Since the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the West has begun to provide a large amount of assistance to Ukraine in weapons and equipment and combat materials such as fuel and medical supplies, and the European Union is also the first time in history that member states agreed to fund the purchase of arms to assist the Ukrainian army in its defensive operations against the Russian army.
The entry of a large number of Western weapons and ammunition and other combat and relief materials into Ukraine will undoubtedly enhance the ability of the Ukrainian army to resist the Russian offensive and will slow down the rhythm of the Russian army's offensive.
There is no doubt that russia will be given special military operations in Ukraine, with the goal of de-militarizing and de-Naziratizing Ukraine, bringing about a very unfavorable situation, delaying the end of the war process, and increasing the cost of human, material and financial resources for the Russian army's operations.
Ukraine, with a land area of nearly 600,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 45 million, is considered a population and territory power in Europe, the Russian army entered the vast Ukrainian Great Plain, in the resistance of the Ukrainian army, and the large-scale military support of the West, the Russian army to Ukraine militarization and Nazismization, it is difficult to achieve overnight, the war may take a long time.
Now, within a few days of the start of the war, it is obviously too early to assess the direction of the war, after all, the battlefield is full of many uncertain factors that will affect the direction of the war.
