The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still continuing, and I thought that the Ukrainian side had no ability to fight back, but I did not expect that Russia itself was attacked.
The incident occurred in the russian border city of Belgorod, where the local oil depot was attacked by Ukrainian helicopters, the scene was in flames, and nearby residents were evacuated urgently.
Afterwards, the Russian side determined that the attack was committed by the Ukrainian army, the Ukrainian side did not say no, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said when asked relevant questions, will not discuss any of his orders as the commander-in-chief, some things, will only be shared with the Ukrainian military.
This is tantamount to indirectly admitting that he gave orders to the Ukrainian army to attack the Russian mainland.
The success of this sneak attack did make Russia lose some face. Russia has been de-militarizing Ukraine, only to have airstrikes on Russian soil.
Although it will not affect the direction of the war, Russia will not be able to face it.
As a result, Russia launched a fierce counterattack, firing a wave of tactical missiles directly at Kharkov. Another Russian missile unit fired missiles at Mariupol. At the same time, the Black Sea Fleet also launched missiles to attack the village of Shahtorskye, and the attack of the Black Sea Fleet alone caused the death of dozens of Ukrainian troops.
It can be seen that Russia still occupies this absolute superiority and holds the initiative on the battlefield.
But the US media does not think so. The US media said that the Ukrainian army had turned defensive to offensive, and also stressed that "Moscow has confirmed for the first time that it has been attacked by the Ukrainian army across the border." If you only look at the headline of the US media, coupled with the pictures of the attack on the oil depot, you think that the Ukrainian army has launched a comprehensive counterattack, invaded Russia, and is about to break through Moscow.
But in fact, this is only a spiritual victory method, the Ukrainian army can successfully carry out its own cross-border air raids, indicating that the Ukrainian side does not have the will to fight, but the will to fight does not represent the ability to fight, in the face of Russian retaliation, the Ukrainian army has no ability to fight back.
At present, the war has entered the 39th day, and after more than a month of fighting, the Russian army has indeed not fought very easily, and it can even be said that it is difficult. Especially in the Mariupol and Kharkov regions of the fighting.
It is easier to understand that Kharkov cannot fight, after all, it is the second largest city in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian side will not give up easily.
And the situation in Mariupol is hard to describe.
The city of Mariupol was small and had been surrounded by Russian troops, but it was still under full control.
It was precisely because the Russian army could not attack Mariupol for a long time that the Ukrainian army held its breath and fought with the Russian army. This, in turn, affected the entire war situation. It even allowed the Ukrainian army to successfully sneak into the Russian mainland.
Of course, these do not change the final result, after all, the gap in strength is there, at most the price may be more, Russia should win or can win.
Judging only from the current war situation, the war will not end for a while and a half.
Russia has adjusted its direction, first concentrating its combat power to take the Donbass, fully controlling the Donbass region, and then considering the long term.
If the talks don't work out, then return to the previous strategy and attack in both directions of Odessa and Kiev. Or concentrate your forces to take Kharkov.
Now there are only two ways, either Ukraine takes the initiative to submit to the conditions of the Russian side and accepts the conditions of the Russian side, or it is beaten by Russia to have to submit to the conditions and then accept the conditions offered by the Russian side. Whichever way you go, the end result will not make any difference.
