In the last month of 2023, Ukraine fell into a crisis, and Western countries slashed aid to Zelensky**, making the Ukrainian army passive on the battlefield. Russia seized the opportunity and began a full-scale offensive on important strongholds in eastern Ukraine. Makarin, as the "western gate" of the city of Donetsk, is under the full control of the Russian army, and the Ukrainian army has been forced to withdraw. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny revealed that Avdeyevka is expected to fall into Russian hands "within two to three months." The situation in Ukraine is precarious, with the danger of losing more key positions, and the situation is becoming more serious as the offensive of the Russian army continues unabated. Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast is at risk of losing its last key stronghold, Redman, which would put Ukraine under even greater pressure. Russia's offensive operations have been limited due to cold weather, but once spring begins, the pace of the Russian army's advance may accelerate. It seems that the Russian army does not intend to leave Ukraine with any respite. According to reports, the Russian Aerospace Forces launched fierce attacks, launching attacks on several Ukrainian oblasts, and the willingness of the Russian Aerospace Forces to participate in the war has clearly exacerbated Ukraine's predicament.
Ukraine is facing a serious challenge, and the international community is closely watching its fate. At this critical juncture, the question of how Ukraine will respond to Russia's full-scale offensive and how the international community will engage is before us. In the face of strong pressure from Russia, Ukraine needs more support and assistance, and the international community needs to unite to jointly maintain regional peace and stability. It is hoped that Ukraine will be able to persevere in this serious challenge, and the international community will also give them the necessary support and assistance. Ukraine is facing a heavy attack from the Russian Aerospace Forces, and the MiG-31 fighter has become a key platform for the Russian army to launch the "Dagger" hypersonic missile. This hypersonic missile can easily break through all current Ukrainian air defenses and has the potential to inflict a fatal blow on key facilities of the Ukrainian army. Under the attack of the Russian Aerospace Forces, there have been frequent ** in various parts of Ukraine, and air defense sirens have also constantly echoed in the skies over the eastern half of Ukraine. Such a blow has demoralized Ukraine, and there are many worries about the future.
Since the beginning of winter this year, Russia has begun to launch attacks on Ukraine's key facilities such as energy, communications, and transportation with thousands of cruise missiles and a large number of drones that it had previously hoarded in places such as Crimea. Ukraine is facing the toughest challenge of this winter. Today, Ukraine is no longer able to carry out a large-scale active offensive against Russia, and the Ukrainian soldiers on the front line have also paid a huge price in recent months. In order to recruit more soldiers, Ukrainian Prime Minister Shmygal has submitted two bills that significantly increase the severity of the conscription process. The first bill lowered the minimum age for conscription for Ukrainian reservists from 27 to 25, and there are nearly 400,000 Ukrainian men in this range. These Ukrainian men will have to go to the conscription department to register and wait for the call-up. Once approved, the recruitment text message will be sent to the mobile phones of these Ukrainian men. The second bill is that Zelensky will increase the punishment for ignoring conscripts. Prior to this, if a Ukrainian man of school age refused to be recruited, Ukrainian** would impose a fine on him and freeze his bank account. Today, Ukraine** also punishes those who ignore the call-in with imprisonment.
For those Ukrainian men of school age who fled abroad, Zelensky** also took corresponding measures. Zelensky** demanded that Ukrainian men of working age living abroad must be included in Ukraine's military register before they can be eligible for a new document issued by the consulate. After learning the news, the Ukrainian man living abroad was very panicked. According to reference news, on December 29, thousands of Ukrainians rushed to Warsaw, the capital of Poland, to apply for passports. Ukraine** has recently stepped up its conscription, which shows that they are preparing to maintain a confrontation with Russia. Zelensky seems to be determined to keep the Ukrainian people fighting Russia to the end. The decision has sparked concerns and discussions about Ukraine's future. On this issue, we can't help but ask, is the initiative of Ukraine ** correct?What will be the impact of their decision on the Ukrainian people?Let's dive in. First of all, we need to understand that the situation in Ukraine is quite complicated. Since the Crimean crisis in 2014, the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine has been in turmoil. Russia-backed ** forces have waged armed conflict there, resulting in thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions.
The conflict has also made the social and political situation in Ukraine more tense. In this case, it seems reasonable for Ukraine to step up conscription and try to defend the territorial integrity of the country. However, this move by Ukraine has also sparked some controversy. Some fear that the intensification of conscription could exacerbate tensions in Ukrainian society and could even trigger a larger conflict. In addition, there is still a large gap between Ukraine's military power and Russia's, which also raises concerns about Ukraine's ability to respond to a potential conflict. In addition to military considerations, we also need to pay attention to the impact of this move on Ukrainian society and economy. The intensification of conscription will lead to more young people being drafted into the army, which may have some impact on Ukraine's labor market. In addition, military conflicts are often accompanied by economic turmoil, and if the situation deteriorates further, Ukraine's economy could be hit even harder. In the face of these challenges, Ukraine** needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons and deal with them prudently. They need to seek support and help at home and abroad, and rely on diplomacy to seek peaceful solutions to regional conflicts.
At the same time, they also need to strengthen domestic social stability and improve people's livelihood, resolve social contradictions, and reduce the possibility of conflict. In general, Ukraine's initiative to strengthen conscription reflects their determination to preserve the territorial integrity of the country, but it has also raised some concerns and controversies. In the face of an increasingly complex regional situation, Ukraine** needs to respond cautiously and strive to find a peaceful and stable solution. Only in this way can a more solid foundation be laid for the future development of Ukraine.
