On May 10, the day of Putin's inauguration, the Klan army actually raided the Russian mainland, and the Russian army retaliated with thunder within 24 hours. Ukraine's attack on the Luhansk oil depot not only caused casualties and damage to facilities, but also affected the local energy supply and residents' lives. In response, the Russian army carried out large-scale strikes on power facilities in many parts of Ukraine, causing Ukraine to fall into a nationwide power shortage. Although the Ukrainian army used searchlights to search for drones during the Russian attack in an attempt to reduce the threat, the fierce offensive of the Russian army still caused heavy damage to Ukraine's energy system. The war has escalated again, and we can't help but ask: when will the conflict between Russia and Ukraine end? How long will the game last? How much more suffering will ordinary people endure?
The sudden attack reignited the flames of war
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has reached a stalemate, but I didn't expect that on the day of Putin's inauguration, the Ukrainian army launched a surprise attack on the Russian mainland. According to reports, the Ukrainian army carried out a strike on an oil depot located in the Luhansk region, as a result of which five staff members were injured, and power lines and gas pipelines were also damaged. This attack not only directly affected the local energy supply, but also rekindled this protracted war. In the face of the provocation of the Ukrainian army, Russia will naturally not sit idly by. Jing immediately made a decision and ordered a large-scale counterattack against Ukraine.
Why did the Ukrainian army attack at this time?
The Ukrainian army's sudden attack this time makes people ask: Why did they choose this point in time? And what do you want to achieve? Some analysts believe that the actions of the Ukrainian army are aimed at spoiling the atmosphere of Putin's inauguration and showing Russia and the international community that Ukraine has not given up resistance. At the same time, it may also be that the Ukrainian army is trying to disrupt the deployment of the Russian army through sneak attacks in order to reverse the disadvantage on the battlefield. However, in the face of Russia, which has a huge disparity in strength, Ukraine's approach is undoubtedly playing with fire. And the rapid response of the Russian army has once again proved its absolute dominance in this conflict.
The Russian army counterattacked rapidly, and the Ukrainian energy system was hit hard
Russia responded immediately after the attack by the Ukrainian army. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Russian army dispatched a large number of missiles and drones to carry out large-scale strikes on the power infrastructure of 6 Ukrainian oblasts. A total of 12 energy facilities were damaged during the operation, with three thermal power plants being the most severely affected. The State Electricity Company of Ukraine later confirmed that power rationing measures had to be implemented in many places due to power shortages.
"According to preliminary statistics, the attack affected nearly 30% of the mainland's power generation. In order to ensure the stability of the power grid and the operation of vital facilities, we have had to implement rotational power rationing across the country. This was stated by the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Khalushchenko.
In addition to the direct impact, the Russian army's strikes have also brought serious collateral damage to Ukraine's energy system. Many power facilities are difficult to repair due to a lack of spare parts, and transmission lines are also disrupted in many places. It is reported that the capital Kyiv and its surrounding areas can only maintain 50% of the electricity load at present, and some areas are even completely dark. As winter approaches, the impact of power shortages will become even more prominent. Without sufficient electricity, the basic life of the Ukrainian people such as heating and lighting will be seriously affected.
The Ukrainian army used searchlights to search, and the Russian-Ukrainian game escalated
While suffering from the fierce attack of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army is not completely in the position of being passively beaten. According to footage from the scene, the Ukrainian army used high-power searchlights over several cities to search for Russian drones. Although this approach helps to detect and shoot down incoming drones and reduce further losses, it also exposes the weakness of the Ukrainian army's air defense system. The strong beam not only affects the lives of ordinary residents, but may also become the target of a new round of strikes by the Russian army. It can be said that although the Ukrainian army's move was forced to do so, it also intensified the intensity of the conflict. The back-and-forth game between the two sides has escalated the war again.
On the one hand, Ukraine is trying to use raids and other means to find a breakthrough on the battlefield. Russia, on the other hand, is constantly consolidating its dominant position through large-scale counterattacks. On the other hand, energy infrastructure has become a new focal point for the two sides. The Ukrainian army's attack on the oil depot is intended to hit the economic lifeline of Russia. The Russian army has taken the destruction of power facilities as its main goal and cut off Ukraine's "lifeline". However, this life-and-death confrontation has brought disastrous consequences to the common people.
