Ukrainian military's strategic goal adjustment: from reconquista to the elimination of Russian soldiersUkraine recently announced that it will no longer make reconquista a primary goal, but will turn its attention to the elimination of Russian soldiers. This adjustment has aroused widespread concern. Over the past six months, Ukraine has been claiming to have carried out ** and claimed to have recaptured a large amount of territory, but the actual effect has not been recognized by the Western bloc. The Ukrainian military faces enormous challenges and needs to deal with Russia's superiority in military power and the impact of information operations.
Against this background, it is imperative for the Ukrainian military to adjust its strategic objectives. So, how does Ukraine respond to the current predicament?Ukraine had a clear gap in military power with Russia before the conflict broke out, and Russia's surprise attack caused significant losses to the Ukrainian military. Not only has it lost a lot of military personnel and equipment, but Ukraine has also lost control over several regions. In such a difficult situation, the Ukrainian military needs to adjust its strategic goals and focus on eliminating Russian soldiers.
The prolonged attrition of the war has put the Ukrainian economy under heavy pressure. Ukraine needs to continuously invest human, material and financial resources to maintain the combat capability of its army, but due to its limited economic strength, the war has taken a serious toll on its economy. In addition, the support of the international community is relatively insufficient, and even some Western countries have expressed their reluctance to provide **. In this situation, the Ukrainian military urgently needs to adjust its strategic goals.
Russia has a clear advantage in the field of information operations, influencing the decision-making and operational effectiveness of the Ukrainian military through cyber strikes, battlefield feints and other means. Therefore, the Ukrainian military urgently needs to strengthen its own capabilities in the field of modern warfare to better respond to Russian interference and influence. This is also one of the important reasons for adjusting strategic objectives. The Ukrainian military has adjusted its strategic goals and is no longer in a hurry to advance, but is focusing on the elimination of Russian soldiers.
In the face of enormous challenges and difficulties, Ukraine needs to take into account its own strength, resources and the support of the international community in an effort to cope with the current predicament. In the war, how to better use Ukraine's own advantages, defuse external pressure, and turn the tide of the war has become an urgent issue to be considered. What are your thoughts on this?
