In recent days, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia seems to have entered a critical turning point. The German newspaper broke the news that the United States and Germany are secretly negotiating to force Ukraine's Zelensky to accept peace talks and give up the idea of attacking. This means that Ukraine has lost the ability to continue to retake territory and can only hold the front by going on the defensive. While Ukraine has always claimed that they have successfully forced their way across the Dnieper River to gain a foothold in the Kherson region, in reality this is only a gesture. In the face of the attitude of the Western bloc, as well as the attention of the United States to the Palestinian-Israeli situation, it is only a matter of time before Ukraine is gradually abandoned. Although Ukraine is trying to put the blame on the UK, claiming that British Prime Minister Johnson has sabotaged the process of the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks, judging from the motives of the West, it is likely that this is a self-directed and self-staged performance by the Ukrainian leadership. It is undeniable that the Ukrainians have pinned their fate on the West, but in exchange for bloodshed and sacrifice, high debts and the country's **, it is sad. Russia, on the other hand, realized the trend of all this, and in order to gain more bargaining chips in future negotiations, launched a fatal blow directly to Ukraine.
The situation facing Ukraine is becoming more and more serious, and they are gradually realizing that they cannot continue to defeat Russia, and can only choose peace talks to avoid a bigger **. Many people may think that Ukraine was forced to do this, but in reality, they also have many considerations of their own. Over the past few years, Ukraine has constantly sought the support of Western countries to counter Russia through their assistance. However, Western countries did not give Ukraine enough support, otherwise Ukraine would not have found itself in such a situation. Ukraine had to admit this and began to think about changing tactics and negotiating with Russia in order to find a peaceful solution. Ukraine's evasion of responsibility by putting the blame on the head of the United Kingdom, while potentially a political ploy, also reflects the fact that Ukraine has realized that its alliance with the West has broken down and that they need to fight for better negotiating conditions from Russia.
On the frontal battlefield of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia began a series of onslaughts in an attempt to seize important strategic points. In particular, for the two strongholds of Avdiivka and Maryinka in Donetsk, the Russian army launched a continuous offensive. Ukrainian ** Zelensky has publicly stated that the situation in the defense of Avdiivka has become very urgent. Once Avdiivka is occupied by the Russian army, there will be huge holes in Ukraine's defense line, and the entire Donetsk region will most likely fall into Russian hands. In addition, the Russian army has taken further actions outside the frontal battlefield, launching attacks on Ukraine's power facilities. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia dispatched 75 drones to carry out air strikes on Ukraine at one time, and the targets were Ukrainian power facilities. Although the Ukrainian army claimed to have shot down 71 of them, four drones managed to destroy the electricity of about 16,000 homes**. In the cold winter, the Ukrainian people in Kyiv will face severe cold and serious power supply problems.
Russia's onslaught on Ukraine is not limited to frontal battlefields, they have also launched devastating attacks on Ukraine's power facilities. This is an obvious strategic choice to further weaken their ability to resist by destroying Ukraine's electricity** and making it more difficult for Ukraine. The Ukrainian Air Force confirmed that in the early hours of November 25, Russia launched an airstrike in Ukrainian airspace with a large number of drones at once. The target of these drone strikes is very clear, which is to target Ukraine's power facilities. Ukraine claims to have shot down 71 of the drones, but four of them have managed to destroy the power of about 16,000 homes**, leaving Kyiv and other places in a state of severe power shortage. Winters in Ukraine are already cold, and if we add to this the power outages, the Ukrainian people will face an extremely difficult and difficult winter.
Summarizing the above analysis of the situation, the situation facing Ukraine can be described as serious. The Ukrainian defense line is precarious, important strongholds may be occupied by Russia, and the power ** is also seriously damaged. Ukraine has almost lost the ability to fight Russia and can only be forced to accept peace talks and strive for better conditions at the negotiating table. Ukraine is isolated in this conflict, and Western aid is far from enough. The Ukrainian people are about to experience a cold winter, both in the cold of the climate and in the indifference of the situation. Ukrainians need to recognize their own mistakes and re-examine relations with the West. The real solution is to find an independent path, focus on self-development, and seek mutually beneficial cooperation, rather than pinning all hopes on external forces. Otherwise, Ukraine is destined to pay an even greater price and suffer a defeat in this conflict.
