Although Zelensky relieved Zaluzhny of his post and replaced his most trusted man, Syrsky, the new commander did not bring much good news. Not long ago, Syrsky also said in front of the public that the Ukrainian army is now in a difficult situation, so he decided to switch from offensive to defensive, and he hopes that Ukraine can recruit 450,000 to 500,000 troops to support the front line in the shortest possible time. This condition has been repeated many times by Zaluzhny.
Syrsky has ordered Ukrainian troops to withdraw from the important Donbas town of Avdevka in recent days, declaring that this is due to "the need to protect the lives and bodies of the fighters." To put it more directly, Syrsky is well aware that if these Ukrainian troops hold on, what awaits them will be death, and the only way out is a quick retreat. According to the intelligence we have, the Ukrainian army is inferior to the Russians in terms of equipment and strength.
Now the Russian-Ukrainian war has entered a very important period, and after more than two years of fighting, it is only necessary to see which side can hold on. Avdevka is a strategic location in Ukraine, and since the Ukrainian army has chosen this place, it means that the Russians have an absolute advantage, because they are in dire need of resources and manpower, and reinforcements from the west have been delayed. If the ** people launch an attack at this time, then the Ukrainian forces will be completely defeated. This makes it difficult for European and American countries to tolerate, they are not likely to sit idly by and ignore the Russians, and they are not willing to go toe-to-toe with the Russians. The current NATO army is not yet capable of confronting the elite forces of Russia.
It is conceivable that the current Western countries must be very nervous, worried that Ukraine will not be able to hold on to the arrival of new rescue from the United States. So they have to find another way to prevent Russia from attacking in the near future. Putin's biggest attention right now will not be on the Russian-Ukrainian war, he will put all his attention on the ** in March. Although Putin is sure to win, he will never let his guard down, because there is still a lot of resistance within Russia.
However, at this juncture, Putin got a piece of news that made him very unhappy. Russian opposition leader Navalny, who is considered Putin's strongest rival, died in prison. Navalny is an important figure in Russia, winning the support of numerous anti-Putin groups within Russia, as well as some Western groups. It also infuriated Putin. Because Navalny was suspected of being poisoned, the West believes that Putin did it. And this time, the 48-year-old Navalny died violently in prison, which is believed to have been killed by the Russian ** who killed the man known as the "fighter".
Zakharova, a Russian news woman, strongly condemned this, and she immediately refuted it. "The cause of Navalny's death is still under further investigation, and we have not yet determined the cause of his death, but now, people in Western countries insist that Russia did it, and they say the same, and it is clear that it was all premeditated," she said.
Objectively speaking, this is just a reason to attack Putin, and Navalny himself is in prison, and he poses no threat to Putin. In addition, according to Russian regulations, Navalny's case record does not allow him to run for election**. Putin has no reason to attack him now, in that case, he will only ask for his own suffering.
So, at this point in time, Navalny was put in a cell, either because of his physical condition or because of something else. However, no one really cares about the cause of Navalny's death, and Navalny's death has become another "poison bomb" against Putin.
