Although the Ukrainian army held out in Avdeyevka, it was eventually captured by the Russian army. In the face of the loss of Avdeyevka, the United States and Europe did not take substantive action, and the White House even shifted the blame to the US Congress.
In this situation, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba turned to China for help. In fact, the loss of Avdeyevka is inevitable because of three disadvantages in Ukraine.
First of all, they do not have an advantage in manpower and firepower. According to reports, in the battle of Avdeyevka, the Ukrainian army dispatched more than 40,000 troops, including 5 brigades and several special operations regiments.
At first glance, they seem to have a lot of troops, but they are still at a disadvantage compared to the 7 brigades sent by the Russian army. In addition, Russia also dispatched nearly 240 tanks and thousands of artillery pieces in the campaign.
In the Battle of Avdeyevka, the defeat of the Ukrainian army was not caused by a single reason, but was the result of a combination of factors. First of all, the Ukrainian army lacks air power support, which makes it necessary for the Ukrainian army to achieve victory in medium and large battles.
Secondly, the long-term lack of assistance from the United States and the West has led to the lack of ammunition for the Ukrainian army, which cannot compete with the well-prepared Russian army. Finally, the change of commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army also dealt a blow to the morale of the army.
Although the new commander-in-chief Syrsky is an experienced veteran, Zelensky's behavior of "changing generals on the spot" with the former commander-in-chief Zaluzh will undoubtedly affect the morale of the army.
In conclusion, the defeat in the Battle of Avdeyevka was the result of a combination of factors, and not a single cause.
Zelensky noted that whether the Ukrainian army is strong enough will determine whether they can control the war situation. In the battle of Avdeyevka, the Ukrainian army was at a disadvantage due to the lack of shells and long-range strikes**.
He stressed that the failure of the United States and the West to provide sufficient ** ammunition led to the defeat of the Ukrainian army. This is embarrassing for the United States, especially since the United States has not yet passed the Ukraine aid bill.
The White House blamed the U.S. Congress, claiming that the Ukrainian army was short of ammunition because Congress failed to pass the bill. However, some people disagree with this view, including former CIA analyst Giraldi.
In his opinion, relying on the support of the United States and NATO will not lead the Ukrainian army to victory in the battle of Avdeyevka. In addition, he quoted the words of a US congressman and said that it is a waste of money to continue to aid Ukraine.
As a result, there was disagreement within the United States about the defeat in the Battle of Avdeyevka.
Although the loss of Avdeyevka has become a reality, Ukraine's most urgent need is to receive assistance from the United States and the West as soon as possible. However, the progress of US and Western aid is still slow and is just empty talk.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba sought China's help at the Muan meeting, hoping that China could participate in the promotion of the Ukrainian peace plan and receive China's assistance. In this regard, Wang Yi said that the Ukraine crisis has nothing to do with China, but China is willing to actively participate in promoting a peaceful solution.
Wang Yi is indeed right, the current Russia-Ukraine conflict is not directly related to China, mainly due to the instigation of the United States and the West. As a result, China can step in to help resolve the issue to some extent, but it needs to remain neutral and avoid getting bogged down in disputes.
