Russian army wreaked havoc after Putin’s order
On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in Ukraine. Within a few hours, the Russian army destroyed about 100 military bases in Ukraine. Not only this, Russia also completely ruined the air defense of Ukraine. After which Russian fighter aircraft, transport aircraft and helicopters easily entered the airspace of Ukraine and started carrying out the mission. The Russian Navy from the Black Sea side also paralyzed the Ukrainian Navy. The siege of Russia was so severe that the entire sea area of Ukraine came under the possession of the Russian Navy. The Russian Navy also captured many islands and land areas of Ukraine adjacent to Crimea by carrying out military operations. Ukraine’s spirits were completely dented by the Russian army’s attack from three sides and the loss of military contact with NATO. Russia has even claimed that many Ukrainian soldiers have laid down their weapons in the Donbas region.
What is Putin’s next plan after the capture of Kiev?
After the entry of Russian army into Kiev, questions are being raised as to what will be the next plan of Vladimir Putin. Will Putin withdraw his army after toppling Volodymyr Zelensky’s government, or will the Russian army remain grounded in Ukraine until a Moscow-backed puppet government is formed. Many are also of the view that the Russian army will return after completely occupying two areas of the Donbass region. They believe that the attack on Kiev was not part of Russia’s plan. This has been done only to send a stern message to America. Actually, America directly blamed Russia for this crisis. Ukraine also took the challenge from Russia only after coming under the influence of America. In such a situation, Putin was under tremendous pressure to give a tough message to Ukraine.
Putin wants to teach Ukraine a lesson
Experts believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to teach Ukraine a hard lesson. He has been successful to a great extent in this mission. The second thing is that due to this the image of his arch-rival America has also been badly damaged. Even the countries threatening war with the help of America are now getting an idea of the reality. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has been trying to strengthen ties with the US since becoming president in 2019. He never gave importance to Russia’s concerns. Not only this, he had promised to get his country membership of the European Union and NATO by amending the Constitution of Ukraine to provoke Russia. This was the reason why Russia began to feel that Ukraine was no longer going to understand any language other than military power. In April of 2021 also, millions of Russian army soldiers camped on the border of Ukraine, but after a few months they withdrew.
Donbas area will be snatched from the hands of Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin is also ready to snatch the entire area of Donbass from Ukraine. Putin has already recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk. They clearly believe that Ukraine was a colony with a puppet regime and had no right to exist. This was reminiscent of Putin’s 2021 article about the collapse of the USSR, when he denied Ukrainian sovereignty and identity by saying that Russia and the people of Ukraine were one and the same. Putin’s military action has a strong message for other former Soviet countries as well. In such a situation, these countries will also think 10 times before being close to NATO or America.
On February 22, Putin’s sharp attitude indicated
Vladimir Putin made his intentions clear at the meeting of the Russian Security Council in Moscow on 22 February. He had fiercely instructed Sergei Naryshkin, the director of the Russian intelligence agency, in front of all the top officials and politicians. Putin’s questions were so sharp that Sergei Naryshkin’s tongue began to falter. The big thing was that the entire incident was being telecasted live. Indeed, Sergei Naryshkin favored direct annexation of Donetsk and Luhansk, rather than recognizing the independence of them. The meeting was held just before these two parts of Ukraine were granted independent republic status. Putin’s sharp attitude had told that he was not going to back down without teaching Ukraine a hard lesson.
