Today, it seems that the primary goal of the Kyiv authorities is no longer to defeat Russia on the battlefield, but how to involve Western countries in it. Just signed security agreements with France and Germany, Ukrainian ** Zelensky immediately abandoned the key town of Avdeyevka in Donetsk, and in general, the Ukrainian army once again obtained a round of so-called "results".
According to ** reports, Zelensky visited Berlin and Paris successively, and signed a security guarantee agreement with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and France** Macron. According to the agreement, Germany and France will provide "security guarantees" to Ukraine, including "rapid and sustained security assistance" to Ukraine "as appropriate" and seek to make Russia pay "economic and other costs".
Immediately after, Scholz announced that he would provide 1.1 billion euros in military aid to Ukraine, including 36 howitzers, 120,000 artillery shells and two air defense systems. France** Macron also reconfirmed the 3 billion euro military aid package for Ukraine. The word "discretionary" in this agreement is used quite cleverly, and no matter what kind of support Germany and France can provide in the end, Zelensky will be able to proudly declare on his return home: "It's dinner again, brothers!" ”
Now that Avdeyevka has suffered losses in this area again, Avdeyevka's surplus value has also been drained. The new commander-in-chief, Syrsky, issued an order that night, and the front-line commander of the Ukrainian army, Tarnavsky, announced the evacuation from Avdeyevka. Syrsky claimed that this was a "strategic shift" aimed at "saving the lives of soldiers." However, the information flowing from the telegram group shows that although the main forces of the Ukrainian army have been withdrawn, there are still some units trapped in the encirclement, and it is unlikely that they will break through.
This is another important area lost by the Ukrainian army after **mut and Maryinka, which is obviously quite unfavorable for the Kyiv authorities. But fortunately, Germany and France have signed agreements with Ukraine, bringing the two countries more closely involved.
Avdeyevka is located in the northwest of Donetsk City, is the most heavily defended fortress of the Ukrainian army, with dangerous terrain and strong defense line, which can be described as the largest and most heavily garrisoned fortress of the Ukrainian army in Donetsk. Now, this fortress has fallen into the hands of the Russian army, which has become an important progress made by Russia in Donetsk, laying the foundation for the Russian army to continue its offensive against the Ukrainian army from multiple directions.
However, under the current circumstances, the Russian army may not immediately launch an offensive, but use the defensive line left by the Ukrainian army to consolidate the gains in this area. This time, instead of constantly sending soldiers to the front to die, as in Artemsk, Syrsky decisively abandoned the place. It is widely believed that he may have two intentions: one is to save his reputation, the previous battles of Debaltsevo and **Mutt, which gave him the nickname "butcher", so this decisive withdrawal means that he is not a commander who will give away his head; The second is to prepare for the next **. Judging by the attitude of the Kiev authorities, it is clear that they will not accept the current front as a ceasefire line, but resolutely want to restore the 1991 border.
For the Ukrainian army, this is a rather huge challenge, but given Syrsky's "loyalty", it is likely that he will find ways to launch another large-scale **. To this end, Ukraine plans to mobilize another 500,000 people and lower the age band to 16 years.
Therefore, Syrsky may still be the same "butcher", but with a different strategy. The picture of a Jewish **, an ethnic Russian commander-in-chief, although unimaginable, has also become a reality.
