2023-10-12 05:23:17

Israel and Palestine are at war again, and fighting has resumed in the Middle East. The United States’ attention has been distracted. However, the fierce confrontation on the Russian-Ukrainian frontline continues. Currently, 110,000 Russian troops have gathered on the Donbas frontline, and thousands of tanks are firing. The Ukrainian army’s frontline is in danger. .

The Ukrainian army’s major counteroffensive has lasted for four months. Most of the troops that Ukraine has reserved for the counteroffensive have been deployed on the battlefield. However, after paying a heavy price, the overall progress is not as good as expected.

According to the Chinese media “Phoenix TV”, the Russian army is launching an offensive on the northern front of Donbas. Uzbekistan said that the Russian army has assembled 110,000 people and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles there.

In response, the Ukrainian army urgently mobilized the 25th Airborne Division, the 14th, 43rd and 92nd Mechanized Brigades to rush to the front line. Another foreign mercenary team was also urgently mobilized from Kharkov.

At present, the Ukrainian army has switched from offense to defense in the direction of Donetsk, focusing its main energy on strengthening defense.

On the Donetsk battlefield, the Russian army, with the support of artillery, aircraft and heavy artillery systems, defeated many attacks by the Ukrainian army and eliminated enemy reconnaissance groups. On the battlefields of Bakhmut, Malinka and Kupyansk, the Russian army deployed more than 1,500 barrel artillery pieces and 450 rockets to launch a fierce offensive against the Ukrainian army positions in an effort to regain the lost positions.

In addition, the Russian army is weakening the combat potential of the Ukrainian army through drones, long-range missiles and other methods. For example, the Russian Aerospace Force has carried out large-scale bombings of infrastructure such as Ukraine’s power system, transportation hubs, ports and maintenance factories. At the same time, Russia stated that more than 300,000 people have signed service contracts, and this group of people will eventually be sent to the front line.

In addition to facing military challenges, Ukraine also faces the reality of slowed down US military aid. At present, military aid to Ukraine has become a pawn in the domestic power struggle in the United States. The battle for the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and the subsequent presidential election are likely to cause the United States to stop military aid.

It is reported that the United States currently has only US$1.5 billion in funds to assist Ukraine. The Republican Party has made it clear that it firmly opposes the White House’s unlimited military aid to Ukraine. Therefore, this money is likely to be the final funding.

At the beginning of this month, Russian President Putin made a statement on the current international situation and the war between Russia and Ukraine. He said that since the Ukrainian counterattack in June, the Ukrainian army has lost 90,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles. At present, Ukraine relies almost entirely on NATO support for its finances and weapons and equipment. Once it stops, the Ukrainian army can only hold on for a week.

Putin emphasized that the goals of Russia’s special military operations will definitely be achieved. However, the Ukrainian army countered that it had defeated the invading Russian army on all fronts. In any case, the current battle situation shows that the Russian army has turned from defense to offense and regained the initiative on the battlefield.

The war in the Middle East has resumed, and the United States’ attention has been distracted. However, the fierce confrontation on the Russian-Ukrainian frontline continues. Currently, 110,000 Russian troops have gathered on the Donbas frontline, and thousands of tanks are opening fire. The Ukrainian army’s frontline may be in danger.

The Ukrainian army urgently mobilized the 25th Airborne Division, the 14th, 43rd and 92nd Mechanized Brigades to rush to the front line, and another foreign mercenary team was also urgently mobilized from Kharkov.
