China News Service, July 5 (Reporter Meng Xiangjun) Foreign media admitted that Russia's military operations in Ukraine ushered in the "most significant and iconic" victory to date.

  On July 3, local time, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin that the Russian army and the Luhansk armed forces have completely controlled the Luhansk region.

  In this way, the Russian army will inevitably form further constraints on the Ukrainian army and occupy a more favorable position in the strategic situation.

As the Russian army continues to advance, the next war will be staged soon!

[The Russian army won, Putin proposed]

  The Russian side said that, including the city of Lisichansk and surrounding settlements, everything in Luhansk is currently under the control of the Russian army and local pro-Russian armed forces.

Within 24 hours, the Russian army controlled a total area of ​​182 square kilometers of land.

  Putin congratulated the Russian army and made two proposals:

  First, if you are tired, rest.

  Putin said that the Russian soldiers involved in the occupation "should rest and recuperate", while the rest of the Russian army should continue to fight.

  Second, win, reward.

  Putin proposed that all outstanding performances in Ukraine's special military operations be given state incentives.

  According to foreign media reports, Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Army, inspected the Russian combat troops, which proved that the Russian army has achieved a major victory on the front line.

  In addition, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the 3rd that since the start of the special military operation, various types of equipment of the Ukrainian army have been destroyed to show the heavy losses of the Ukrainian army.

These gear include:

  229 aircraft

  134 helicopters

  1,440 drones

  353 sets of anti-aircraft missile systems

  3893 tanks and other armored vehicles

  ·704 multiple rocket launchers

  ·3078 field artillery and mortars

  3979 special military vehicles

  Russia will choose to pursue the victory.

According to the previous statement, the Russian army will take full control of the Donbas region as soon as possible, strangling Ukraine's "throat of fate".

[The Ukrainian army withdraws, the key battle is coming?

  Luhansk and Severo-Donetsk fell one after another, putting enormous pressure on Ukraine.

Earlier, Sak, an adviser to the Ukrainian Defense Minister, said harshly that even if the Russian army captured the entire Luhansk region, the battle for the Donbass "will not end."

The fall of Luhansk, the Russian army declared a major victory, and the battle of Ukraine was transferred to Donetsk.

  However, on the 3rd, the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff posted on social media that after the fierce battle in Lisichansk, the Ukrainian Defense Forces were "forced to withdraw from their positions and defense lines."

Under the post, it also attached a picture, which said: "Lisichansk: We will be back", and the Ukrainian army will eventually "victory".

  Instead of defending like Mariupol, he organized a "tactical evacuation", indicating that the Ukrainian army needs to minimize head-on confrontation and maintain its vitality. There must be key points to defend later.

  Where will the next battlefield be?

  Asked whether the Russian army and the Luhansk armed forces will be more active in the direction of Donetsk and Kharkov, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov only said that the special military operation is proceeding according to the existing plan.

Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov.

  In fact, as long as Peskov does not deny it, according to the current rhythm of the Russian army, it is a "sure thing" to continue advancing towards Donetsk.

Russian military observer Khodarenok analyzed that the Russian army may focus on attacking the local cities of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk.

  According to reports, the two cities have unusual backgrounds.

They are important industrial centers and important transportation hubs in the Baltic Sea.

To say that the key to the situation in Ukraine is the Battle of Donbass, then the key to the Battle of Donbass is these two places.

Now the Ukrainian army has deployed heavy defenses in the local area, and the war is imminent.

  Local officials in Luhansk believe that the future fighting in the city of Kramatorsk "will be a turning point in the conflict in the Donbass and the end of the entire military operation of the Kyiv government and the Donbass."

["Ukraine will not give up anything"]

  At a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Albanese, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged that the situation in Donbas is "the most difficult".

  However, he said, "Ukraine will not give up anything".

Zelensky used three adjectives to describe Ukraine's resolute attitude against Russia.

He hopes that the Ukrainian army will destroy the potential of the Russian army "day after day, planned and powerfully".

On June 5, Ukrainian President Zelensky listened to a military report on the front line.

  He also revealed that the Ukrainian army is advancing in the Kharkiv region, the Kherson region and the sea.

He believes that the withdrawal of the Russian army from Snake Island was the result of the successful drive away by the Ukrainian army.

  Boosting morale at home and asking for help again abroad is Zelensky's inevitable choice.

He emphasized that weapons such as the "HIMARS" high mobility multiple rocket launcher system received from Western countries "played an important role" in the confrontation with the Russian army.

  Will the "Haimas" system be Zelensky's "savior"?

In the face of a series of rocket artillery systems such as the "tornado", "hurricane" and "hail" of the Russian army, Zelensky once again issued an appeal.

He believes that as long as the West accelerates the supply of necessary weapons and ensures the firepower advantage of the Ukrainian armed forces, the situation can be changed.

[Russian victory is "inevitable"?

  However, the views of the Britons who like to downplay Putin the most are starting to change.

Dennett, the former British chief of general staff, recently pointed out that at present, "the Ukrainians do not have enough strength to expel the Russian army."

  He also said that Russian control of Donetsk and Luhansk was "almost inevitable".

Data map: On May 20, Ukrainian soldiers evacuated from the Azov Steel Plant got on a bus.

  What’s more interesting is that Dennett gave an inference that he believes that Russia’s special military operations may be suspended next, and “contextual negotiations” may be launched with the Ukrainian side.

  As for what Russia thinks?

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov has already given an answer.

  Western demand for advice to de-escalate the situation in Ukraine has diminished, he said, but "sooner or later common sense will prevail and negotiations will come."

"Before that, the Ukrainian side will have to understand all our conditions again." (End)
