Zelensky again visited the White House and eventually left with regret.Zelensky said in an interview with the media that the U.S. side will temporarily not provide Ukraine with long-range long-range missiles that can hit Russia in order to avoid the escalation of the war.
At the same time, 2.5 hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Trump spoke Mandarin, the United States and Russia announced that the two heads of state would meet again in Budapest, Hungary. The specific time has not yet been officially announced.
However, judging from the current offensive of the Russian army, it is to expand the results before the heads of state of the United States and Russia hold talks again, so as to put pressure on the Trump administration and put Russia in a more favorable position.
Russian media that as of the evening of October 18, the Russian troops continued to expand the battle in the direction of the Red Army City, further advancing in the western region of the Red Army City.
On the Dimitrov front, the Russian army consolidated the Dobropoliye prominence and repelled several rounds of Ukrainian offensives. At present, what is very beneficial to the Russian army is that after the Russian army has completely controlled the village of Skye in Moscow, it can implement division and encirclement tactics against the Dimitrovv army.
The Ukrainian army in Dimitrov was forced to disperse to the central mining area and the No. 5 and No. 6 mine areas to fight. The Ukrainian army's defense line was constantly compressed, while the Russian army had dual advantages in strength and firepower. Judging from the Russian tactics, it will take the lead in capturing the No. 5 and No. 6 mine areas, and then the Russian army will be able to tear a hole in the northern defense line of the Red Army City.
By then, the Russian troops in the western and northern directions of the Red Army city can unite and concentrate their firepower to launch an attack on the center of the Red Army city.
Although the main force of the Russian army has made a huge breakthrough in the western region of the Red Army City, but has not fully controlled the situation, can not use this as a support point to attack the central area of the Red Army City.
However, it is worth noting that although the Russian forces temporarily did not have complete control of the western area of the Red Army City, the Ukrainian guard has not gone anywhere, and under the violent gunfire of the Russian forces, this has become a "grey zone".
According to reports, the Russian army dispatched 2S7M "Marka" 203-mm heavy artillery to continuously attack Ukrainian positions in the western area of Red Army City. The Ukrainian army on the front line said in despair that Russian artillery attacks day and night, causing huge casualties to the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian war has entered the phase of the consumption war, not to look at the Russian army captured only about 5,000 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory in 2025, in fact, the Russian army is the focus of the consumption of Ukrainian operational forces, and the implementation of the strike on Ukraine's inherently high-value targets.
160,000 Russian troops siege the Red Army City, the Russian troops take the Red Army City is only a matter of time and time.Now, the Russian troops have turned the western region of the Red Army City into a "grey zone", which is to let the Ukrainian troops around the Red Army City continuously enter the scope of the Russian army firepower, and then implement the consumption of the Ukrainian army.
Today's Red Army City is described as an isolated city, the Russian army through the previous period of the foundation, has interrupted the Red Army City Ukrainian army supply line, the Red Army City Ukrainian army is not logistically supplied, nor can it meet reinforcement, at this moment the despair has reached its peak.
Just as the Ukrainian army in the west and north of Red Army City was being contained, the Russian army took the opportunity to make a huge breakthrough in the south of Red Army City. The Russian advance troops entered the center of the Red Army city and began to infiltrate the Red Army city in the form of small-scale commandos to cause damage in the core of the Ukrainian army.
During the local street fighting in the Red Army City, the Ukrainian army immediately raised the white flag and surrendered after seeing the Russian assault team hitting in front of them.
Although the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army Sersky issued a dead order to the Ukrainian Army in the Red Army City, they would defend the Red Army City at all costs. However, after the Red Army, the Ukrainian army could not wait for reinforcements and ammunition supplies, their mentality would soon collapse. Once the Ukrainian army in the Red Army City suffers a large-scale decline in fighting will, it will not be far from the collapse of the entire Red Army City defense line.
Ukraine is really afraid of what will happen, and after the end of the meeting of President Zelensky with Trump, the U.S. side refused to supply tactical missiles to Ukraine.
To be honest, if the ceasefire on the current front line is followed, Ukraine's losses will be very large. Zelensky said that the territorial issue is very sensitive, which means that he does not agree with Trump's suggestion.
Russia is different, as long as the Russian army can continue to expand the occupation area before the US-Russian heads meet again, a ceasefire on the front would be very beneficial to Russia.
