The current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is facing embattled, ambushed on all sides, very dangerous, and extremely frustrated, and has reached the most dangerous situation.
In a way, it is more helpless, more difficult, and more dangerous than when the conflict between Russia and Ukraine first broke out. With the arrival of the bitter cold, with the departure of the West, and with Putin's strength, Ukraine has experienced multiple crises one after another. Taken together, Ukraine is facing 10 major crises:
First, the United States is utterly disappointed.
Since the outbreak of the conflict, the United States has received a steady stream of aid, and since the Ukrainian counteroffensive in June, the Ukrainian army has also suffered a steady stream of battlefield losses, which has completely irritated the Biden administration, but for the sake of next year's US election, the Biden administration can only bite the bullet. It's just that Zelensky's battlefield is not strong, and the bipartisan divisions in the United States and the controversy over the aid package for Ukraine make Zelensky's appeal seem inadequate. Republicans in the US Senate have blocked the White House's request for more money for Ukraine, and many US lawmakers have ridiculed Ozawa as a "scoundrel" and "beggar" begging for aid. The U.S. Congress also rejected the $60 billion aid bill to Ukraine by 51:49, and Senator Vance even called on the Biden administration to accept the reality of Ukraine's "land cession and peace". Maybe one day, the shortage of weapons and ammunition will become the last life-saving grass that will crush Ukraine.
Second, most of the country has fallen.
In the current Ukraine, the heavier the sacrifice of the army, the more the loss of the country. Even Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that "without special help from the United States, the Ukrainian army will have to surrender territory to the Russian army." "Now the eastern part of Ukraine has become a strategic buffer zone for Russia, and the battle to defend the territory is not based on words, but on tough military strength. In retrospect, Ukraine should wake up, how can it force a nuclear power into a corner and die without strong strength?
Thirdly, the strength of the Ukrainian army has dried up.
It is said that an internal information inadvertently leaked by Ukraine recently said that since the conflict, the Ukrainian army has killed 1.1 million people and injured nearly 3 million. But the fact is that Ukraine had a population of 40 million before the war, and now it is less than 22 million. Many of Ukraine's outstanding commanders have died on the battlefield in Ukraine, and now most of them are baby soldiers, bearded soldiers, female soldiers, and captured strong men. The number of soldiers is exhausted, the age span of conscription is getting bigger and bigger, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined by catching strong soldiers. Zelensky should wake up and really want to fight to the last Ukrainian? If you lose your land, you will lose your land, you will lose your land, you will be able to fight for it, and if you don't have people, who will rebuild Ukraine?
Fourth, Western aid has been cut off.
Now, the entire West seems to have woken up all of a sudden, aiding Ukraine has been disappointed, and it is no longer possible to consume Russia. Why did the West cut off supplies? Because the Ukrainian army was indeed fighting in a mess, the counteroffensive did not produce results, and the funds and weapons for aid were "lost" and the other used as "cannon fodder." Also, the driver's actions and words were unpopular, which angered the whole West, and many Western countries had their own stocks empty, and the landlord's family had no food, could they still manage other long-term workers?
Fifth, corruption and internal strife are serious.
The challenge facing Zelensky is far more than defeat on the battlefield, and the contradictions between Zelensky and the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Zaluzhny, have a long history. According to incomplete statistics, since the outbreak of the conflict, more than 60 high-level Ukrainian high-level officials have resigned due to war casualties, ineffective fighting, serious corruption, high-level infighting, and battlefield rebellion. Especially during the conflict, many high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine made a lot of war money, and the United States and the West were very shocked by the corruption problem in Ukraine, which is also one of the main reasons for the setback of Western aid.
Sixth, winter has arrived.
Being good at winter operations is a great tradition and advantage of the Russian army. Napoleon's French army and German Nazi army were defeated on this land by severe cold snaps. In the first cold winter of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the "Winter General" helped Russia a lot. The cold and blizzards of the second year are also making the war even more difficult. Zelenskyy said worriedly, "Most of Ukraine is suffering from bad weather, and at the same time, the onset of the cold winter has made the war even worse." "On the battlefield, Ukraine not only lacks weapons and equipment, but also equips it with cold-proof and warm equipment, and many Ukrainian soldiers directly froze to death in the trenches, because of the shortage of funds, many soldiers suffered greater battle losses.
Seventh, the Russian army is heavily pressurized.
The newly formed artillery brigade of the Russian army has put more pressure on the Ukrainian army, and Russia seems to be mercilessly exerting pressure on the battlefield. If the Ukrainian army continues to fight, it will only consume more vital forces. Recently, Russia has attacked Ukraine from three directions, first of all, the Russian army started from Belarus and carried out air and ground bombardment of the capital Kyiv, trying to occupy the Antonov airport and cut off Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's retreat. Secondly, the Russian army advanced westward from Donetsk and Lugantsk in eastern Ukraine and launched an attack on Kharkiv Oblast in eastern Ukraine. In the end, Russia sent troops from the Crimean peninsula and used landing ships to land from the port of Odessa and march to southern Ukraine. In the face of the full-scale offensive of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army is almost powerless to resist and faces an unprecedented crisis.
Eighth, the morale of the Ukrainian army is low.
For Zelensky, the biggest enemy is no longer Russia, but the increasingly low morale of the military and the pessimistic fighting posture. On the battlefield in Ukraine, many Western mercenaries have learned the bloody cruelty of the battlefield head-on, and many Western mercenaries have fled, coupled with the fact that Ukraine's mercenary funds have not been able to be paid for a long time. As Russia's new round of battlefields is ready, the Ukrainian battlefield will usher in more bloody killings, and more and more Ukrainian soldiers will flee from the battlefield and defect to their positions. Many Ukrainian soldiers scolded the Ukrainian authorities, who are they fighting for, why are they fighting? Is it worth losing their lives on the battlefield like this? Some families of Ukrainian fallen soldiers have not heard from their sons, and they have asked the Ukrainian government, where is their doll? Is it still alive? If they die, where will their pension bereavement money be? These questions put the Zelensky government in a very embarrassing situation.
Ninth, pre-war aspirations were frustrated.
Ukraine has been fooled by the United States and NATO for a long time! Ukraine dreams of joining NATO and the European Union and seeking the "protective umbrella" of the West. NATO wants Ukraine to continue to fight with Russia and continue to consume Russia, but it is absolutely impossible to admit Ukraine. A comedian who was played around by the United States and the West, used as a gun for others, and helped others count money. Now Ukraine has no hope of joining NATO, and joining the EU has encountered Hungary as a "roadblock". Could it be that Zelensky is still stubborn, and the goal of the war has come to naught, how can he still fight with all his heart? Is it true that the driver's brain has been fooled by the United States and the West, and he can't find any direction!
Tenth: Ozawa is powerless to return to the sky.
There is no doubt that the current Ukraine is suffering from internal and external troubles. With the aid package delayed in passing, the comedian's presidency is in jeopardy. Zelensky's regime has lost popular support, the Ukrainian army has lost patience to fight, and another major defeat will lead to internal collapse. Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Biden has been emphasizing that "we will support it for as long as it takes." Now, Biden's tone has changed all of a sudden, "being able to last one day is one day", this change in wording shows that the Biden administration is tired of Zelensky, and it is indeed possible to give up Ukraine, which is undoubtedly a "devastating" blow to drivers.
