Even the Russian army, with the most advanced air force and artillery, has yet to attack Kyiv with the capability it is known for. The circumstances created by Russian troops during the war are indicating that Putin has a different strategy.
It has been more than a week since the war between Russia and Ukraine. The battle for control over Kyiv continues to escalate. In such a situation, the question arises, why is it taking so long for the Russian army, one of the world’s most powerful and largest armies, to capture Ukraine? Are Ukrainian soldiers really giving tough resistance to Russia?
However, even the Russian army, with the most advanced air force and artillery, has yet to attack Kyiv with the capability it is known for. The circumstances created by Russian troops during the war are indicating that Putin has a different strategy. They have gradually taken possession of more than one lakh square kilometers of Ukraine.
Putin reminding of Chechen war Given the strategy Putin is proceeding, he seems to want to deprive Ukraine of the resources Ukrainian troops need to fight the war. Perhaps this is the reason why Russian troops are intensifying attacks on cities in Ukraine, which are major energy producers. This strategy of Putin is reminiscent of the Chechen war in 2000, how he won a major war by siege.
Russian army breaking Ukraine from the Black Sea
Russian forces are moving slowly in northern and southern Ukraine. Its strategy is to completely cut off Ukraine’s links with the Black Sea. Russian troops have already captured the town of Kherson, located near the Kalasagar. Now another city, the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, has also been attacked. Apart from this, the Russian army is also making strong attacks on the northern city of Odessa, which is connected to the Black Sea.
Russia capturing energy producing cities
After Odessa, the Russian army has also started taking Mariopol under its control. The fighting is intensifying over the Bandarshah cities here. These two cities produce a quarter of Ukraine’s electricity. Earlier it was confirmed by the Russian army itself that the government headquarters of the city of Kherson is now under its control.
Kharkiv also almost under control
Russia has also almost taken control of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city. Here Russia had landed its airtroopers. Since then the attacks in Kharkiv have intensified. According to sources, the Russian army has surrounded Kharkiv and this city has also come under its control.
20 percent in possession in seven days According to reports, the Russian army has captured 20 percent of Ukraine’s territory in the last seven days. More than a million square kilometers of Ukraine is under Russian control.
Russian army 19 miles from Kyiv
According to media reports, the Russian army is besieging Kyiv from all sides. Now the armored vehicles and soldiers of the Russian army are about 19 miles from Kyiv. A 64 km long Russian convoy was also seen outside Kyiv in the past. Its satellite photos were released.
what is chechen strategy
When the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Chechen became a separate country. However, Russia’s eye was always on this small country. Chechen is surrounded by Russia and part of it also shares with Serbia. Russia attacked Chechen in 1994. However, this attack was not successful. This was followed by the assassination of Russia’s top ambassador to Chechen, Gennady Shpigun, in 1999. This is where the second war against the Chechens began. Surrounding Chechen from all sides, Russia completely attacked it in 2000.
