The Russian army captured an important town in eastern Ukraine, Zelensky fell into a crisis, and Belarus provided a "life talisman".
Recently, the United States and the West have paid attention to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has made the conflict between Russia and Ukraine more and more clear. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported that the Russian army's success in capturing Maryinka, an important town in eastern Ukraine, has become the most significant progress.
Marinka's strategic location, close proximity to key highways, and access to Zaporizhzhia Oblast from multiple directions has a profound impact on the situation in Ukraine. Satisfied with this progress, Putin plans to clear the combat units of the Ukrainian army in the eastern part of Ukraine and further consolidate the area under control.
This news will have a huge impact on Ukraine, the treasury is about to run out, the arsenal is destroyed, and it is impossible to call up new soldiers. The loss of key strategic locations has put Ukraine in a precarious position.
Facing the most desperate moment, Ukraine may ask NATO to send troops to the Russian border, but Belarusian Lukashenko's statement killed its last hope. Belarus claims to be learning to operate Russia's tactical nuclear ** and to strengthen relations with Russia in order to deter NATO.
The attitude of Belarus has made NATO countries dare not act rashly, and the West seems to have abandoned Ukraine. Russia may re-establish relations with the West after attrition of rage. According to the source, NATO countries have sent signals of peace talks through different channels, but Zelensky may not be included.
Belarus seems to have sent a "life talisman" to Ukraine, making Zelensky face a more limited time and retreat.
