On March 7, local time, the third round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine ended. However, due to the irreparable differences between the two sides, no substantive results were achieved in the end. All indications are that Putin is about to launch a general offensive against Ukraine, and the decisive battle time may be coming.
The collapse of Russia and Ukraine again is actually expected by many people, because the parties involved in the conflict have not completely lost confidence in the solution of the Ukrainian problem through military means. From Russia's point of view, although the military operation against Ukraine has not progressed as fast as expected, under the fierce offensive of the Russian army, a large number of Ukrainian military facilities have been destroyed to a certain extent, and the Russian army has also formed a siege of many Ukrainian cities. We know that Russian President Vladimir Putin's use of force against Ukraine does not seek to occupy it, but rather wants to use the uncertain terrorist prospects created for Ukraine to gain more leverage for himself at the negotiating table.
From the perspective of Ukraine, in the more than ten days of head-on confrontation with the Russian army, in fact, the Ukrainian army has carried the early offensive of Russia, at least the Russian army has not yet attacked Kiev. And for Ukraine, a long war of attrition with Russia is more beneficial to itself. Because, with the arrival of U.S. and NATO weapons and foreign mercenaries, Ukraine will not easily surrender at the negotiating table. Moreover, getting zelenskiy's government to accept the independence of Crimea and donbass is tantamount to nailing itself to a pillar of shame in Ukraine, so under the terms of the peace talks proposed by Russia, it is not difficult to make the Ukrainian government compromise.
So why is it that after russia and Ukraine collapse again, Putin is about to launch a general offensive against Ukraine? Here we have to mention several important signs in the Situation between Russia and Ukraine, because they all indicate that the time for decisive battle is coming. First, on March 8, the Russian army once again entered a "state of silence", which was undoubtedly the last silence before the war. In addition, Russia has also announced the opening of humanitarian routes in Kiev, Kharkov, Samui and other places in Ukraine to evacuate local people. As for the signal released by Russia's move, we believe that after the evacuation of civilians, the next step for the Russian army is to storm the city.
Second, in the latest offensive against Ukraine, we have noticed that the Russian army has dispatched the Su-35 fighters with the strongest stealth capabilities, excellent air combat performance and extraordinary electronic warfare capabilities of Russian fighters. In addition, Putin recently called on the main force of the Ukrainian army to surrender, and shouted to the Ukrainian government that if it continues to resist the Russian army, Ukraine's national status may not be guaranteed. At the same time, more Russian troops are entering the Ukrainian battlefield. That is to say, Russia's determination to attack Ukraine is still very strong.
In addition, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Army also said that judging from the various movements of the Russian army, the Russian army may soon launch a general offensive against Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Because at present, the Russian army has begun to make final preparations for the attack on Kiev.
