The situation of the Ukrainian army on the front line is becoming more and more unfavorable, and now even if the ace troops are dispatched, they will not be able to keep the military town of Avdeyevka, which means that the Ukrainian side will further lose control of the Donbas region. In this context, the Ukrainian side has stepped up its diplomatic efforts, and Zelensky and Foreign Minister Kuleba have acted separately to seek help from China and the United States.
The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, announced the withdrawal of troops from Avdeyevka].
Russia and Ukraine have been fighting for almost two years, and in the recent head-to-head confrontations, the Ukrainian army is obviously inferior to the Russian army. Recently, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, announced a very important decision:Withdrawal of troops from Avdeyevka, Donetsk region. The change in the strategic layout of the Ukrainian army quickly aroused widespread concern from the outside world about the future direction of the situation.
Avdeyevka is a military stronghold in the Donetsk region, less than 10 kilometers from the city of Donetsk, and has long been a key stronghold of the Ukrainian army's artillery shelling of the city of Donetsk and its surrounding areas. Since October last year, the Russian army has launched a fierce offensive in the area, and the resistance of the Ukrainian army is a little insufficient.
A few months ago,The Russian army has invested a huge number of troops here, up to 50,000 people, who not only surrounded Avdeyevka from three sides, but also successfully cut off one of the main logistics supply lines of the Ukrainian army. The Ukrainian army stationed here had to switch from offensive to defensive due to lack of ammunition and other problems, and the situation was becoming increasingly difficult.
Period,The Ukrainian army hurriedly deployed its ace unit, the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, in an attempt to salvage the situation. The unit has performed well in the Battle of **Mutt, and also participated in the ** operation of the Ukrainian army last summer, and is an elite force in the Ukrainian army.

However, even this ace force has not been able to change the disadvantage of the Ukrainian army in the region. The top brass of the army frankly admittedWhether it is strength or firepower, the Ukrainian army is difficult to match with the Russian army, and it is extremely difficult to defend and fight.
At present, the remaining Ukrainian troops on the battlefield are trying their best to slow down the advance of the Russian army. The complete capture of Avdeyevka by the Russian army was another important victory after **Mutt. This not only marks the further advance of the Russian army on the battlefield, but also means that the Russian side will be one step closer to taking full control of the Donbas region.
The Donbas region mainly includes two regions, Donetsk and Luhansk, and controlling these two regions is of great significance to the direction of the conflict. The situation in Kramatorsk, another important industrial town in the Donetsk region controlled by the Ukrainian side, is also not favorable to the Ukrainian side, with a shortage of ammunition and difficulties in the rotation of troops, which greatly affects the combat capability of the Ukrainian army.
Against this background, the Ukrainian side's anxiety and uneasiness about the road ahead have become more and more serious. Nowadays, the assistance of Western countries to Ukraine is far less than that in the early days of the conflictIf the Ukrainian army continues to retreat on the battlefield, the enthusiasm of Western countries to aid Ukraine will continue to decline, or even stop completely. Therefore, the Ukrainian side is ready to start from two aspectsWhile seeking new U.S. assistance to Ukraine, it is also strengthening ties with China.

Late last year, U.S. aid to Ukraine ran out, prompting an urgent need and widespread discussion about a new round of aid measures. Against this backdrop, Biden has spared no effort to push the US Senate to pass an aid bill totaling $95 billion, a large sum of money that includes both help for Ukraine and support for Israel. However, now that the two parties in the United States are fiercely fighting, it is still full of uncertainty whether this bill can be successfully passed in the House of Representatives, where the Republicans have a majority.
During this period, the Ukrainian side has also shown a strong willingness to receive more assistance. Zelensky has actively appealed to the United States on various occasions, expecting the latter to work out a new and more powerful aid program.
A few days ago, Zelensky spoke with the United States **Biden** at the Munich Security Conference, emphasizing the importance of aiding Ukraine. When meeting with the US delegation attending the meeting, he also made a special request to support Ukraine in the development of defense industries such as drone manufacturing.
At the same time, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba also met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the meeting. Kuleba said that he and Foreign Minister Wang Yi had friendly exchanges on bilateral relations and the restoration of peace between Russia and Ukraine, and reached an agreement on maintaining contacts and dialogue between China and Ukraine at all levels.

Now the Ukrainian side has approached the Chinese side and wants to strengthen cooperation and tiesOn the one hand, Ukraine is eager to ease economic and social pressures at home by strengthening economic and trade relations with China. On the other hand, Ukraine hopes that China can play the role of a mediator in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in order to reduce the pressure on Ukraine on the front lines of the conflict.
However, the Ukrainian side still made a mistake when it asked China for help, that is, it hoped that China could support the peace plan for Ukraine. China has already emphasized its neutrality on more than one occasion, and Foreign Minister Wang Yi made a similar statement at the Munich Security Conference.
At the World Economic Forum in Davos some time ago, the Chinese side did not attend the meeting related to the Ukraine peace plan because the Ukrainian side was too biased. List of high-quality authors
