Well, let's talk about President Zelensky's decision and the situation in Ukraine. In other words, the president's refusal to withdraw his troops from Avdeyevka is not simple. You think, at this point, he has almost all the chips on the table, which is the focus of international attention. Looking at his posture, it seems to say, "Even if it's a big gamble, I'll have to stay the course." So what's the reason for this? We'll have to dissect it a little bit.
If you want to talk about these two people, one is the president of Ukraine, and the other is a bigwig in the army, you see their incompatible rhythm, they can really make trouble. Zaluzhny, the military chief, he sees the problem realistically, thinks that the situation in Avdeyevka is worse than the previous Bakhmut, he is the kind of old fritter who knows when to withdraw and when to advance. In his eyes, saving his life is the last word, and he doesn't want to see his soldiers being sent to death in vain. But President Zelensky doesn't think so, he wants to play for real, stick to the city, and mobilize the troops on the Zaporozhye front, no, this is directly against Zaluzhny.
You see that this conflict is not only a difference in military strategy, but also a layer of meaning behind it, that is, the difference in Ukraine's attitude towards war. Zelensky wants to give the outside world a tough impression, after all, Ukraine is now on the cusp.
Speaking of Colonel Litovkin, a retired Russian military expert, he directly pointed out the problem. He said that Zelensky was simply working blindly by doing this, the Russian army had the upper hand, and Avdeyevka had basically become their world. How do you say that? To put it simply, the Russian army has a good card in its hand. They controlled the favorable terrain and blocked the road to the city, which blocked the reinforcements of the Ukrainian army. If the Ukrainian army still wants to break through, isn't that the meaning of desperately climbing on the hot pot with ants?
From this point of view, Zelensky's insistence is a bit confusing, even a little risky. But then again, as the leader of the country, he has to be cautious in every move, after all, war is such a thing, and one mistake can be a complete loss.
Let's talk more about Zelensky's persistence. Why did he cling to Avdeyevka? You know, it's not just a city problem. If this city is lost, for Ukraine, the influence will not be small. What will the outside world think? This is directly related to whether Ukraine can continue to receive support from the West in the future. Zelensky is determined to prove to his Western allies that the Ukrainian army is still combative, and he has to show them that Ukraine can make a difference even in difficult situations.
There is another angle here, and that is the issue of Western support. If Ukraine behaves too softly, Western countries may find it pointless to support Ukraine and even hesitate to continue to provide aid. Zelensky is now gambling all his chips, and he may be thinking that even if there is a glimmer of life, he will fight to the death and show his unyielding fighting spirit.
Okay, with all that said, let's take a look at the hot discussion on the Internet. This matter has attracted a lot of attention, and netizens have discussed it. Some netizens bluntly said that Zelensky was gambling on the fortunes of the country, exchanging the lives of soldiers for political bonuses, and they felt that it was not worth it. But there are also those who are on Zelensky's side and feel that as a leader, he has shown loyalty to his country and a desire for victory, and such determination is indeed admirable. Of course, there are netizens who say it more thoroughly, they believe that the war in Ukraine is actually part of the great power game, and the real win or loss has little to do with Ukraine itself.
Finally, let's sort it out. Zelensky's decision-making reflects his firm belief in the future of his country, and his indomitable attitude deserves praise. But at the same time, he also has to face reality and weigh the pros and cons, after all, the outcome of the war is not just determined by will. As observers, we can only hope that these sacrifices will ultimately lead to real peace and tranquility for the Ukrainian people.
The end of the article raises the question: is this persistence of Zelensky worth it? Will his approach bring victory and help to Ukraine? This question is left to all readers, and everyone is welcome to speak freely in the comment area and share your views and opinions.
