On July 17, the Ukrainian army announced that they had evacuated the village of Klinki on the south bank of the Dnieper River, at this time, a whole month had passed since the last bomb shelter on the positions of the Ukrainian army in Klinki was occupied by the Russian army!
In order to distract the media from the possible defeat of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield, for a full 9 months from October 2023 to June 2024, the command of the Ukrainian army drove thousands of Ukrainian army daredevils to fight in the Klinki area on the other side of the Dnieper River, in order to reflect the posture of the Ukrainian army actively attacking the area controlled by the Russian army.
A group of small-scale death squads, unable to carry out large-scale logistical replenishment, carried out the combat mission of crossing the Dnieper River more than a kilometer wide, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was no different from suicide.
This kind of practice of knowing that it cannot be done has caused huge casualties to the Ukrainian army, and most of the Ukrainian troops fighting in the Klinki direction have been left on the battlefield, which has greatly dampened the enthusiasm of the Ukrainian army in combat, and there was once a bloody scene of the Ukrainian army's counter-killing of the superintendent!
Ukraine'S MILITARY MEDIA DEEPSTATE BLAMED THIS BRUTAL MODE OF OPERATION ON YURI ·, THE FORMER COMMANDER OF THE UNITED FORCES OF THE UKRAINIAN ARMY, WHO HAD JUST BEEN REMOVED. But without the tacit consent of Zelensky, Syrsky and Zaluzhny, even if Yuri · Sodol had the audacity, he would never dare to let the Ukrainian soldiers continue to send them to death for 9 months.
At the very least, Zelens and Syrsky cannot shirk their due leadership responsibility!
The Ukrainian army's style of play without a winning strategy has also deeply disappointed many European countries, and in the absence of any hope of Ukraine's victory, Germany plans to halve the military aid budget for Ukraine from 2025!
Welcome to Hell! The special geographical conditions of Klinki village make it a dead place for both Russia and Ukraine
Klinki village is located on the south bank of the Dnieper River, at an altitude of 23 meters, and the Ukrainian army positions within 8 kilometers of the north bank of the Dnieper River opposite it are about 70 meters to 140 meters above sea level.
Therefore, after the Russian army withdrew from North Kherson to South Kherson, it did not deploy a large number of troops along the Dnieper River, but deployed it backwards, and then defended the entire river bank with drones, cruise missiles and artillery units to cover the Ukrainian army crossing the river with firepower.
Since the main defensive position of the Russian army is far from the river bank, after the Russian army withdrew south, the Ukrainian army repeatedly sent troops to cross the river to harass the Russian army, forcing the Russian army to deploy a certain number of troops in South Kherson to deal with a possible sneak attack by the Ukrainian army.
It is difficult for the Russian army to defend, and it is even more difficult for the Ukrainian army to attack!
Due to the fact that the Russian army is equipped with a large number of artillery and drones, it is already very difficult for the Ukrainian army to launch an offensive even on an open plain like Zaporozhye. To attack Klinki, or to supply the defenders of this village, the Ukrainian army must first cross the Dnieper River, which is one kilometer wide, then cross a wetland up to three kilometers wide, and finally reach Klingi, the whole process takes a lot of time, which provides enough time for the Russian army to cover fire. Under such geographical conditions, it is almost impossible for the Ukrainian army to launch a large-scale offensive on the south bank of the Dnieper River.
It turns out that from the very beginning, the command of the Ukrainian army had no plans to occupy South Kherson, and the rhetoric of the commander of the Ukrainian army to the Ukrainian soldiers who crossed the river were all lies!
In October 2023, the Ukrainian marines successfully captured the village of Klinki in a surprise attack, and then the Russian and Ukrainian armies fought fiercely over the village, Klinki has since turned into a meat grinder, and thousands of Ukrainian soldiers continue to pay for their precious lives for a propaganda project!
The exact number of losses of the Klinki army varies, and there may never be a truth.
In Ukraine, the casualty figures of the Ukrainian army are classified, and it is a very serious crime to disclose the real data on the losses of the Ukrainian army!
Ukraine's investigative intelligence magazine published a report on the operation of the Ukrainian army in the Klinki area, which was titled "Welcome to hell, here is Klinki".
According to the data provided in this report, between October 2023 and the end of June 2024, a total of 788 Ukrainian soldiers were missing, and the bodies of 262 Ukrainian soldiers were transferred to North Kherson, which means that a total of 1,050 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the village of Klinki or on the way to this village. Since it is a felony to publish the true casualty figures of the Ukrainian army, the number of Ukrainian army killed in this report will definitely not be true, and there is a high probability that there is a very serious underestimate.
If according to the daily war reports issued by the Ministry of Defense of Russia, the number of casualties of the Ukrainian army in the Kherson direction is around 30 people per day. From October 2023 to June 2024, the Ukrainian army fought in Klinki and its environs for more than 250 days, then the total casualties of the Ukrainian army in this direction should be 7,500. Considering that the Russian army may also make false reports, or cannot realistically count very accurate data, plus some of the wounded of the Ukrainian army may be successfully transferred to the rear, the 5,000 Ukrainian troops killed in the Klinki area should be a very close to the truth.
The governor of Russia's Kherson region, Saldo, told the Russia Satellite news agency that referring to the fighting in other sections of the river on the south bank of Kherson, the Ukrainian army lost at least 4,000-5,000 people in the military adventure in the village of Klinki, and the exact number of enemy killed is difficult to count, because hundreds or even thousands of people sank to the bottom of the Dnieper.
Judging by the intensity of the fighting in the village of Klinki and its vicinity, Saldo's estimate of the number of Ukrainian troops killed should be relatively accurate.
In order to express the Ukrainian army's ambition for South Kherson and Crimea, or to attract the attention of the international media, the Ukrainian army can easily send 5,000 lives in a show with no chance of winning, how can such a Ukrainian army be invincible!
Since there is no hope of victory for the Ukrainian army, the Germany government's budget for 2025 will halve the budget for military aid to Ukraine
Due to long-term insufficient investment, the German army's weapons stocks have no reserves, and Germany's military aid to Ukraine has led to an even greater shortage of German equipment, and in the increasingly tense geopolitical situation, Germany must of course take care of its own army construction first. According to Reuters, according to the first-hand information they obtained, the Germany government is ready to cut military aid to Ukraine by half in the 2025 budget, from 8 billion euros in 2024 to only 4 billion euros.
The governments of all European countries are shouting resolutely for Ukraine's victory over Russia, but there is a lot of moisture in the actual strength of support, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ukrainian army cannot reverse the situation on the battlefield at all, and all military aid to Ukraine will become useless!
Belgium is one of the countries that have promised to provide F16 fighters to the Ukrainian army, and Ukraine has always hoped that they will hand over the fighters to the Ukrainian army as soon as possible, but the latest statement of the Belgium government is that it can only guarantee the supply of F16 fighters to Ukraine by 2028.
Handover of fighters in 2028? At that time, the existence of the current Ukraine government is still a question!
The Ukraine side shouted that it was unacceptable, but it could only accept its fate, because Ukraine simply did not have the means to force Belgium to hand over the fighters as soon as possible.
The most fatal blow to Ukraine still comes from United States, Trump's assassination, not only did not put him to death, but made Trump, who opposes military aid to Ukraine, more likely to win, and Biden, who supports Ukraine to continue fighting, is almost out.
In the case that the sharp reduction of foreign aid is a foregone conclusion, as a Ukrainian army that completely relies on foreign aid for survival, it seems that it does not matter to them how long they can hold on the battlefield!
