The Russian-Ukrainian war has escalated to a war between NATO and Russia, but the battlefield is still fought on the territory of Ukraine, but there is a risk of spillover to other NATO countries at any time, and it is already in the airspace of Finland, Latvia and other countries, Russia and NATO have begun to test each other's offense and defense, and the European war is slowly kicking off.
What does the current offensive and defensive posture of the Russia-Ukraine war look like? After the Russian army successfully broke the Avdeyevka defense line, which was heavily guarded by the first line of troops formed by NATO and Ukraine, on March 2, the Russian airborne troops launched a surprise attack and successfully occupied a number of Ukrainian strongholds near Verbovoye in the Zaporozhye region of the front line. On March 4, German media reported that the Russian army is about to break through the defense line and may soon hit the Dnieper, once the Russian army controls the Dnieper and advances westward, it can occupy the heights along the Dnieper, and then it can plunge down on Kyiv; Advancing to the north, you can directly attack Kyiv, and there will be more and more options for the route of the Russian army's attack.
Why is it that all of a sudden the Russian army is advancing so fast? And what would make the West so nervous? It's all because Avdeyevka, the first line of defense now taken by the Russian army, is one of the strongest defensive fortresses of the Ukrainian army that the Ukrainian army has been investing in since 2014 under the guidance of NATO. Further back, NATO's second and third lines of defense in Ukraine are not so strong at all, and may even have to be formed temporarily, in this case, how can the pace of the Russian army's offensive be stopped?
Does this kind of battle situation make everyone feel familiar? The Ukrainian army is overwhelmed, and the main thing is that the elite of the Ukrainian army has been almost wiped out, and the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed in Russia recently announced is about 500,000, and for a country with only 19 million people left, how much combat effectiveness is there to speak of? What to do? NATO can't watch Ukraine lose, so NATO has already begun to go shirtless. If in the past, the United States and NATO only provided funds and equipment support to Ukraine, now NATO should have a large number of troops participating in the war in Ukraine, which is what has recently been exposed within NATO, with British and French troops operating missiles in Ukraine to strike Russia; U.S. F35 fighters are over the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield to collect intelligence; The German ** team planned actual military operations such as the attack on the Crimean bridge.
Russian media said on March 4 that France not only called on Europe to organize a "crusade" against Russia, but also sent French officials to Ukraine in the form of volunteers and mercenaries; It also provided the Ukrainian army with long-range ** "Skap" cruise missiles and "Hammer" high-precision guided aerial bombs, which were also used by the Ukrainian army for the first time in the Avdeyevka direction. NATO has unabashedly sent troops and advanced ** to appear on the battlefield in Ukraine.
At the same time, France and Germany are still vying for the command of the NATO coalition, the US media recently said that the tension between France and Germany is increasing due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, France has long been frustrated with Germany's view of relations with the United States as the cornerstone of European security, and Germany is angry at Macron's self-appointed "war leader", especially when Berlin offers much more ** to Ukraine than Paris. It seems that the United States does not want to be the boss in the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the struggle for power between the second and third is still quite fierce, but if it is going to be a nuclear bomb, who will take the lead?
NATO has entered the war in substance, what should Russia do? The elimination of the Ukrainian army is naturally not a problem, but more importantly, it is necessary to focus on the elimination of the living forces of Britain, France and Germany, only if the NATO army is wiped out a lot, Ukraine will be self-defeating, don't look at France jumping very high now, look at World War II, the one who surrendered is the fastest!
