The hard bone of Mariupol was finally about to be gnawed down by the Russian army. It was thought that Mariupol would be more difficult to fight, but the Russians succeeded in taking it, and russia was well positioned to launch a large-scale offensive into the eastern part of Ukraine.
It's just that the steel plant Russia is not going to fight at the moment, just trap them, go in and fight the equivalent of street fighting, and Russia rushes to attack this side is prone to excessive casualties. Trapping those diehards, waiting for the food and water consumption below, the mercenaries and Azov battalions below from different factions, in the case of limited food resources, there will be differences, and there will be a high probability of conflict and mutual consumption.
After a long time, the people under the steel plant collapsed on their own. Therefore, Russia does not need to risk entering, the steel factory has been completely surrounded by the Russian army, and russia will win no matter what.
Ukraine is the country of heavenly selection, with the world's best black land granary, as well as the technology-leading aircraft shipbuilding and aerospace industry, as well as several weapons manufacturing and design bureaus, plus the port of Mariupol, Azov Steel Plant in Europe is also the top big steel plant, sitting on the Soviet heritage, located in a strategic place, Ukraine into the Western world after being manipulated by the West, the West spent thirty years to break the good cards, in recent years to see Ukraine collapse without threat, you can use Ukraine as a pawn and Russia to consume each other.
Before the War between Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine has also been divided into two factions, West Ukraine grows grain and other crops, need to sell to the European Union, so pro-European, and East Ukraine is mainly responsible for heavy industry, which requires Russian technical support and a broad consumer market, so pro-Russian, West Ukraine bears the scissors difference from the European Union, sucked by the EU blood-sucking labor, East Ukraine because of industrial development and Russian economic exchanges, at that time the economic situation of East Ukraine, living standards are significantly better than West Ukraine.
In the face of uneven domestic development, when former Ukrainian President Yanukovych was in power, there were two ways to go, one way was to join the European Union, Russia no longer imported Ukrainian products, and the other way was to tear up the Agreement on Joining the European Union, and Russia gave Ukraine the maximum 30% price reduction when importing natural gas.
Yanukovych considered the relationship between Russia and Ukraine, far more than the empty cheque of joining the European Union, and many of the measures taken since then have been inclined to Russia, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction in European and American countries, and the opposition has begun to play up Yanukovych's betrayal of Ukraine's national interests in Ukraine, which has also triggered turmoil in Ukraine.
Yanukovych invited the Russians to help, but the Russians refused. In fact, the Russian army sent troops to help quell the chaos was the best outcome, and a still pro-Russian Ukraine was the best outcome. But Putin did not seize that opportunity.
After the Crimean incident, the pro-Russian faction could not vote in Ukraine after independence, and the pro-Russian faction had no living space in Ukraine, which led to the future presidents basically favoring the representatives of Europe and the United States, since then the Azov battalion was founded, ultra-nationalism in Ukraine prevailed, the pro-Russian forces in Ukraine were almost eliminated by the pro-Western faction in the past few years, and the eastern region of Ukraine fell into eight years of war.
Later, the Crimean War in Eastern Ukraine was disintegrated, and the politician oligarchs spent decades playing the poorest country in Europe, extremism was rampant, and public opinion chose zelensky, which dragged Ukraine into the quagmire of war step by step.
The country of Ukraine is really completely finished. Already poor, the war has led to the death of a large number of male populations, and many have gone abroad to become refugees, and the labor force has been seriously damaged. The status of the European granary can no longer be maintained, Zelenskiy not only turned Ukraine into ruins, but even the future was overdrawn in advance, and what is more terrible than losing territory is the loss of the hearts of the people on the territory, obviously Ukraine has lost most of the people's hearts, Ukraine does not even have the people's hearts, and it is not a dream to win
