Recently, according to the latest news report from Reuters, the Russian army has approached the Chasov runner-up army in eastern Ukraine, and now for Ukraine, the war situation can be described as very tense and a key battle for life and death. Not only because the Chasov runner-up is the core strategic position of Ukraine, but more importantly, it is very likely that Russia will repeat the battle of Bakhmut in the Chasov runner-up.
Last year's Battle of Bakhmut was called the "Battle of the Meat Grinder" of the 21st century, and you must know that in the history of large-scale wars among mankind, only the Battle of Verdun in World War I was called the "Battle of the Meat Grinder". From this, we can see how cruel and bloody Bakhmut was at that time, as well as the length of duration and the number of deaths, enough to have the same name as the Battle of Verdun.
The most important thing is that in the battle of Bakhmut, Ukraine suffered heavy losses, and Russia consumed almost all of Ukraine's main main forces in this long and cruel battle, resulting in the soldiers sent by Ukraine to the frontline battlefield in the future are either untrained recruits or mercenaries hired by foreign money. It is also this battle that has laid the root cause and hidden danger for Ukraine's imminent "defeat", to a certain extent, since the end of the battle of Bakhmut, the victory and defeat of Russia and Ukraine have been divided.
And now, after the Russian army captured Avdeyeka in February, it has made great strides into the hinterland of Ukraine, and now it is aiming at the strategic location of the Chasov runner-up army, where Russia may plan to completely end up with Ukraine, intending to exhaust Ukraine's last bit of combat power in the Chasov runner-up army. It is very likely that the Russian army will not capture the Chasov runner-up army in a short time, but now as a carefully arranged "trap", waiting for the Ukrainian army to come to the rescue, and slowly reap the results in the Chasov runner-up army.
Obviously, after Zelens also realized this, and after the Russian army used attack drones and various types of missiles to launch a deadly strike on Ukraine's infrastructure and energy base. Zelensky was about to surrender, changing the previous tone of "Ukraine will never surrender even if it fights to the last man", and was willing to negotiate and reconcile with Russia, but when Russia gave a plan for peace talks, Zelensky said that he could not accept it, and the peace talks broke down.
Therefore, when Ukraine's retreat has been cut off by Zelensky, it can only face the enemy head-on. But Zelensky knows very well that with his own strength, in the face of a powerful Russia, mayflies can only shake the tree, and he can only rely on external forces. According to the latest relevant news reports, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently met with a delegation from the US Congress, and the main purpose of this meeting is to ask the US Congress to hurry up and provide the next step of assistance to Ukraine. But now that the United States is in crisis, I am afraid that it is also powerless to take care of Ukraine.
In the past, the United States and NATO countries rushed to take the initiative to provide assistance to Ukraine, but now it has fallen to the point where Zelensky is shy and begging others for money and weapons. The United States and NATO are no longer as active in providing assistance as before, and they may have classified Ukraine as worthless and useless. Even if Zelensky succeeds in getting aid this time, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it is far from extinguishing this monstrous fire.
