The international situation is constantly changing, and unexpected major events appear every day.
Just recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky removed the commander of the Ukrainian army, Zaluzhny, and replaced him with a new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army. Zaluzhny was arranged by the Ukrainian top level to be Ukraine's ambassador to the United Kingdom, but Zaluzhny refused to go to the United Kingdom to be ambassador. As a professional soldier, Zaluzhny very much hopes to go to the front line to command the Ukrainian army troops to resist the Russian attack, and repay Zelensky's trust and kindness with his own efforts.
However, the cronyistic Zelensky no longer believes in Zaporozhye's loyalty. From the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war to the present, the Ukrainian army has suffered at least 1.5 million casualties, and the rear of Ukraine has been captured on a large scale, the front line is in chaos, and a large number of Ukrainian troops have surrendered in formations. As the supreme leader of the Ukrainian army and the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, Zelens should basically take full responsibility for the defeat of the Ukrainian army. However, Zelensky's own attitude towards the defeat is - without reflecting on and shirking responsibility, Zelensky asked Zaluzhny to scapegoat the failure of the Ukrainian army, and directly removed Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army.
After Zaluzhny was removed, the Ukrainian army ushered in the largest fiasco since the beginning of 2024, which is also the biggest victory of the Russian army at the beginning of 2024, that is, tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops or the entire army was annihilated.
Let's analyze the latest situation in the current battle between the Russian army and the Ukrainian army.
The Russian army launched counterattacks against the Ukrainian army in several strategic directions. The offensive operations of the Russian army in the Krasnogovka direction have made a series of progress, and the fortified defensive positions of the Ukrainian army in the Avadiivka direction have been fully broken through by the Russian army.
On the northern road, the Donetsk militia has made a comprehensive counterattack with the support of Wagner's troops under the cover of powerful artillery fire, and has made a series of advances on the main railway line, posing a direct and fatal threat to the logistics and supply of the Ukrainian army. The Ukrainian army relied on the defensive positions in the city to resist desperately, especially some chemical plants, railway stations and other solid defensive positions, and the Ukrainian army's attack on the Donetsk militia and Wagner can be said to be stubbornly defended and fought very hard. But I believe that the strength of the Wagner forces and the Donetsk militia can capture the defensive positions of the Ukrainian army on the northern front as soon as possible.
In the defensive positions on the southern front, the Russian army gathered a force to carry out a comprehensive counterattack, and the Ukrainian army relied on multiple defensive support points such as the factory area to resist stubbornly, and each defensive stronghold deployed a battalion of Ukrainian troops of about several hundred people. Although the troops are not large, the Ukrainian army hopes to fight these strongholds on the southern front like Stalingrad in a difficult defensive battle, so the resistance of the Ukrainian army is becoming more and more tenacious, and the Russian army's offensive has suffered many setbacks. The 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army and other units organized many breakouts, but they were all pushed back by the Russian army. Therefore, at present, in the defensive positions on the southern front, the Russian army's offensive has not made much progress, but the Russian army's continuous attrition and persistent resistance and counterattack have caused the Ukrainian army to pay heavy casualties.
Combined with the above analysis, it is not difficult to find that the Ukrainian army in the defensive position of Avadiivka fought extremely tenacious, but in order to take this town, the Russian army invested a series of elite troops such as Wagner troops to counterattack, and the elite unit of the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian army suffered heavy casualties. Now the battle between the Ukrainian army and the Russian army has reached the time of fighting endurance, and whoever can hold out until the last five minutes will be able to achieve the final victory in the war.
In the direction of the Pervomaisky offensive in the southern region, the Russian army opened up new battlefields, which posed a direct threat to the defensive positions of other strongholds of the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian army, defending the city, faced a lot of difficulties.
The troops defending the city of the Ukrainian army resisted to the death, but the city was basically shattered by the artillery fire of the Russian army. Although the total of 6 strongholds in the north and south has not been taken down, the overall defensive position of the Ukrainian army is indeed unable to hold up. Only the Ukrainian army in the stronghold of the chemical plant is still resisting, and the Ukrainian army in the other 5 strongholds has stopped resisting.
The defensive logistics of the Ukrainian army was cut off by the Russian army, especially the two units of the 110th Brigade and the 116th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army on the southern front, whose logistics supply lines were directly cut off by the Russian army, and the final outcome was inevitably the annihilation of the entire army. At that time, the Russian army will inevitably annihilate the 110th Brigade and the 116th Brigade, as well as the Ukrainian army of other independent battalion-level combat units.
The defensive operations of the Ukrainian army can be said to have reached the point of exhaustion, the Russian Air Force used a large number of guided bombs to accurately bomb the Ukrainian army, and the Ukrainian army can be said to use its own flesh and blood to resist the modern army of the Russian army. The whole operation was fought in a World War II mode of urban defense warfare. In the face of the all-out offensive of the Russian army, how long can the Ukrainian army hold out? I'm afraid no one can give an accurate answer.
The new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army has indeed taken office, but can the new commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army change the situation of the battle on the front line? The Ukrainian army does not consider the feelings of the officers and soldiers on the front line at all, and a large number of officers and soldiers of the Ukrainian army who are sent to the front line are directly used as cannon fodder without even training, and many soldiers of the Ukrainian army are used at will without any basic military training.
From a purely military point of view, the new commander of the Ukrainian army will not change the situation of the war, because the entire Ukrainian military system has rotted since the day he captured the strong man as cannon fodder. Zelensky overstepped his command and removed the post of commander-in-chief at will, which is a taboo for soldiers. But Zelensky is the first to be wrong.
If we consider it from the perspective of the development of the world situation, it will be found that the operation of the Ukrainian army will inevitably fail. What kind of popular morale does Ukraine have if it wants to end the war, it must seriously negotiate with Russia and stop fighting meaningless wars.
