Originally, I thought that the assistance of the United States and the West was a "charcoal in the snow", but I didn't expect that it was a hornet's nest, and Kyiv had a big event, and Putin put away his benevolence and began to move seriously. "Dagger" missiles and drones bombarded for a week, and the Ukrainian army has no choice?
Recently, for Ukraine, it may be a turning point in its fate. We all know that the reason why this Russia-Ukraine war has been fought so far is that the assistance of the United States and the West plays a crucial role. Shortly before that, the US Congress finally passed an aid bill of nearly $61 billion, which gave some hope to the beleaguered Kyiv regime. After all, the biggest problem facing the Ukrainian army on the battlefield is the serious shortage of weapons and ammunition, and the assistance provided by the United States and its allies at this time is undoubtedly a "charcoal in the snow", which has solved Kyiv's urgent need. Judging from the results, the "charcoal in the snow" in Zelensky's eyes may now have turned into a hornet's nest.
According to the combat report recently released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, in the past week, in response to the Kyiv regime's attempts to sabotage Russian energy and industrial facilities, the Russian army has launched 35 cluster strikes using sea-based and air-based long-range precision weapons. In addition to this, the Russian army also launched strikes on the temporary deployment points of Ukrainian nationalist forces and foreign mercenaries, the living forces and military equipment warehouses accumulated by the Ukrainian army at railway loading and unloading stations. Through the combat data released by the Russian Ministry of Defense, it is not difficult to find that the results of the Russian air defense system in the past week are also quite rich. In just seven days, the Russian army shot down 1 Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter, 1 Su-25 attack aircraft, 18 "Hammer" aviation guided bombs and 1,659 drones. It is worth mentioning that in the military operation launched this week, the Russian army used hypersonic "Dagger" missiles and drones to strike Ukraine-related military targets.
It is not difficult to see that the assistance of the United States and the West may be a backer in the eyes of Kyiv and a hope to continue fighting, but from Russia's point of view, this undoubtedly breaks all its illusions and makes the peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian issue a joke. So Putin had to recognize the reality this time, put away his benevolence and began to move seriously. Kyiv is obviously unacceptable to the Russian army's use of "Dagger" hypersonic missiles and drones to bombard for a week. But the current situation is also self-inflicted. After all, Putin has not given Kiev a chance before, including the peace talks plan, which has always been in Russia's consideration. However, the Kyiv regime does not know what to do, categorically rejects the goodwill given by Russia, and completely bets its hopes on the United States and the West.
In this case, there is also a limit to the patience of the fighting nations, and Kyiv will have to taste some bitterness if it pokes the hornet's nest. The Russian army is proving with practical actions that the end of mercy will be a crazy rainstorm, and this week of heavy bombardment is likely to be just the beginning. From this point of view, Kyiv is obviously on the shelf, and the Ukrainian army now has no choice but to raise the white flag in time, otherwise, it will only fight for the interests of the United States and the West until the last Ukrainian remains.
