The 90th Tank Division of the Russian Central Cluster has arrived at the western border of the Donetsk region and continues to advance westward with the goal of approaching Dnipro Prefecture.
This action means the Russian army's comprehensive retaliation against the attack on the airport, and it is also taking advantage of the situation to try to expand its control, especially the combat process in the western and northwest of Donetsk. By advancing westward, the Russian army hopes to solve the problem of the defense line of the Red Army Village-Don Constantine Rovka Fortress, paving the way for the subsequent Red Army Village Siege and the Battle of Konstantinovka.
In addition, this action can force the Ukrainian army to disperse its troops to cope with the pressure of multi-line combat, but then again, this action also faces challenges, because the Red Army village is surrounded on three sides, and the Ukrainian army is using the large area controlled to launch harassment and attacks in an attempt to compress the Russian army's offensive space. If NATO helps the Ukrainian army again to "catch turtles in a jar", the Russian army will lose a lot of money.
This move can be said to be a continuation of the military's "sausage-cutting tactics" and is also a key bargaining chip for international politics to force Ukraine to accept territorial losses. However, the Russian army is still the same problem. The Russian army faces multiple constraints such as dispersion of troops, resilience of the Ukrainian army and international intervention. It is difficult to completely control the Dnipro Prefecture. Now the Russian army is indeed a bit confident, which means that it cannot withstand a new round of defeat. I know that even if the loss cannot be defeated, it is still unknown whether the tank division will launch a large-scale attack.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said that the Russian army did not dare to advance towards Donetsk, pointing out that Russia is just scaring the Ukrainians, but the vice chairman of the Russian Security Conference said that the Russian army had launched an offensive in Dnepropetrovsk Oblast.
Although both sides have different opinions, it is obvious that there are no similar reports of war scenes in the international community, so whether the Russian tank division launched a full-scale attack to take down Kiev in one go, it is obviously not that easy, whether it sounds or does it.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov made it clear that if Ukraine refuses to recognize Russia's occupation of four states, the Russian side will "not only need four states". Dnipro Prefecture is a key link in the Russian army's "Eight State Plan". Controlling this place can divide Ukraine into east and west along the Dnipro River. The east is used as a buffer zone in Russia, and the west is reduced to an inland enclave.
It's just that Russia's internal friction in the war is too serious, and the tank division has gone out, but from my sense of smell of international geopolitical war, since the news "was so slowly", it means that the Russian army's ground troops have reached a difficult point, so what the Russian army is now probably adopting is to steadily advance westward with the limited goal of "controlling the highway and establishing buffer zones", rather than a full occupation of the lightning offensive.
Because war correspondents are work, although war is an objective fact, reporters put aside the factual reports, and they also want to photograph and obtain more news information and work value. It is obvious that the Russian tank division is still in the stage of "assembly under the city" and the fierce firefighting has not begun.
The bloody battle has not begun yet, but maybe I am waiting for something, waiting for cannon fodder? Otherwise, Russia went to the peninsula a few days ago to "what reinforcements"? Now the Russian army's strength and efficiency have indeed lost patience, which has led to the Russian army's military operations being literally delayed by half a month. If you want to know what the Russian tank division can be like, it will probably be another half a month later.
This delayed time, from another perspective, is simply giving NATO plenty of time to deploy troops for Ukraine to continue to consume Russia. Once the war is passively arbitrary, it is basically the end of the force.
