Ukraine's provocations made Putin unbearable, and he ordered a heavy shelling of Ukraine, resolutely not leaving the enemy a moment of respite. In the early morning of the 18th, there was a ** in Nikolaev and Odessa, and the sharp sirens alarmed the Ukrainians who were still asleep.
Under the cover of darkness, everything happened extremely quickly, and a storm swept through southern Ukraine in an instant. The sudden arrival of all this is related to Ukraine's arrogant bombing of the bridge on the 17th.
The leader's fanatical decision-making has awakened countless Ukrainians from their sleep with loud noises, and they can only witness the sky filled with gunsmoke. This nightmare belongs not only to Ukraine, but also to Russia, and even more to the whole world.
Since the evening of the 17th, there have been frequent violent ** incidents in many places in Ukraine, especially Odessa, which lasted until the early morning of the 18th, and local residents confirmed that the south was under heavy attack.
This sudden attack is not surprising, because in the early morning of the 17th, the Ukrainian army sent two unmanned boats across thousands of miles to blow up the Crimean bridge connecting the Crimean peninsula to Russia.
The actions of the Ukrainian army caused harm to Russian civilians, including two adults who died on the spot and a child who was seriously injured. This incident caused the Russian side to pay great attention, and Putin personally presided over the meeting and ordered a thorough investigation.
He denounced the operation as a "terrorist attack".
After the Ukrainian action, Putin personally ordered the Russian Defense Ministry to develop a response plan, making it clear that a strong counterattack would be made. As Putin's order was carried out, the sirens in Ukraine continued, followed by a continuous ** sound, which made countless Ukrainian civilians wake up from their sleep and look out the window in fear at the smoke.
The air raid incident once again highlighted the shortcomings of the Ukrainian army in terms of air supremacy and air defense capabilities. Ukraine now has a small number of aircraft and a low level of aircraft readiness. This is due to the fact that Ukraine relies on Russia for many accessories for its active aircraft**, which undoubtedly limits the number of Ukrainian aircraft.
The Crimean bridge was blown up in the early hours of the morning, and the Ukrainian side admitted that they were responsible. For Ukraine, the Crimean bridge is not a military facility, and unmanned boat attacks are one of the strategies commonly used by the Ukrainian army.
Ukraine's actions have clearly touched Russia's bottom line, and this is an absolutely unacceptable result for Russia. Referring to the attack on the Crimean bridge, Putin pointed out that the main task of the Crimean bridge is no longer military transport, so the target of the attack is civilians, which is meaningless from a military point of view.
The Crimean Bridge is of great importance to Russia and is a key passage to achieve control over the Crimean peninsula. For Russia, the Crimean Bridge is the safest and most convenient access to Crimea.
Immediately after the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014, the construction of the bridge began. After several years of hard work, the bridge was finally completed in 2018.
This feat is undoubtedly a huge achievement in the eyes of the Russians, who have relatively poor infrastructure. In this regard, Putin personally drove across the bridge to celebrate and encourage.
During the recent military operation in Ukraine, the strategically important bridge was not destroyed, but traffic was somewhat disrupted. Since last year, the bridge has had frequent problems, and if this continues, the bridge could be in danger of disappearing.
Once the bridge is damaged, Russia's most convenient access to Crimea will disappear, which will lead to a significant reduction in Russian support for Crimea, and the Russian troops stationed in Crimea will also face serious logistical difficulties.
The Crimean bridge is both an important strategic facility for Russia and a weak link in its defense system. Recently, the bridge was attacked again, which attracted Putin's great attention.
He asked not only the Ministry of Defense to develop a counterattack strategy, but also a security proposal for the bridge. However, in the current tense situation, drones are being attacked all over Russia, especially immobile targets like the bridge, which makes it even more necessary to strengthen defenses.
Since the target of the Crimean bridge is huge and immobile, building there would make it vulnerable. As the West continues to provide military assistance to Ukraine, the number of long-range ** on the Ukrainian side will increase, and then the situation of the Crimean bridge will become even more dangerous.
Outraged by Ukraine's bottom-line trampling, Russia has launched a full-scale revenge operation on the night of the incident, demonstrating the inviolability of the Russians.
The targets of Russian strikes are targeted, such as the ports of Odessa and Mykolaiv, which are the main passages for Ukrainian drones and unmanned boats to go to sea.
In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, airstrikes have proven to be an effective means of countering forces. Since Ukraine suffered losses in the early stages of the struggle for air supremacy, and the number of its already small aircraft has been further reduced, they urgently need aircraft assistance from Western countries.
At the NATO summit, Western countries said they would increase aid to Ukraine.
Ukraine's air defense systems are unable to effectively counter Russian air and missile attacks, and even struggle to withstand cruise missiles. Russian arms dealer Karanishkov Group is working hard to develop a new Lancet drone, which will greatly enhance the air combat capabilities of the Russian Air Force.
In addition to the above, the Russian side has made it clear that it will no longer fulfill the Black Sea grain deal. The termination of the agreement means that Russia will cut off safe passage in the Black Sea and will no longer provide security guarantees.
This series of actions will lead to difficulties in Ukraine's grain exports by sea. Faced with this situation, Zelensky can only pin his hopes on the United Nations and Turkey, but who can risk Ukraine in the dangerous state of the Black Sea Route?
Medvedev insisted that with"Kyiv***"There is no point in reasoning, their core team must be physically eliminated, and this core team is clearly referring to Zelensky.
His comments hinted that Russia's next move would revolve around the Kyiv core as a harsh response to the attack on the Crimean bridge.
With the gradual increase in military aid from Western countries to Ukraine, the Ukrainian army may have more long-range ** equipment. This may mean that one day in the future, the Crimean bridge will be forgotten by history.
If the bridge is blown up, the iron triangle created by the Russian side in the Sea of Azov will collapse, which will have a significant impact on the entire situation in Ukraine.
In the current war situation, the Ukrainian army is constantly resorting to excessively drastic measures in order to achieve a small victory. This will inevitably cause the Russian army to counterattack more violently, forming a vicious circle and bringing unavoidable disasters to innocent civilians.
In particular, certain countries should discourage the extreme behavior of the Ukrainian army, instead of adding fuel to the fire and aggravating the tension of the situation.
