During this time, the situation in Ukraine is gradually heating up, the United States has been afraid that the world will not be chaotic, a few days ago the United States has officially announced that it decided to provide cluster bombs to Ukraine, this move has also been opposed by US allies, cluster bombs once there is an unexploded bomb, it is very troublesome to deal with, similar to demining, because the fuze of the dud has been opened, so it will cause great harm to the local people.
At the same time, in one day, Russia received two bad news one after another, the first is in the Ukrainian battlefield, according to authoritative media in Russia and Ukraine and Ukrainian official reports, the Ukrainian army on July 11 in a night attack on cities around the Sea of Azov, Deputy Commander of the Russian Southern Military District Zokov was "beheaded" by the Ukrainian army.
It is reported that the Ukrainian missile hit the building called "Duna Hotel", which was requisitioned as the residence of senior Russian officers, and is also the forward command post of the Russian 58th Army, when the Ukrainian army launched a "Storm Shadow" missile to attack the hotel, this type of missile was provided by the United Kingdom, and the United Kingdom is also the anti-Russian vanguard of the United States.
This is the highest general sacrificed by the Russian army since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Zokov as a member of the Russian army fierce general, Zokov participated in two Chechen wars and the Syrian war, served as the 144th motorized rifle division of the 20th combined army of the Russian army, was promoted to lieutenant general in 2023, deeply trusted by Putin, his sacrifice will not only anger Putin, but also increase the range of decapitation of precision guided missiles of the Russian army, so far, the Russian army has killed 20 generals.
The Ukrainian army launched this attack is not a small blow to the morale of the Russian army, the situation at the scene of the attack is very tragic, the Russian side has ordered an investigation, tracking down the mastermind, one thing is worth noting, that is, this time Zokov was attacked during the inspection of the front, so the outside world speculated that this operation may be an "inner ghost" within the Russian military, thus leaking his whereabouts, resulting in being hit by Ukrainian missiles.
The Southern Military District has always been an important strategic region of Russia, located near the borders of the country. The military bases in the region bear the heavy responsibility of defending the country's territory and border security, so Russia also attaches great importance to this, in addition, Russian military generals are proud of the front command, such an advantage is that they can quickly convey orders, respond quickly, and quickly make various adjustments and layouts according to the situation on the battlefield, but the disadvantage is that the danger is higher.
Now the Internet believes that there are three kinds of information that may leak information, one is the underground intelligence personnel of the Sprinkler Store, the second is the internal traitor of the Russian side, and the third is the tracking of the US Starlink. In any case, I believe that the Russian side will not give up in the future.
In addition, Russia also received bad news, NATO Secretary General confirmed that NATO plans to deploy 300,000 high-readiness forces (including naval and air forces) in areas including NATO's eastern flank near the Russian border, it is reported that the defense plan stipulates how to carry out activities in the event of an attack by the Russian army, a 300,000-strong high-readiness force should be able to complete the deployment in the corresponding designated area within 30 days, in addition to NATO members agreed to spend no less than 2% of GDP on defense spending.
Now NATO's move will only further aggravate the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it is obvious that NATO's deployment of troops around Russia is to support Ukraine and support the Ukrainian army to launch a counteroffensive, although NATO may not necessarily end up with the Russian army head-on, but the deployment of 300,000 people near the Russian border will undoubtedly cause Putin a lot of trouble, and does not rule out the possibility of direct conflict caused by friction.
It remains to be seen whether tensions between Russia and the West can be eased, and whether stability in Ukraine and Eastern Europe can be guaranteed will depend on the actions and decisions of all parties.
