As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its 728th day, Ukraine's stubborn struggle has become more and more prominent under the eyes of the world. A fierce battle broke out again at the training base in Trudivsky, Donetsk Oblast, where the Ukrainian army destroyed the Russian army's defense line with three Hippocampus rockets, causing dozens of people, showing the combat effectiveness and determination of the Ukrainian army.
On the battlefield, over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian army has launched a number of fierce confrontations with the Russian army. On the battlefield of Avdiivka, a Russian column with only 1 tank and 6 armored vehicles tried to capture Lastochkyne, west of the city, but ended in a crushing defeat. Armored vehicles were destroyed, infantry was hit by drones, and only one tank was evacuated with difficulty. And on the newly opened Shevchenko front, a huge mechanized column of the Russian army was completely annihilated by the soldiers of the 58th Brigade, and there were no survivors. The brutality of the battle highlights the indomitable nature of the Ukrainian army, as well as the resolute defense of its homeland.
On the Marinka front, the Russian army launched another offensive on Pobjeda, and despite the dire situation, the Ukrainian army sent reinforcements to stabilize the situation and stop the further advance of the Russian army. On the Dnieper front, Russia claimed to have liberated Klinki, but the Ukrainian side and some observers questioned this, pointing out that the geographical location of ** is east of the positions of the Ukrainian army and is already in a gray area, which may be a false propaganda created by some individuals in order to obtain military merits.
In the face of Russia's provocations, Ukraine has not only fought valiantly on the battlefield, but has also received broad support from the international community. Sweden has announced the largest military aid package to Ukraine, worth up to SEK 71 billion, and Canada will donate more than 800 SkyR70 multi-mission drones worth more than $95 million. This international assistance not only provides a strong backing for Ukraine, but also sends a clear signal to Russia that the international community will not sit idly by and will fully support Ukraine's struggle.
At the same time, Ukraine's determination to resist Russian aggression is also reflected in its military equipment. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine revealed that the Goryeo missiles that attacked Ukraine were almost entirely composed of American and European components, which shows that even under the technological blockade, Ukraine is still able to acquire advanced ** and effectively counter Russian aggression.
In addition to confrontation on the battlefield, war also plays out different stories on the international stage. Russian Captain Sergei Lavrov solemnly unveiled the monument to Pushkin in the South American country of Venezuela, while Eastern European countries have demolished the statue of Pushkin. This confrontation extends not only on the battlefield but also into the cultural and ideological realms, reflecting the international community's shared opposition to Russia's expansionist ambitions.
Looking back at history, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the revolution in Ukraine's Square, one cannot help but think of the February 20, 2014, when the Russian army began an operation to seize Crimea, which marked the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Over the past 10 years, the Ukrainian people have endured countless trials and tribulations, but their spirit of resistance has never wavered.
However, in the face of Russia's provocations, the international community cannot sit idly by. According to Sputnik, NATO representatives discussed at the Munich Security Conference whether preparations should be made for a possible Russian attack on NATO member states. German Defense Minister Pistorius warned that while it is impossible to know for sure when the attack will occur, the possibility cannot be ignored and that a setback in Ukraine could lead to continued expansion of Russian forces towards NATO's borders.
The support and assistance of the international community has injected new strength and hope into Ukraine, allowing it to maintain a strong posture on the battlefield. Russia's aggression not only threatens the security and stability of Ukraine, but also challenges the justice and order of the international community.
