The Russia-Ukraine war has entered its 719th day, and the situation on the battlefield is worrying. On the Avdiivka front, the situation in the north has deteriorated, and the likelihood of the fall of the fortress is constantly increasing. Russian forces continued to advance along the two northern streets, seizing an area 350 meters wide and 150 meters deep. However, south of Avdiivka, the 47th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army successfully repelled the Russian offensive, destroyed two Russian tanks and captured a Russian Army contract soldier from Sierra Leone.
The aggravation of the situation in Avdiivka began on January 17, when the Russian army attacked the positions of the Ukrainian army through tunnels, opening the southern line of defense. In response to the surprise attack of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army mobilized the 47th brigade, but the Russian army still broke through the defensive line in the north. At the moment, the Russian army has penetrated deep into the northern regions, just a kilometer from the lifeline of the fortress.
On the eastern front, the Ukrainian army continued to advance southeast along the H-26 highway, recapturing part of its positions. And in other directions, the front has not changed much. Ukraine**Zelensky asked the new commander-in-chief, General Syrsky, to develop a new plan to avoid a stalemate on the battlefield and reduce**.
The support of the international community for Ukraine is also gradually emerging. Japan plans to supply Ukraine with 1$0.6 billion in aid, with a focus on post-conflict reconstruction. At the same time, Ukraine exchanged with Russia for a Ukrainian soldier who had been in Russian captivity for 20 months.
However, Trump's statement sparked controversy. He hinted that the United States would not protect NATO members if they did not pay, a political stance based on money that drew widespread attention.
On the Ukraine issue, the attention and support of the international community is crucial. Ukraine needs more assistance and support from countries in response to Russia's provocations and invasion. At the same time, there is a need for internal solidarity within Ukraine to resist external pressure and achieve national independence and security. The lessons of history teach us that only through radical reform and solidarity can Ukraine emerge from its current predicament and move towards a prosperous and stable future.
