As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its second year, the world's attention has refocused on this geographical issue. The statement of the United States on January 14 on stopping the provision of military support to Ukraine immediately triggered a strong reaction around the world. But surprisingly, the Ukrainian army did not fall into a desperate situation because of this, on the contrary, they showed a resolute will to continue fighting.
Russia's "Independent" newspaper said in a report on January 29 that it still controls the important strategic targets behind the Ukrainian army and continues to attack. Although the Ukrainian army had to go on the defensive, its arms reserves showed no signs of decreasing. This situation shows that the Ukrainian army still has enough strength to fight the ** army.
It should be pointed out that although the United States has announced the suspension of aid to Ukraine, Pentagon planes are still frequently engaged in exchanges between the territory of the United States and the Rzeszow region of Poland, which cannot but cause speculation about its real purpose. At the same time, NATO countries have also begun to secretly help Ukraine, trying to play a more important role in the war.
Figures released by the BBC in December show that the United States has become the largest arms nation since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, followed by Germany, Poland and other countries to join the rescue of Ukraine. In the end, the Ukrainian army received 65 battle tanks from the West and a variety of other high-level weapons. This equipment not only improves the combat capability of the Ukrainian army, but also ensures that they can continue to fight.
However, Russia is not worried about the armament reserves of the Ukrainian army. According to the 2024 global military power ranking released by "World Firepower"**, Russia currently has 10,000 main tanks, 110,000 infantry fighting vehicles, and 4,346 self-propelled guns. Such armaments are sufficient for Russia to remain strong in the event of a war.
However, Russia is currently more concerned about NATO than the help that the Ukrainian army can get from Europe, whether there is an end for NATO. Another concern for Russia is the revelation of Germany's "secret plans". The plan shows that Germany intends to put 30,000 troops into battle by 2025 in order to wage a war with NATO against Russia in 2025. This means that in the future, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will launch an even more intense attack on Russia.
Therefore, on the second anniversary of the Russian-Ukrainian war, although the United States suspended its aid to Ukraine, Ukraine still received strong support from the West. Russia is the most vocal country in the world, but at the same time it is necessary to be highly vigilant. There are still many uncertainties about what the situation in the region will look like in the future.
