Release time:Apr 15, 2024 14:25 PM

According to Reuters, on August 24th local time, the Intelligence Agency of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense stated that the Ukrainian Navy and military intelligence agencies conducted a special operation overnight, during which Ukrainian military forces landed on the Crimean Peninsula under Russian control.

August 24th coincides with Ukraine Independence Day. As of now, the Russian side has not responded to this incident.

The Ukrainian army landed on the Crimean Peninsula overnight

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Intelligence Agency issued a statement stating that on the early morning of August 24th, Ukrainian troops landed at the western end of the Crimean Peninsula, near the settlements of Olenivka and Mayak.

Military observer Teng Jianqun analyzed that the scale of the Ukrainian military's special operation may not be large. Ukraine chose to release this news on Independence Day mainly to boost morale.

Teng Jianqun:

After 2014, Crimea was under Russian control, which was a major concern for Ukraine. This landing operation should be held to coincide with Ukraine's Independence Day.

In terms of scale, the Ukrainian army may have only a few or a dozen small-scale troops who climbed onto Crimea and raised the Ukrainian flag. This action cannot change Russia's existing control over Crimea, but it is highly symbolic - demonstrating Ukraine's ability to extend the war to areas under Russian control.

Crimea will face more attacks?

Recently, Ukraine has increased its attack intensity on the Crimean Peninsula. In addition to sending troops to land, the Ukrainian military has also announced the destruction of a Russian S-400 Triumphal air defense system deployed on the Crimean Peninsula.

On August 24th, the Director of the Intelligence Agency of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense publicly stated that Crimea will face more attacks in the future.

In Teng Jianqun's view, Ukraine's frequent infiltration and attacks on the Crimean Peninsula have indeed caused headaches for the Russian military, but it is currently difficult for Ukraine to cause a major storm in Crimea.

Teng Jianqun:

Ukraine's counterattack has always been in the southern region of Ukraine, attempting to break through the Russian defense line in the direction of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, directly targeting Crimea.

In this context, Ukraine has frequently launched attacks on the Crimean region, and this time it is boldly attempting to send soldiers to land in Crimea. The current situation in Crimea is complex and poses a great challenge for the Russian military.

Ukraine is currently at a very critical juncture, with European and American countries experiencing fatigue in aid to Ukraine. Ukraine's financial, material, and military resources are about to be depleted. Therefore, the Zelensky government has shown a strong stance, with the aim of encouraging European and American countries to provide more assistance.

How effective is the harassment operation?

According to a report by Russian news agency on August 23, explosions were heard in the Moscow city area, and thick smoke emerged from the scene

Since Ukraine launched a counterattack in June this year, there have been few achievements on the front battlefield. On the contrary, some raids against Russian controlled areas have been successful, including the landing on the Crimean Peninsula and drone attacks on Moscow.

On the day before Ukraine's Independence Day, in the early morning of August 23rd, the Ukrainian military attempted to attack Moscow with three drones, but was thwarted by Russian air defense forces.

When evaluating the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian related attack operations, Teng Jianqun believes that it is difficult to change the overall situation of the current Russian Ukrainian battlefield.

Teng Jianqun:

Ukraine finds it difficult to break through the first line of defense of the Russian army in the direction of its main attack in Zaporizhzhia.

Ukraine hopes to avoid some weaknesses and leverage its advantages in drone production and use to strike important targets in Russia's domestic and Russian controlled areas.

However, it is difficult for the Ukrainian army to change the battlefield situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict by harassing.

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
