On November 30, the Russian army launched another large-scale military operation, and the situation in Ukraine became tense again. Surprisingly, the Russian army took tank armored vehicles as cover on the northern front in the Kupyansk region, and carried out a powerful ** on the defense line of the Ukrainian army. Then, the Ukrainian army on the southern front of Kherson was hit by a strong saturation strike by Russian fighters and bombers, prompting its own armored forces to advance the attack.
In the end, the Russian army managed to break through the defense line of the Ukrainian army in the Zaporozhye region of the Eastern Front. Under the heavy artillery fire of the Russian army, a large number of foreign mercenary units fled in a hurry, and there is a continuous increase in deserters within the Ukrainian army. There are even some Ukrainian sergeants who secretly flee to Russian positions in the dark, hoping to save their lives by surrendering.
In fact, Ukraine's current predicament is closely related to its ** operation, which took place in July-August. At that time, Ukraine was facing a severe predicament, its excellent combat units were in dire need of rest, and there was a serious shortage of equipment. According to the normal situation, Ukraine will need at least half a year to recover its strength, rebuild its combat units, and introduce new ** equipment to develop a more reliable combat strategy.
At that time, Zelensky** was feeling caught off guard, because, contrary to expectations, they did not immediately launch a strong offensive operation after receiving military assistance from the United States and NATO, but declared that the Ukrainian army was already ready. This unexpected approach has sparked widespread controversy. In other words, against this background, a large number of recruits were sent to the front to participate in the planning of counterattack operations.
However, it turns out that despite the fact that the Ukrainian army has been conducting offensives for almost 3 months, they have not been able to break through the defense line of the Russian army, whether in the Donbass region, the Zaporozhye region or in the Kherson region. It is worth noting that most of the results achieved were due to the active retreat of the Russian army rather than the attack of the Ukrainian army. The ** operation of the Ukrainian army can be described as a complete failure.
However, Zelensky **has not yet gotten rid of the predicament caused by the defeat of the Ukrainian army**, and they are facing a new problem, that is, the military assistance of the United States and NATO to Ukraine has begun to decrease. Zelenskyy is well aware of the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis, but he is counting on China's assistance to solve the current dilemma. Recently, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin visited Kyiv with $100 million worth of new military support, giving Ukraine a glimmer of hope.
This is undoubtedly an impressive moment for Ukraine. Putin's latest surprising remark has drawn renewed attention to the crisis in Ukraine. However, for Zelensky**, this sentence seems to be a belated apology. Because he himself clearly knows the reasons for the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, he knows better than anyone.
Zelensky ** has been in a difficult situation when it comes to military assistance. Despite the generous aid of $100 million from the United States, this could only sustain half a day's combat expenses. This is almost a drop in the bucket compared to the need for at least $6 billion in military aid per month.
The U.S. says it's the only thing they can do right now. Obviously, Ukraine will not receive any significant military support until the end of the United States. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zelensky**.
Faced with the threat of defeat at one step away, Zelensky began to look for other ways out. He turned his attention to China and hoped that it would help him through the crisis. In an interview, he stressed that ceasefire negotiations can only be opened if Russian troops withdraw, and hoped that China would be more determined to participate in the 10-point peace plan talks.
Zelensky has high hopes for China because of its significant influence in respecting territorial integrity. He hopes that China can use its influence to push Russia to withdraw its troops voluntarily and thus end the military conflict.
Putin's surprise remarks also added some complications to the Ukraine crisis. He said it was important to think about how to end the "tragic" Russia-Ukraine war. This seems to be a kind of subtle apology for his actions, and at the same time provides Zelensky with some kind of opportunity.
Although the Ukrainian crisis is far from being resolved, Zelensky's pinning his hopes on China's assistance has brought a glimmer of hope to him and the entire Ukrainian people. May China's unwavering support bring about a turnaround for Ukraine and bring this crisis to an end as soon as possible.
At present, the situation in Ukraine is grim, and Putin has actually used the word "war" instead of the ordinary "special military operation", and even called the conflict in Ukraine a "tragedy". This is really a wave of heavy news. Russia has completely abandoned the trick of dragging out the conflict in Ukraine and is now trying to draw global attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East.
For **, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think about it, if they can win a beautiful battle in this conflict, Russia's status and influence on the international stage will be rubbed off, don't be too amazing. But then again, Mr. Zelensky still hopes that China can mediate to resolve this dispute. However, he also has to understand that if he wants to leave the country, he has to show his sincerity and attitude. A gestaltic challenge awaited him.
