On the occasion of Russia and Ukraine's conflict, a committee of the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the third stage of the Russian army in the third stage of the Ukraine's special military operations, including controlling Halkov, Nicholaev and Odessa. When the Russian side announced the new military target in early June, it was more than 10 days in the past 10 days since the entire Port Town of Wuxi Port.

With the surrender of Ukraine's military personnel in the Asian Steel Factory, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced on May 18 that it controlled Maliwol. The competition around this port city lasted for more than two months, and this campaign has also become a prelude to the Russian army's comprehensive operation in the Donbass region of the East Ukraine.

In the past few months, the Russian army launched large -scale military operations in the Donbass region. At present, about 98%of Lugusk is controlled. The central and northern parts of the central region launched a fierce battle.

The Ukrainian government has linked to the battle between Mali Ubol to the Russian and Ukraine talks and draws it as a "red line", and the city's loss is undoubtedly a major setback of the Ukraine. The ending of Mary Upol will have an important impact on the ongoing Donbass war.

More importantly, after winning Mali Ubol, the Russian army will open the last card point to the Crimean channel from here.

After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine war, the Russian army outlined this channel in the actions of southern Wuxi region: Meridopol, controlled on February 26, controlled Beljiang Sikh on February 28, and controlled on March 2nd. CMRK and Vasayika, both of which are located in the central and southern coastal areas in southern southern Ukrah in the southern part of Ukraine; the state is fully controlled on March 15. The only state connected by the region.

Controlling Mali Ubol means that through the two places of Lugusk and Donetsk, passing the above Asia Altar coast, it is connected to the Crimean region to change the land, thereby changing the previous Crimea only carved the Chican Strait one. The cross -sea bridge is connected to Russia.

Russia recently stated that after completing the military mission in Donbas, it will start to promote the third stage of action goals. Big strategic intention.

Located in the eastern Urkov, Halkov and Rougusk and Donetsk borders. They are also important industrial and agricultural centers. The state's capital Halkov is the second largest city in Ukraine. It is one of the main goals of the Russian offense.

However, the Russian army's advancement in the state was not fast, and it only controlled parts of the state. Moreover, unlike the two states of Lugusk and Donetsk, the Russians accounted for about 30 % of the local population, and the Ukraine people accounted for nearly half. Not long ago, Ukrainian President Zelei Sky appeared in the front line of the state. It was the first time he left the capital Kyiv since the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict.

Unlike Halkov, which is adjacent to Russia, both Nicholaev and Odessa are located in the south of Ukraine. They are on the verge of the Black Sea and do not borde directly with Russia. Two sections of coastline.

Nicholaev's capital Nicholaev also has many industrial enterprises, including shipbuilding and metallurgy. There are three large shipyards locally, including Ukraine and even Europe's largest shipyards, and two turbines research and development Institutions, in addition, food processing and agriculture are also relatively developed.

The east of Nicholaev is adjacent to the Russian side, which has been fully controlled by the Russian side, and is connected to the western region to Odessa. The capital Odessa is the fourth largest city in Ukraine and the largest port along the Black Sea. It is the main export port of Ukrainian industrial products and food.

In addition to having a relatively strong industrial foundation and agricultural foundation, Odessa is the former Soviet Union to join the Republic of Moldova. Since its independence, the country has always existed in the left bank of the Teriest River, which has announced its "independence" by itself, and therefore conflicts with the Moldova government in the early 1990s. Later, Russia involved and participated in peacekeeping, and the left bank of the Deyinster River held a referendum in 2006 to seek to join Russia.

Moldova's volume is incomparable to Ukraine, but from a political ecology, the two are similar. At the end of 2020, President Moldva, who was pro -Western, came to power and replaced the former President Dadong of the pro -Russian faction, while the latter was tried for suspected corruption last month. At the time, some comments pointed out that this could cause the relationship between Moldova's relations with Russia.

The country where President Moldva (left) was visited after taking office was Ukraine.

In fact, since the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, Moldova's nerves have been extremely tight, not only announced that the country has entered an emergency as soon as possible, but also quickly applied to join the EU with countries such as Georgia. However, Moldova seriously relied on Russian energy supply, especially natural gas. Last year, it was warned by Russia because of arrears.

Although Moldova is a small country in Eastern Europe, the value of geographical strategy is far worse than Ukraine, but due to the existence of the left bank of the Diestor River, this is a grasp of Russia's Moldova. Earlier, the area was lonely, which was not conducive to Russia's intervention.
