Ukraine wins the second stage of the war after Russia attacked it. A sudden massive attack by eight Russian armies from three sides of Ukraine with a total front length of 2,450 kilometers ended in a shameful flight of Russians from the central and northern parts of Ukraine.
The second stage of the war began with the offensive of the Russians already from the east and south of Ukraine. Using the tactics of the fire shaft, when the invaders began to seize not the settlements of Ukraine, but square kilometers of scorched earth, they advanced a little, but now the Russian troops have been stopped by the Armed Forces of Ukraine with heavy losses. Moreover, the Russians simply have nothing to attack with, and practically along the entire front they are switching to a continuous defense of the occupied territories. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively advancing, especially in the Kherson region, where the Russians found themselves in the first major encirclement. About 2,000 Russian special forces, paratroopers were surrounded on three sides, and the fourth is heavily shot through from two sides by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, a large group of Russians in southern Ukraine is cut off from the supply of heavy military equipment due to the fact that all bridges across the Dnieper River, which remained behind the Russians, are damaged and are under fire from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. If in the next 10 days the occupiers do not flee from the occupied southern territories of Ukraine on light vehicles or by swimming across the Dnieper, they will be defeated.
There is a very interesting turning point in the course of this war. It is no coincidence that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov increasingly began to complain that Ukraine does not want to sit down at the negotiating table.
