The recent situation in Ukraine is simply worrying. Not long ago, an elite unit of the Ukrainian army, the 47th Mechanized Brigade, was defeated by the Russian army on the side of Avadiivka.
As soon as this happened, it was really a bad feeling.
The fighting style of the Russian army is simply "hard-hitting", with bombers in the air and bombers on the ground, tanks and armored vehicles on the ground are swarmed up, and the troops on the Ukrainian side are like being pressed into a "pocket" and cannot move.
Moreover, I heard that the air defense system on the side of the Ukrainian army could not withstand it at all, and it was almost helpless in the face of the air attack of the Russian army.
So far, the morale of the Ukrainian army has fallen to the bottom. The soldiers watched their comrades fall one by one, and the discomfort in their hearts was so uncomfortable, don't mention it.
Moreover, you also know that once the morale of war is gone, the combat effectiveness will plummet.
Speaking of which, we have to mention the internal problems of the Ukrainian army. According to Western media reports, the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army was accused of sending inexperienced units with insufficient weapons and ammunition to the most dangerous places.
If this is true, it will be really chilling.
And, you know, war, once it starts, it's no joke. The soldiers on the side of the Ukrainian army, facing the fierce firepower of the Russian army, are simply suffering.
Surrender or capture may be a good outcome for them.
However, the Ukrainian military also made a ruthless move in order to prevent the soldiers from escaping or surrendering. They have assigned war supervisors in each company, and if they find a deserter or disobey orders, they will be punished on the spot, or even shot directly.
This kind of high-pressure method may have been somewhat useful in the past, but now, the soldiers have reached the point where they can no longer bear it.
Just a few days ago, there was a video circulating on the telegram of several Ukrainian soldiers digging a pit, preparing to bury a foreign warlord. In the video, the guy who was buried alive kept shouting in English, which was really sad to watch.
As soon as this incident came out, it really exposed the internal contradictions of the Ukrainian army.
After all, war is really too cruel. Those soldiers, they are also flesh and blood people, they also have families, and they also have their own dreams. But once they were drawn into the war, their lives changed completely.
They had to face the threat of death and had to make some extreme choices.
Moreover, war is not only the destruction of soldiers, but also its impact on society as a whole is far-reaching. War leads to economic decline, shatters countless families, and casts a shadow over the future development of entire countries.
So, every time I see news like this, I wonder what is the meaning of war? Will it really solve the problem? Or will it only complicate the problem? The war in eastern Ukraine has given us a profound warning: peace is the most precious treasure of mankind.
Of course, I also know that peace does not happen overnight, it requires the efforts of each and every one of us. We need to resolve differences through dialogue, through cooperation, and through mutual understanding to avoid war.
Only in this way can we collectively create a world free of war.
