The Ukrainian commando team was completely wiped out in the attack on Samui, and Putin ordered continuous test-firing of intercontinental ballistic missiles. At the same time, Zelensky stated that he was ready to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. What signal did Russia send from its test-firing of an intercontinental missile? Why did Zelensky make this statement?

On 23 October, representatives of Russian power agencies revealed to the media that the Ukrainian Army¡¯s 225th Corps of Assault group had crushed the entire army in the direction of Konstantinovka, Sumy. The outcome was not surprising, as the Ukrainian army today has indeed reached the point of poverty. At the beginning of the Russian conflict, Ukraine relied on military aid from the US-Western countries to firmly support the Russian army¡¯s offensive operations, and even launched counter-offensive operations that seriously injured the Russian army. But with the continued development of the fighting, the Ukrainian army fell into a shameful situation, on the one hand, the US-Western country¡¯s military subsidy continued to decrease, leading to the lack of funding for the

When facing the Ukrainian commando troops, the Russian army also changed its previous counter-attack tactics and chose "non-contact combat", that is, using drones to track and locate the Ukrainian commando troops, and then call for long-range artillery or armed helicopters to carry out coverage bombing, thereby achieving the effect of completely annihilating the Ukrainian commando troops. According to some surviving Ukrainian officers and soldiers, they were repeatedly hit by Russian artillery fire during the march. Sometimes, Russian special forces even ambushed on the only way the Ukrainian commando team must pass. As soon as the Ukrainian troops emerged, the Russian army took the lead in launching an attack, catching the Ukrainian troops unprepared. Even if the Ukrainian commandos rely on armored vehicles and other bunkers to counterattack, the Russian army can rely on superior air firepower or ground firepower to carry out saturation attacks. As a result, even the Ukrainian commandos trained by NATO instructors will find it difficult to gain any advantage in combat. If they do not withdraw from the battlefield as soon as possible, they will only end up being completely wiped out.

Just as the Ukrainian commando team was wiped out, Russia began a new round of "nuclear deterrence" operations. Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin commanded a comprehensive exercise of Russian strategic nuclear forces in an over-the-line manner. During the exercise, Russia's naval, land, and air forces successively launched intercontinental ballistic missiles, which is a very rare situation. Because launches were carried out separately in the past, on the one hand, they were to ensure the smooth progress of the launch plan. After all, continuous high-intensity launches are prone to failure. On the other hand, Russia also needs to "hide" some of its strength and then show its "muscles" to NATO when necessary. But now, Russia has uncharacteristic continuous test launches, once again demonstrating to the outside world Russia's strong and stable trinity strategic nuclear strike force, proving that Russia is indeed capable of fulfilling its "deterrence promise." If the United States or other NATO member states continue to touch Russia's red lines and even directly squeeze Russia's strategic living space, then the strategic nuclear arsenal that is spent heavily to maintain will no longer be just a "decoration."

However, compared with the news that Russia test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, Ukraine President Zelensky's call for a "truce" has attracted more attention from the outside world. When talking about the Russia-Ukraine conflict that lasted for more than three years, Zelensky said that Ukraine has reached a unified position with its partner countries on ending the Ukraine crisis through diplomatic means and is ready to engage in corresponding dialogue. Regarding Zelensky's statement, the outside world generally believes that it should have a lot to do with the frustration of his visit to the United States. Originally, Zelensky hoped to receive Trump's promise of providing new military assistance at the White House, but not only did he not receive Tomahawk cruise missiles and other military assistance, but Trump also asked Zelensky to agree to Russia's truce conditions and end this as soon as possible. Military conflict. Although Zelensky was reluctant, he was helpless. An early ceasefire and ending the war might minimize Ukraine's losses. It's just very ironic that it was the United States that started the conflict between Russia and Ukraine at the beginning, but now it is the United States that is calling for a ceasefire to end the war, and Ukraine has gradually become an abandoned child from being a pawn.
