The development of the Russian-Ukrainian war situation exceeded everyone's expectations, and the Russian army neither stormed Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, nor did it carry out a devastating attack on Key Cities such as Kharkiv. The reason may be due to the lack of preparation of the Russian army, to be precise, its lack of sufficient assessment of the degree of resistance of the Ukrainian army. Another possibility is that the Russian military has fought with extreme restraint and fully complied with the Putin government's order to "attack only military installations, not civilian facilities and residential areas."
It should also be noted that the Western countries began to send aid to Ukraine, which gave the Zelenskiy government some hope in the center of the whirlpool, and it turned out that it had not been completely abandoned.
The rapid changes in the battlefield situation determined that kegong must make timely adjustments. According to the Global Network, Russian troops have invaded Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, and attacked the Kharkov substation in the early morning of March 1, causing problems with the city's power and water supply. This indicates that the Russian side has stepped up its offensive and begun to incorporate the urban base into the targets.
It is reported that the main units of the Ukrainian army stationed in Kharkiv are the 92nd Mechanized Brigade and the National Guard, and the 92nd Brigade was originally stationed on the front line of the Donbass region. Although the National Guard is known as the elite of the Elite of the Ukrainian Army, equipped with D-30 howitzers, T-64BM main battle tanks, BTR-4 wheeled armored vehicles and Us-made "Stinger" anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons, but due to the lack of follow-up reinforcements and insufficient supplies, coupled with the large scale of the Russian army and a large number of technical equipment, it can only take a defensive position.
In the south, after taking important passes such as Snake Island, the Russian army began to advance to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and the southern city of Kherson was under attack by the Russian army. To the north, the Russian 106th Guards Airborne Division and the 98th Division rushed thousands of miles to Kill Kiev via Belarus.
It is generally believed that the Russian army will concentrate on capturing the Ukrainian capital, after all, taking the most important cultural and political center of the country will deal a heavy blow to the Ukrainian command center and the morale of the military and civilians, and perhaps the war will end.
From the Russian point of view, the only regret is that it has not been able to cut off the connection between The Western Border City of Lviv and NATO in Ukraine for the time being. Although the Russian Air and Space Force controls Ukraine's air superiority, it is not too close to the west of Ukraine, because it will expose the fighters to the anti-aircraft fire of NATO countries, which will easily lead to gunfire. NATO aid, on the other hand, was continuously delivered to the Ukrainians through the "Polish-Lviv" corridor. In order to cut off this supply line, the Russian army has arrived in brody city in Lviv Oblast and engaged the Ukrainian army.
Of course, how to minimize casualties in the process of attacking the stronghold and avoid being criticized by the international community is also a problem that the Russian military needs to face at all times.
For Today's Russia, the so-called "opening the bow and there is no turning back arrow", only by winning the war and requiring the Ukrainian government to sign the "alliance under the city" can NATO's eastward expansion be completely stopped. Compared with Kiev, Lviv will become a key factor in the real situation of the war, and the Russian army will not be soft-hearted this time, or completely cut off Ukraine's few external lifelines.
