10,000 Ukrainian troops are in a desperate situation, but why does Zelensky say that he will fight for another two or three years? What is Putin's new plan of "killing people and killing people"?

Recently, the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian front line has undergone tremendous changes. The Russian army suddenly exerted force in Donetsk Oblast and formed an encirclement of the Ukrainian army in Kupyansk and Krasnoarmesk.

According to Russian Chief of General Staff Gerasimov, the number of besieged Ukraine troops exceeds 10,000, and because Russian troops are focusing on attacking Ukraine's logistics supply lines, the Ukrainian troops in these two places are now in desperate straits with almost no possibility of breakthrough.

But in the face of such a disadvantage, Ukrainian President Zelensky once again boasted, saying he had stressed to Europe that Ukraine needed continued European financial support in order to continue fighting the Russian army for two or three years.

At the same time, in order to put pressure on Russia to facilitate negotiations, Zelensky is still seeking further support from Western weapons. In addition to hoping to obtain the US "Tomahawk" missile, Zelensky also hopes that Europe can also provide "similar weapons", that is, the missile system in the Russian capital, Moscow.

Faced with Zelensky's plan to resist to the end, Putin's reaction was somewhat unexpected. Instead of asking the Russian army to further strengthen its offensive, he planned to implement a short-term ceasefire.

On October 29, during a visit to the Mandrik Central Military Clinical Hospital in Moscow, Putin said he had discussed the issue with the commanders of the frontline and that the Russian military was willing to make a three to six-hour ceasefire so that media representatives, including foreign and Ukrainian journalists, could enter the circle, interview the surrounded Ukrainian soldiers so that they could witness the situation there and verify the status of the surrounded Ukrainian troops.

¡°I hope the Ukrainian leadership can make the appropriate decisions about the fate of its citizens and military personnel, as they will have the opportunity to do at the Accelerated Steel Plant.¡±

What Putin refers to here is the Russian army's offensive campaign against Azovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol in 2022. At that time, the Ukrainian army held out for 82 days without logistical supplies and even losing contact with the outside world. In the end, it had no choice but to surrender. Zelenskyy said at the time it was a "difficult decision" and stressed that "Ukraine needs these heroes alive."

It should be noted that the situation facing the Ukrainian army now may be worse than at the Azov Steel Plant, because the battle time of the Azov Steel Plant campaign is in the spring-summer season, but now it has entered the autumn-winter season, and the Ukrainian army will face more serious survival challenges.

What Putin is doing today is actually killing Ukraine. If foreign journalists enter the encirclement and widely report on the plight of the Ukrainian army, it will not only disrupt the resistance will of the local Ukrainian army, but also have an impact on the psychology of the Ukrainian army in other places.

In fact, while Zelensky said that he would fight for another two or three years, he also expressed "concern about the loss of population and economy caused by the war."

After the Russia-US presidential meeting was postponed, Russia obviously changed its strategy. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov explicitly rejected the ceasefire proposal and said that the European proposal was only to buy time to replenish Ukraine's weapons stockpiles. Therefore, the strategy pursued by Russia is now very obvious. Since Zelensky refuses to relinquish the four eastern provinces of Ukraine, Russia will use its strength to occupy these areas on the battlefield, force the Ukrainian army to retreat to the Dnieper River defense line, and eventually be forced to accept Russia's ceasefire conditions.
