Russian media a ceasefire on the ground, all kinds of news were filled, and there were even reports that Russian contract soldiers on the front line had begun to return home.
These are, of course, false news, and all those familiar with the Russian Ukrainian military know that the Russian army suddenly ceased fire at the beginning of the siege of Konstantinovsk when Kupiyansk and the Red Army City entered the stage of reception.
These are obviously rumors released by pro-Western media or people sympathetic to Ukraine in an attempt to shake the morale of the Russian military.
On October 21, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reiterated Russia's reluctance to agree to an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine unless Ukraine completely submits.
Lavrov’s statement is a continuation of the Kremlin’s attempt to send a signal to U.S. President Donald Trump that Trump’s demands for an immediate end to the war are incompatible with Russia’s war goals.
In turn, Ukraine and its European allies have expressed support for U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal for an immediate ceasefire.
In the Red Army city, after the Russian army captured the railway station, it began to march to the north of the city. The Ukrainian army also launched a partial counteroffensive aimed at preventing the Russian army from consolidating its positions.
However, the Russian army has gained a foothold in many directions in the north of the city, and the gray area has spread to some neighborhoods in the north of the city.
Why is the Red Army City important?
In the picture below, the yellow line represents a vast network of military warheads, which is part of Ukraine’s main defense network.
As you can see, once the Russian troops crossed the network of battlefields, there was a void behind it!Therefore, once the Ukrainian troops withdrew from the Red Army City on a massive scale, the whole region would become a death trap.
At the same time, once the Red Army lost the city, the Russians could choose to attack Pavloger to the west, which was the last major obstacle to reaching the Dnipro.
Or advance eastward and sweep Konstantinovka, then Slavyansk, taking Kramatorsk as the main battlefield of Donbas on the Eastern Front.
After the Russian army slowly shrinks the encirclement around the Red Army City, Kramatorsk and Slavyansk will form a larger encirclement after the largest encirclement of the Red Army City since the beginning of the war!
The Red Army City is a key fortress in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Through it, the Russian army not only opened the road to the Dnieper River, but also further south to Zaporozhye and Kherson, thus pointing straight to Odessa!
Once this situation has been established, the French troops wandering along the Romanian border must decide whether to go directly into the war.
So, ignore those rumors and Western propaganda. This is because Ukraine and the West urgently need a ceasefire, and the situation of Ukraine and the West is precarious.
