It has been two weeks now that Russia waged war against Ukraine. On February 24, Russian President Putin’s army entered Ukraine for the first time. Since then, the Ukrainian army has saved Kyiv from Russian invasion. Last week, an organization quoted satellite images as saying that Russia has also deployed a 64-km-long fleet of tanks to surround Kyiv just outside the city. Despite this, Russia has so far failed to capture Kyiv. Now it has come to the fore that the attack on Ukraine for Russia has become a big problem for its own soldiers. In this, the weather of Ukraine turned out to be a big obstacle for Russia.
Significantly, this 64 km long fleet of tanks of Russia has not yet been successful in entering Kyiv. The ruined roads of Ukraine and the impasse in the supply of logistics are one of the reasons behind this. At the same time, the chilling cold of minus 20 degrees Celsius in Ukraine is proving fatal for Russian soldiers. Temperatures are likely to drop further in Kyiv and Kharkiv till this week due to cold wave.
Russian army tanks are stuck about 30 km from Kyiv due to heavy snowfall in Ukraine. In this severe cold, the Russian soldiers are neither getting supplies of logistics nor their plans are being successful. Meanwhile, tanks of many soldiers are facing difficulties in the supply of fuel.
According to former Major Kevin Price of the British Army, soldiers in tanks will be facing the most problems at this time, because the temperature will be further lower in tanks made entirely of iron. That is, these tanks would be doing the work of an iron freezer. In this situation the only way for them to escape is through heaters installed inside the tank, which run on fuel only. But since the supply line is completely broken, they will be under pressure not to use much fuel. That is, staying in these conditions for a long time will put the life of the soldiers in danger. Apart from this, those who will face this situation, their courage to fight the war ahead may also be lost.
Big chance for Ukrainian soldiers?
According to Price, this cold condition could be very beneficial for Ukrainian soldiers. Because the Russian soldiers are currently stranded and they must have either burned the fuel of their tanks or will be waiting for the supply to start with the tank closed. In this situation, Ukrainian soldiers can take advantage of the opportunity and work to disperse the tanks. For Russian soldiers, sitting in a tank is like feasting on death.
Did Putin not discuss with anyone the decision to send the army?
According to reports, this decision to send Russian troops to Ukraine has come down heavily on President Vladimir Putin. Some Kremlin officials expressed concerns about the move. Russian journalist Farida Rustamova said after leaving the country that Putin’s decision to wage war in Ukraine was sudden and that no one in Moscow expected Putin to give in to the threats.
