On March 2, 2014, the Russian 31st Guards Air Assault Brigade was ordered to take off the military emblem and national emblem to parachute into Crimea.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine gave an order to the Ukrainian army in Crimea: immediately to the little green men **!
But the order released by the high-level traitors was completely opposite to the order of the base shop, and the Ukrainian army couldn't tell who to listen to, and it was too late to determine the ** order, and the little green man occupied important positions such as the committee building, the minister's building, the armory, the airport, and raised the Russian flag.
The Acting Commander of the Ukrainian Navy and the 240 Tactical Aviation Brigade defected at the Balbek airbase, and the 50, 55 and 147 missile air defense regiments were urgently reinforced, and unexpectedly, these three regiments also defected....
The army and air force mutinied one after another, and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine sent the navy, and the Russian Black Sea Fleet sank an anti-submarine destroyer of the Ukrainian Navy, blocking the rest of the ** in the port and unable to move.
On March 16, Russia rigged a referendum to declare Crimea part of Russia with 78 votes in favor, 0 votes against, and 8 abstentions.
At this time, Ukraine is powerless, and when several Western reporters asked Russia ** Putin about this, the initiator shrugged his shoulders: "The Kremlin is not clear about this matter, and the invader's equipment can be bought for $200 on Amazon....”
Why was Russia able to do so easily? The key to success was to do your homework in advance and finally take Crimea in a five-pronged move.
By provoking internal contradictions in Ukraine, Yanukovych broke with the pro-Europeans. In February 2014, Ukraine set off an anti-Russophile Yanukovych movement, Yanukovych fled to Russia after being ousted, the Ukrainian leadership was vacuumed, and the country was also in chaos, and there was no time to take care of Crimea.
Ukrainian officers and soldiers in Crimea were bought from top to bottom, and even the commander of the Navy declared allegiance to Crimea, not Ukraine.
In February 2014, Russia's 31st Guards Air Assault Brigade parachuted into Crimea under the guise of military exercises. The little green men, with the assistance of pro-Russian forces, took control of important facilities such as airports and ports, and completed the actual occupation.
After the actual control of Crimea, Russia's domestic ** experts have appeared one after another, setting the tone by tampering with history:
Crimea has been Russian territory since ancient times. ”
Remember that this is a return, a reunion, Crimea is coming home! ”
The ownership of Crimea must be left to the people of Crimea to decide for themselves, whether to remain in Ukraine or return to Russia. ”
Crimea is 52% ethnic Russian, and the war is very effective.
On March 16, 2014, a referendum voted 97% to join Russia, and the legislature followed suit at the same time - legislating and passing.
Look, who said polar bears only have brute strength and no brains? The means are no worse than Uncle Sam.
Everything is a double-edged sword, and if Russia can stop there, Crimea will always be surnamed "Russia".
But greed never ends, after the "Minsk agreements", Russia tried to annex Donetsk and Lugansk Oblast by the same means, a large number of Russian soldiers disguised as Donbass militia and local rebels joined forces, and began to plan the independence of the three eastern regions of Ukraine, due to the counterattack of the Ukrainian army, only a part of the area was controlled.
In Odessa, the riot planned by Russian intelligence was also extinguished by the Ukrainian army.
This is Russia's usual means of seeking to seize the territory of other countries: inciting national sentiments Military personnel act as the backbone of the insurrection Provide local radicals with ** to launch a rebellion disguised as a democratic referendum, such as:
On October 22, 1945, he planned a referendum in Mongolia.
In 1944, he planned the famous "Three Districts Rebellion" in China.
After defeating Georgia on 26 August 2008, he orchestrated referendums in South Ossetia and Abkhazia to secede from Georgia.
Ukraine is desperate, no one knows their big brother better than the Ukrainians, from the beginning of the 17th century since Eastern Ukraine was incorporated into the Russian Empire more than 300 years, the Ukrainians have experienced a terrible famine and witnessed how the big brother tore up all the treaties signed and devoured them.
To the west, the Soviet-German Brest Treaty, the Soviet-Polish Non-Aggression Pact, the Soviet-Estonian Tartu Pact, the Soviet-Finnish Non-Aggression Pact, and the Soviet-Baltic Treaty of Mutual Assistance were ......To the east, tear up the Treaty of Nebuchu, the Treaty of Brenski, the Sino-Russian Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary, and the Treaty of Beijing, ......
After learning from the painful experience, Ukraine has completely abandoned the illusion of neutrality, vigorously developed its armaments, and made every effort to de-Russify ......8 years of lying on the back and finally being reborn, and the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army today is far from comparable to that of 2014.
Ukraine is the homeland of the Cossacks, known for its courage and good fighting in history, 60% of the Soviet army in World War II came from Ukraine, and the three trump cards with the strongest combat effectiveness were the First Front of Ukraine, the Second Front and the Fourth Front of Belarus.
Now on the more than 1,000-kilometer front in eastern and southern Ukraine, the Russian army still maintains 600,000 troops after 380,000 casualties, and the Ukrainian army is 6370,000 people, and it is almost impossible for the Kremlin to hold on to the interests of the negotiations.
This war is Ukraine's 300-year national awakening and a battle for nationhood, as Foreign Minister Kuleba said on January 25: "Even if there is no **, we will fight with a shovel......."”
It was also a war that Russia could not afford to lose, and thanks to the referendums in the Crimea and the four eastern regions of Ukraine, the Emperor had no way out.
The Russians are a nation that worships the strong, and it is also a country full of gambling, other countries gamble money, Russian roulette gambles on life, losers are often purged, Nicholas I committed suicide by poisoning after defeat, Nicholas II's entire family was shot, the only one who was not liquidated was Brezhnev, this is due to the fact that the defeat of the war in Afghanistan was a collective decision of the Politburo, not an individual responsibility......
But this Russia-Ukraine war is the release of personal ambitions, and in the 2021 Caucasian military exercises, Gerasimov's sentence "The Russian army is ready!" "Tragedy is already predestined.
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain, and ambitions that do not match strength are the root of all tragedies!
