Slogans calling for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine

Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed Russian Defense Minister shoigu to implement a ceasefire system across the Ukrainian contact line from 02: 00 A.D. 654381October 6 to 24: 00 A.D. 654381October 7.

We should know that on the occasion of the New Year, the Russian Ministry of Defence recently announced that the Ukrainian armed forces had attacked the temporary deployment site of Russian troops in the Makeyevka region of Donetsk, killing 63 Russian soldiers.

The Ukrainian side even released a message saying, "Greetings and congratulations to separatists and conscripts. They were taken to occupied Makeyevka and crowded into the vocational school building. Santa Claus packed about 400 bodies in bags. "

According to common sense, it is time for Russia to fight back. So, why did Putin issue this order?

According to Russian media reports such as the Tass news agency, Putin called on Ukraine to declare a ceasefire and allow them to participate in religious activities during the Orthodox Christmas, because a large number of citizens who believe in the Orthodox Church live in the special military operation zone.

However, in response to Putin's decision, Ukrainian President Zelensky said in a regular video speech that he did not think it was necessary to cease fire during traditional festivals.

In addition to Zelensky's disdain, the British Foreign Secretary also ran out to brush the sense of existence, saying that "it is better to withdraw troops than to cease fire in Russia".

In addition, when talking about Putin's 36-hour ceasefire proposal, US President Biden said, "He tried to find some breathing space."

It can be seen that the United States and the West have no will to cease fire.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba believes that Russia is striving for a breathing space, and Putin's unilateral ceasefire proposal "cannot and should not be taken seriously".

Therefore, Russia wants a ceasefire, but Ukraine does not agree.

In fact, according to Russian media reports, it can be confirmed that the news of Bishop kirill's call for a Christmas truce actually appeared earlier on June 5, 65438 10, and Putin and other Russian high-level officials almost "followed closely" and immediately responded to kirill's call. The news of the armistice on the evening of June 54381October 5 has been published in the Russian media, which obviously has some connections.

Some analysts believe that although Russian officials have not made it clear, a ceasefire is actually the best language. Once the Ukrainian army also takes the initiative to cease fire, it shows that Zelensky is willing to talk to Russia. But at present, Zelensky, the United States and western countries have made it very clear that they do not want a ceasefire and negotiations.

As a result, public opinion seems to have changed dramatically.

All along, the propaganda of the United States and the West has almost slandered Russia, and some foreign media have directly labeled Russia as an "aggressor".

Russia took the initiative to demand a ceasefire this time, and the subsequent influence that Ukraine did not accept came out, that is, let the world see the true face of the Ukrainian and Zelensky regimes and the hypocritical faces of the United States and the West.

At present, the worst is Zelensky, who neither retreats nor advances.

Some analysts said that Putin is a chess player after all, and this time he directly pushed Zelensky into a dilemma.

At present, NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg has warned that there is no indication at this stage that Russia has changed its special military action plan and objectives against Ukraine, and it is extremely dangerous to underestimate Russia. Stoltenberg reiterated his consistent position that it is necessary for NATO member countries to further increase their defense spending. On the same day, he once again stressed the importance of increasing investment in the security field.

In fact, it is not good for both sides to continue the stalemate between Russia and Ukraine. At present, the losses in Ukraine are immeasurable, Kiev is in chaos, and the military assistance of the United States and the West will one day be exhausted. Continuing the conflict also means that Ukraine is accelerating towards the abyss of failure.

Media: Russian soldiers are now disobedient. Putin ordered a ceasefire to give the Russian army a breathing space.

According to Sputnik news agency and radio station, Russian President Vladimir Putin suddenly made an abnormal decision and ordered a 36-hour ceasefire on the entire contact line in Ukraine from Moscow time1October 6 12: 00.

Putin explained that the move was in consideration of the "Christmas Truce" proposed by Russian Patriarch kirill, so that a large number of Orthodox Christians living in the war zone could participate in Christmas religious and ceremonial activities.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba believes that this is Russia's double-standard behavior. He pointed out that Russian attacks continued on Christmas Eve and New Year's Day: shelling Hellson and launching large-scale missile and drone attacks. Therefore, Russia's "unilateral ceasefire" cannot and should not be taken seriously.

Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the President's Office of Ukraine, believes that if Russia can withdraw its troops from occupied Ukraine, Ukraine can consider Russia's proposal for a temporary truce. But obviously, once the Russian army withdraws, it means that all previous efforts have been wasted, which is also a huge blow to the morale of the Russian army.

Ukrainian President Zelensky said in a regular video address that there was no need to accept the Russian ceasefire initiative. He believes that Putin's ceasefire order is only to stop Ukraine from advancing in the direction of Donbass, and to replenish weapons and equipment during this period. This shows that Uzbekistan believes that Russia is currently losing at the front.

Indeed, the Russian army suffered heavy losses a few days ago. Due to the illegal actions of Russian soldiers, a temporary deployment point of the Russian army was attacked by Ukrainian rockets, and 89 Russian soldiers were killed. This is the worst attack on the Russian army since the Russian-Ukrainian war.

It is believed that the Russian army suffered such losses because the illegal use of mobile phones is only an appearance. What is reflected behind it is that the Russian army has begun to disobey the orders of its superiors. This is probably because some soldiers on the front line of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are bored, especially at the New Year node that should be celebrated. This sense of contrast intensifies people's aversion to war.

Then it is reasonable for Putin to order a ceasefire. On the one hand, it can give the Russian army a breathing space and stabilize its mood. On the other hand, it can redraw the battlefield strategy and mobilize combat readiness materials during this period.

Experts believe that the Russian military's next tactic is to launch endless attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities through missiles and drones, although this is a long-term consumption tactic, and in the context of continuous assistance from the United States and Western countries, this tactic is not conducive to Russia. However, with huge energy resources, this may be the best strategy that Russia can adopt.

Another fatal weakness of this tactic is the need for a large number of missiles and drones. Once the supply of weapons is cut off, the battlefield situation will be reversed in an instant. According to many reports, a large number of drones used by the Russian army are provided by Iran. At present, the United States is cooperating with some countries to implement new restrictions on Iran, including restricting Iran's access to raw materials for manufacturing drones.

In other words, if the Russian-Ukrainian conflict front continues to lengthen until the Russian side runs out of ammunition, Iran will also be in trouble. Of course, running out of ammunition is indeed an exaggeration. After all, Putin has only recently approved "unlimited funds" for the Russian army, and the Russian military production line is stepping up the production of weapons and equipment, including a series of the most advanced weapons.

As long as Russia can maintain its dominant position in air strikes, it is not impossible to buy drone technology from Iran, which is clearly on the opposite side of the United States and the West. Iran will not hesitate to help Russia if the United States strengthens sanctions.

Obviously, if both Russia and Ukraine refuse to make concessions, this conflict will not only be difficult to end, but will continue to expand into a worldwide waste of resources. Peace talks are the obvious optimal solution, but they are not the optimal solution for some countries to seek geopolitical interests.
