As the Russian and Ukraine War fell into a protracted war, Joint Morning Post reporters visited many cities in Ukraine to explore the current situation of the Russian and Ukraine war with text and videos, and learn about the life of the Ukraine in the war from the first scene.Discover the mystery of the Ukrainian war. There are six notes. The first two are open reading, and the last four are exclusive to the reservation.
On November 25, 2023, from Warsaw, Poland took a night train to Ukraine, around 2:30 in the morning, I was awakened by mobile phone anti -air alarms in the dark car.
It turned out that Russia launched 75 drone offensives to Kiev, Ukraine.In the past few years, Russia has used drone offensives more frequently. On December 29, 155 weapons such as missiles and drones were launched at the same time, and the largest air strikes for the outbreak of war have been launched.
In the previous month, I and other six countries in Asia and I at the invitation of Ukraine's non -governmental organization "Public Interest Journalism Lab" (Pijl) invited to Ukraine for interviews.Alert taste.
The train is about 11 hours. In addition, border guards in Poland and Ukraine have been inspected once each, and paused for more than two hours. After 13 hours of journey, they finally arrived at Kiev at around 1 pm.Pedestrians in the streets hurried, everything seemed as usual.It wasn't until the hotel counter staff asked me to sign and proved that after reading the instructions to avoid air strikes, I remembered that the country was experiencing war.
The Russian War was a large -scale war in the world's first era of information in the 21st century.The two sides are not only military contests, but also the entire confrontation of science and technology, cognition, psychology, diplomacy, and espionage warfare.Looking at Europe in Asia, the war of Russia and Ukraine is like a mystery. It is neither losing or losing nor the end. I saw that international fatigue is getting stronger and stronger.
I came to Kiev with a few questions.Russia, how to support the front line of Ukraine?Is it possible for Russia to negotiate to stop fire?Has it been in the secret negotiations?Does the Ukrainian people agree to fight?How can Ukrainian corruption affect frontline combat power?What is the life of the Ukraine?
In the nine -day itinerary, some questions were answered.We went to six places including Kiev, Ilping, Bucha, Odeza, Hermone, Nicholaev, and other places.Chefs, journalists, and survivors of the war.
Wuqian Defense: FPV drone is the key weapon of the Ukraine of Ukraine
The interview with Andrii Zahorodniuk, the former Minister of Defense, Ukraine, made people open.He explained to reporters the reason why the Urpical Army was invincible in the asymmetric war, and the key to even the upper hand in the early stage was this weapon: "First Person View Drones"Human -machine).However, because the Russian army learned quickly, he also caught up with the use of drones, and the war gradually fell into stagnation.
Zahrtuke described the FPV drone as "a bomb with eyes and wings."He said: "At first public opinion was still arguing that the UAV was not a weapon. Drone is the weapon that changed the rules of the game. It not only drove the military technical revolution, but also made the war of Russia and Ukraine a" war that changes the nature of war '."
The key question is: Who can lead Russia in the drone technology competition?Zaway New Year's optimistic judgments that Ukraine's open model of UAVs from the bottom and hundreds of people to create drones is more creative and effective than Russia's leading and funding model that the government leads and funded by the government.He said that Russia's main partner is Iran, and China does not support Russia fully; Ukraine's partners are the United States and the European Union with stronger technology, "we should win".
Zhwchneques believes that Ukraine's main strategic errors are that they cannot achieve consensus with the Western camp on the definition of "victory" so far.He said that the Western camp wants to "not let Ukraine loses and not let Russia win", but this is only a mid -term target rather than strategy. Some countries have proposed to negotiate with Russia to end the war at all.
"The definition of victory is not to say that the Kremlin is directly pounded. You can see the Persian Gulf War in the 1990s. Americans drove the Iraqi out of Kuwait. They did not reach Baghdad or overthrew Saddam.But the Americans said, "We won, because Kuwait is free '. So we must have at least a plan. Of course, if we cannot liberate Ukraine, we will definitely not win this war."
Ukraine launched a summer counterattack in the East and South Russian occupation areas in June 2023, but the results were not great.Polish.
The longer the war is dragged, the more it is not good for Ukraine, which has fewer soldiers.As the winter comes, the outside world judges that the war will stagnate, and the social media also reports the news of the martial arts of the Ukraine.
Denys Kobzin, the former director of the Halkov Institute of Social Research Institute, admits: "If the morale of the army is the same (high) in the early days of the war, it is not right." But he emphasized that the morale of the Ukraine is still sufficient, "Because we have no retreat, no matter how difficult it is, we must keep the territory. "
Kobin joined the Ukrainian Land Defense Force after the outbreak of the war. He once went to the front line to fight. He is currently responsible for analyzing the war in the General Staff.He said that the current situation of the war is the same as the First World War, and the soldiersFor a long time, he was trapped in the same position, and his morale was created."This is very difficult for the soldiers' psychology. You can't see the change. You can only see your comrades who die, and you can't go anywhere."
Russia does not announce its latest death numbers.The number of Russian troops given by the United States and Britain in December 2023 ranging from 315,000 to 320,000.The Russian Ministry of Defense said in December 2023 that the number of Urban deaths and injuries was 383,000.
Kobin said that the two keys to boost the morale of the Ukrainian army are to increase the source of troops and weapons.The former relies on Western support, and the latter relies on the age of recruitment.The military demanded another 500,000 troops, but Ukraine President Zellezki did not shoot.
Ukraine faces the psychological attack and defense threat of the enemy's authenticity and false information
In addition to insufficient sources of troops, Ukraine also faces the threat of the enemy's defense line with semi -information mixing information.Ukraine Culture and Information Policy's Strategic Communication and Information Security Center founder Liubov Tsybulska said that some people posing for the Ukraine to post videos in TIKTOK, providing young men with prefers to recruit soldiers.The video was forcibly recruited on the street."These things did happen, but Russia deliberately enlarged it to fight the work of Ukraine."
Ziblska also said that the most difficult monitoring of a closed social media platform is the number one fake news platform is Telegram.She pointed out that Russia issued a large number of narratives that damage the image of Ukraine in order to weaken the West's support for Ukraine and intensify the division of Ukrainian society.
"Someone forcibly pulled the netizens into the social media group, and then seriously exaggerated the problem of Ukrainian corruption, spreading the troops such as the enemy in the front line soldiers in Kiev Moscow ', and even used the beauty to use the beauty to use the beauty to disclose the trenches and the weapon information of the weapon."
After Russia invaded Ukraine, many countries in the world imposed sanctions against Russia.Regarding the effect of sanctions, Oleksandr Kornienko, the first deputy chief of the Ukrainian parliament, told a black joke to the reporter's group, telling how Russia and their partners can easily avoid part of sanctions.
"Those vessels parked in the Gonghai near Cyprus and the Gonghai near Greece, mixed 50%of Russian gasoline with 50%of non -Russian gasoline, and then said that this is not Russian gasoline. These gasoline is sold to Europe, and we will from Europe again.Buying gasoline for the army. Therefore, some gasoline of our army may use Russian gasoline. This is not funny, this is tragedy. "
The reporters still laughed.The war is so absurd and so magical.In the same country, the front line is fighting and living as usual.Perhaps, it is also a long -term resistance to coexisting with war.
In the first night of staying in the Kiev Hotel, Russia's drone was coming again.The air strike alarm sounded, and I was so tired that I did not run the air defense and avoided it. The next morning I went to the air defense 壕 to go to the underground parking lot of the hotel.
I was stunned, and I saw a man's handwashing of the brush supplies. He shrugged and walked into the toilet through his face, as if he left a sentence through the limb language: Don't make a fuss, just like this.
