There are new changes in the situation on the front line in Ukraine,Russian armyTaking advantage of the onslaught, the Ukrainian army had to withdraw part of its positions by rapidly advancing in Maryinka, Avdiivka and other directions. Among them, Avadiivka remainsRussian armyThe main direction of attack. They are advancing to the western outskirts with air-ground coordination tactics in an attempt to complete the strategic encirclement of the Avadiivka urban area. In addition,Russian armySome progress has also been made in Maryinka, the Kupyansk-Svatove-Kreminna line, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, etc. The Ukrainian army is confrontingRussian armyThere were also limited counterattacks, but most of the operations did not make substantial progress.
Judging from the battle reports of all parties,Russian armyAvadiivka is still the main direction of attack. They are trying to advance to the western outskirts with air-ground coordination tactics to complete the strategic encirclement of the Avadiivka urban area. Especially in the vicinity of the village of Stepové, north-west of AvadiivkaRussian armyA number of tactical breakthroughs have been made, and the city borders have been reached. In addition,Russian armyAlso began to attack the new one, which is about 9 km from AvadiivkaIn Mutiivka and other places, despite being blocked by the Ukrainian army, the Ukrainian side claims that they repelled it within a dayRussian army42 offenses.
FaceRussian armyThe Ukrainian army withdrew part of its positions on several fronts. The main purpose of this operation is to reduce the consumption of goods and materials, while trying to maintain the front line until waiting for the arrival of new large-scale aid. The reason why the Ukrainian army withdrew from its positions, exceptRussian armyIn addition to the strong attack, it is also possible to work withKievoverall strategic adjustment. Ukraine** Zelensky has been very tough before, resolutely saying that the Ukrainian army will not take a step back and will continue to counterattack. Recently, however, the Ukrainian top leadership changed this position after a high-level meeting, emphasizing that building defense is a top priority.
The Ukrainian army has not been able to achieve much due to the ** that has lasted for months, plusRussian armyThe continuous offensive and the lack of Western aid are already in a state of exhaustion. They do not have the ability to continue to launch a large-scale counterattack, nor do they have the manpower and material resources to do soRussian armyFight to the end on every position. Therefore, the abandonment of part of the positions on multiple fronts and the retreat are largely aimed at reducing **, reducing material consumption, and maintaining the front as much as possible in preparation for another battle in the future. However, the issue of Ukrainian aid has also caused trouble for the Ukrainian side. On the issue of US and EU assistance to Ukraine, there are more and more voices in the West calling for a reduction in aid to Ukraine, which makes the road to assistance from Ukraine not smooth.
Zelensky's visit to the United States, aid is still looking for Ukraine** Zelensky unfortunately failed to obtain the Ukrainian assistance he expected during his visit to the United States while the Ukrainian army withdrew from its positions. U.S. CongressWhen the bill on aid to Ukraine was discussed, it was vetoed due to Republican demands for increased spending on border protection. Although Zelenskyy received a new aid package totaling $200 million during his visit to the United States, this could be one of the last aid that Ukraine can receive if Congress fails to approve the appropriations bill. And $200 million in aid is only enough for the Ukrainian army to maintain the front in the short term.
According to observations, the political environment for a conditional settlement of the Ukrainian crisis is ripening. However, due to the obvious differences between the two sides on the bottom line of the peace talks, and the potential influence of the US-led NATO bloc, Russia and Ukraine are not willing to take the first crucial step. Therefore, the tug-of-war between the two sides on the battlefield will continue until a new major turn occurs.
Overall, the change in the situation in Ukraine has made the situation more tense, and the Ukrainian army is thereRussian armyThe evacuation of positions under the offensive is to reduce ** and resource consumption. At the same time, Zelensky's efforts to seek assistance from the United States have not yet yielded the desired results, and the issue of assistance to Ukraine remains difficult. The conditions are ripe for a political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, but the two sides disagree on the bottom line of peace talks, which leads to the temporary blockage of further actions. Therefore, the war situation in Ukraine is still full of uncertainty and needs to be further observed developments.
