Recently, there is a news that has attracted a lot of attention, that is, the Ukrainian military announced that on the night of August 24, they sent the Navy and **, infiltrated the Crimean peninsula, exchanged fire with Russian troops, and planted Ukrainian flags on the peninsula. This is a "special military operation" that demonstrates the ability and determination of the Ukrainian army to launch an attack on Crimea at any time and in any place. This news sounds shocking, but what is the truth?
The Russian side has a completely different version of the matter, saying that this is just a Ukrainian "flash mob performance art" that has no combat value. They said that Ukraine just sent 4 speedboats, carrying dozens of armed men, to secretly board a campsite in Crimea, pose a few times, take a few photos, and then they were discovered by Russian security guards, one of whom even wore only swimming trunks and short sleeves, and drove them away with a shotgun. Russia also published **, proving their claims. They say that this operation in Ukraine is only to give an account to themselves and their supporters of the West and cover up their failures on the battlefield.
In fact, Ukraine's big ** plan has been hit by Russia's strong blows, and the Ukrainian army has suffered heavy losses, low morale, and insufficient troops, unable to cause a substantial breakthrough in Russia's defense. Russia, on the other hand, has destroyed Ukrainian military targets, eliminated hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers, and controlled the initiative on the battlefield with cruise missiles and other precision ** in multiple directions. The West** has also expressed disappointment with the military operation in Ukraine, believing that the situation in Ukraine is becoming more and more unfavorable, and the time and conditions are on the side of Russia.
These "performance arts" in Ukraine are just a means of bluffing, trying to increase some confidence in themselves and the West and to get more assistance. But this does not change the general dynamics of the war, nor does it hide their incompetence and corruption. For the sake of "international view", Ukraine may continue to engage in such small actions, but this will only make them more ridiculous and pathetic.
