Ukraine in full recovery on the military level, where the Russia he is taking defeat after defeat and sees his dream of conquering all of Donbass compromised. The reversal of the military balance in favor of Ukraine is the result of the aid that the West has made available to Kiev, which with drones, satellites, spy planes, and the new weapons and strategic intelligence of General Oleksandr Sirsky, commander of the Ukrainian ground forces, is catching up day by day. In the conflict between Russia and Ukraine which has been going on since 24 February, the most important and partly unexpected novelty of the last few hours is the liberation in a single day by the troops of Kiev of the city Kupiansk, which had been conquered and tortured by the Russians immediately after the invasion, and that of Izyum.
THE UKRAINIAN LIBERATION OF KUPIANSK IS A DEATH BLOW FOR MOSCOW
“The liberation of Kupansk - reports British intelligence in particular - it is a heavy blow for Moscow because the Ukrainian city is located along the supply routes of the front line of the Donbass“. Kupiansk is the only railway hub in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine: losing that means Moscow will no longer be able to transport heavy supplies, starting with tanks and ammunition, by rail. A decisive setback for the Russians while Kiev now aims to reconquer all of Donbass in order to be able to sit down at the peace negotiating table from positions of strength.
The Russians minimize and argue that their withdrawal from Kupiansk serves to better reorganize the troops to resume the offensive in the Donbass but reality says otherwise.
FOR THE RUSSIANS THE CONQUEST OF DONBASS BECOMES A CHIMERA
“Since the beginning of the month – affirms the Ukrainian president Volodymyr with legitimate satisfaction Zelensky – we have reconquered 2 thousand square kilometers of territory, freeing it from Russian forces”. It is a step forward that gives confidence to Kiev even if the war is not over but since yesterday the conquest of all of Donbass has become a chimera for the Russians while the Ukrainians are beginning to truly hope for the full liberation of their tormented country.
