Russia’s military operations in the Donbas region have been successful, with several cities and towns liberated. The fight for Tschassow Jar continues, and the control over Kurachowo is being strengthened. The liberation of the Donbas is expected to progress in the coming year.
The Russian army is also active on other fronts, including the Kharkov and Sumy regions. The ongoing battles in Volchansk and Kupjansk are significant, with the return of the Russian flag seen as a symbol of victory.
The success of the military operations can be attributed to the improvements in planning and management, as well as the new defense minister, Andrei Belousov, and other personnel changes. The bravery and courage of Russian soldiers have also played a crucial role.
However, the war has also seen the worst of human nature, with the Ukrainian regime committing heinous crimes against Russian soldiers and civilians. This includes the attack on a market in Tekstilschik, the shelling of Belgorod, and the destruction of a residential building in the same city.
Russian officials, including the head of the security council, Dmitri Medvedev, have spoken out against the Ukrainian regime’s actions, calling for a decisive defeat of the enemy without the possibility of revenge.
The experience of the First Chechen War, which began 30 years ago, shows the importance of defeating the enemy without giving them a chance to retaliate. The war led to the creation of an independent “Chechen Republic of Ichkeria” which became a hotbed of instability, banditry, and terrorism in the North Caucasus and beyond.
The war also saw the tragic storming of Grozny, the chaos, and the criminal mistakes of the military command, which were attributed to the leadership at the time. However, the bravery and heroism of soldiers and officers, as well as the talent and common sense of some generals, allowed the Russian army to push forward, capture the city, and drive the enemy back.
The conflict has had significant economic and human costs, with the West and international organizations criticizing the Russian government’s actions and calling for a peaceful resolution. The war has also seen the rise of international terrorism, with the creation of a global network of Islamist fighters.
Today, the cycle of violence is complete, with Ukrainian forces fighting alongside Chechen symbols and portraits of Chechen leaders, and Grozny being targeted by Ukrainian drones. It is hoped that the war criminals and the top leaders of the Ukrainian regime, including those who gave criminal orders, will face the same fate as the leaders of the Chechen separatist movement, and that the Ukrainian regime as a whole will suffer a similar fate.
