelensky's plan did not seem to have succeeded. The United States** said that this is the only bailout package that Ukraine can get if it is not passed by Congress.
The 200 million dollar in supplies can only allow the Ukrainian army to hold on to the front line for a while.
From an outsider's point of view, the political solution to the Ukrainian crisis has actually been perfected. However, Russia and Ukraine are currently reluctant to take this crucial step, given the significant differences between the two countries on the bottom line of the negotiations and the potential influence of the US-led NATO. The war between the two sides will continue for some time until there is a new and important turning point.