Civilians are the most injured in the escalating conflict
The most innocent victims of this protracted conflict are undoubtedly ordinary people. They bear the brunt of the trauma and suffering caused by the war. And as both sides shift from military installations to civilian infrastructure, civilians will find themselves in a more difficult position.
"Power outages have made life a mess. Without electricity, we have problems even cooking and heating. Not to mention that the children still have to prepare for exams, but the computers and desk lamps are not available. Kyiv citizen Irina said helplessly.
In addition to daily life, the war has also profoundly affected Ukraine's economy and people's livelihood. Frequent attacks have led to a significant drop in factory operating rates, and agricultural production has been stalled by fuel shortages. According to statistics, Ukraine's GDP has fallen by more than 30% since the full-scale outbreak of the conflict, and inflation is as high as 20%. A large number of people have lost their jobs and their lives are in dire straits. I don't know how long the trauma of war will last.
The suffering caused by war is comprehensive and profound. When the artillery fire rages, people lose not only electricity and warmth, but also a peaceful life and a bright future. This conflict has long gone beyond Ukraine and Russia, and it is about peace and stability in Europe and the world. The international community should pay close attention to the developments and work hard to stop violence and restore peace. Only when the flames of war are extinguished can people regain their long-lost tranquility.
Netizens were hotly discussing and expressing their opinions
This incident quickly caused heated discussions among netizens on the Internet, and everyone had different opinions on it.
"Every day shouting about a counterattack on Crimea, as a result, the people are choked enough, and the Ukrainian government should also reflect and reflect." "The European and American media will only blindly criticize Russia, but they don't know that Ukraine itself is also provoking. This time you deserve to suffer a big loss!" "Alas, after so many years of war, Russia and Ukraine are not willing to take a step back. It is the common people who suffer the most, and they feel distressed when they look at it. "Actually, this war should have ended a long time ago, it's just that the United States doesn't want to let go easily. The great powers played chess behind their backs, and Ukraine fell victim. "I sympathize with Ukrainian civilians, but I also have to say that the Ukrainian government is responsible. Blind belligerence does no one good, and peaceful dialogue is the right way. "
As can be seen from the comments of netizens, everyone is not without sympathy for the blow suffered by Ukraine. But for the Ukrainian government itself, netizens also have a lot of complaints. Many believe that Ukraine should not be blindly tough, but should seek a path to a peaceful solution. At the same time, the impact of external forces on the conflict is also a cause for concern. Many netizens believe that the United States and other Western countries have played a role in fueling the flames. In short, there is a general hope that the war will end as soon as possible and that peace will return to the land.
War does not solve problems, peace is the last word
War is never a solution to problems, it brings only harm and suffering. For Ukraine and Russia, the military conflict has seriously affected the economies and livelihoods of both countries. The frequent attacks have plunged both sides into a war of attrition, at a staggering cost. Not to mention, the war has also spread to Europe and the world, causing a series of problems such as the energy crisis and soaring prices. It can be said that this conflict has long gone beyond the scope of Ukraine and Russia and has become a major event affecting world peace.
Regrettably, however, even though the consequences of the war have become so apparent, the warring parties still seem reluctant to stop there. Both Russia and Ukraine are increasing their chips and trying to force each other to make concessions with a more fierce offensive. But instead of solving the problem, this approach has proved to be more acute. With each escalation, the civilian population has to pay a greater price.
The only way forward is to stop the war and restore peace. For Ukraine and Russia, any further fight like this will only be a lose-lose situation. Even if one side has the upper hand temporarily, it will end up with no return. Both sides should put aside their prejudices and return to the negotiating table. A win-win situation can only be achieved through dialogue on an equal footing and the resolution of disputes in a peaceful manner. The international community should also play a constructive role in promoting peace talks to stop the war. Only with the joint efforts of all parties can peace be restored to the land of Donbass, and people can truly bid farewell to the haze of war.
The lessons of war are profound enough, but how much more suffering do we have to go through before we can wake up? Let us join hands and call for peace and put an end to war. Only when the country no longer talks lightly can the artillery fire stop forever. At that time, the people of Donbass can truly usher in a better tomorrow where they can live and work in peace and contentment.
