The spring is cold, and the land of Eastern Europe is full of fire. It is reported that Ukraine's ** Zelensky ordered the withdrawal of troops from the eastern frontline city of Avdeyevka, causing an uproar in the world. One has to ask: why did Ukraine flee? Is it really to "save the lives of our soldiers"?
At the Munich Security Conference, Zelensky said frankly: "In order to avoid being surrounded, the Ukrainian army decided to withdraw to other fronts." As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar. RIA Novosti reported that Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov accused Ukrainian troops of having begun to flee the city uncontrollably, while Zelensky gave the evacuation order only a day later. The twists and turns in this are thought-provoking.
Avdeyevka, a city on the northern outskirts of Donetsk, has long been a strong fortress for the powerful sectors of Ukraine. It is not only an industrial center, but also the key to establishing "complete fire control" over Donetsk. In order to seize this place, the Russian army did not hesitate to launch a full-scale offensive. However, the Ukrainian army chose to retreat at this critical moment. Why is that?
1. Preserve the vitality and outwit the future
The soldiers are not many but fine, and they will not be brave but strategic. "Zelensky is well aware that the Ukrainian army has consumed a lot of the resources of the Russian army in Avdeyevka and caused losses to tens of thousands of its troops. At this time, the Ukrainian army has completed its mission here. In order to avoid greater losses, the Ukrainian army chose to retreat in order to preserve the living forces and prepare for the future. As *** said: "War is the continuation of politics." "Ukraine's retreat this time may be precisely to better protect its own interests in the future political struggle.
2. Recognize the situation and assess the situation
Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle. "Ukraine recognizes that in the current situation, it is not wise to fight hard with the Russian army. The Russian army launched an offensive on Avdeyevka from three directions, with heavy attacks on the northern, southeastern and southern fronts. In order to keep this strategic town, Ukraine had to commit more reserves, including the elite 3rd Separate Assault Brigade. However, the situation remains grim, and the Ukrainian army is at a disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower. Faced with such a situation, the Ukrainian army chose to retreat in order to avoid greater losses. This kind of wisdom of judging the situation is the embodiment of the idea of "seeking truth from facts" advocated by ***.
Third, the strategic shift to seek greater victory
Soldiers, treacherous ways. "Ukraine's retreat may be aimed at implementing a larger-scale strategic shift. By retreating, Ukraine can confuse the enemy and create the illusion of the enemy in order to achieve greater victories in future battles. This kind of strategic thinking is the tactical embodiment of "soldiers are not tired of cheating" advocated by ***.
The latest situation in Russia and Ukraine To sum up, Ukraine's retreat in Avdeyevka is not a simple rout, but a well-thought-out strategic decision. They prepare for future battles by preserving their vital forces, recognizing the situation, and implementing strategic shifts. This kind of wisdom and courage is exactly what we should learn in the face of difficulties and challenges.
