Russia's "blitzkrieg" against Ukraine has become a "protracted war", the reasons behind it are quite complicated, but it has a lot to do with NATO, and now the Ukrainian army insists on resisting because NATO has provided a large amount of military assistance to Ukraine, so that Ukraine has the confidence to insist on resistance. As the "leader" of NATO, the United States continues to increase military aid to Ukraine, and recently US President Biden approved a military aid project worth $800 million, and the US arms dealers are "happy to blossom" because they can consume inventory. Because of the continuous military assistance of the United States and NATO, Ukraine is ready for a long-term battle, so it has placed a large number of mines in the port to try to resist the Russian landing from the sea.
According to the information released by Russia, the Ukrainian army has deployed more than 400 mines in ports near the Black Sea, including Odessa, Ochyakov, Chernomorsk and other ports, and it is not excluded that some of them will enter the Black Sea with the flow of seawater, and even flow into the Turkish Strait controlled by Turkey. Russia is launching an active "public opinion offensive", because if Russia does not explain in advance, if a ship is attacked by mines, the West will put its hat on Russia's head.
Today, it seems that NATO's continuous military assistance to Ukraine is to suffer its own evil consequences, because Ukraine only began to deploy mines after Russia launched a military operation against Ukraine. Mines are a very cheap weapon that can cause serious damage to ships, and are also "endless" weapons, because there are many types of mines, and demining will be a very difficult task. Before the war between Russia and Ukraine was over, the mines deployed in Ukraine had already caused harm, and before a third-party civilian ship was attacked by mines, in fact, from the perspective of the attack on the third-party ship, it was already a warning.
If mines cross the Turkish Strait with the flow of seawater and thus enter the Mediterranean Sea, it is "endless trouble" for NATO, which currently has three aircraft carriers deployed in the Mediterranean, including the Usable Truman, the French CHARLES de Gaulle and the Italian aircraft carrier Cavour. At that time, if NATO's aircraft carrier collides with mines, the impact will be enormous. After Russia attacked Ukraine, Turkey announced the blockade of the Turkish Strait, but Turkey was unable to intercept the mines deployed by Ukraine, because the deployment of mines could be fixed and could not be seen on the surface.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has entered its fourth week, both sides have killed the red eye, judging from the results announced by Russia, Ukraine has lost the outlet to the Sea of the Black Sea, and if Russia does not withdraw its troops from the Black Sea coast in the future, Ukraine will become a landlocked country. 202203306/Aviation Horizon/AZ, from the perspective of Russia's attack on Ukraine, Ukraine is to pay a heavy price for joining the Western bloc, Russia insists on "demilitarizing" strikes against Ukraine, so Ukraine's defense industry has suffered a devastating blow, and tank factories, aero engine factories and aircraft maintenance plants have all been targeted.
Ukraine originally thought it was a chess player, in fact, Ukraine is a chess piece, just a tool used by the United States to contain Russia, after Russia attacked Ukraine, the United States did not send troops to assist, but adopted the strategy of "watching the fire from the other side".
