New Delhi: Ukraine is gasping in the war that has been going on for more than two and a half years now. It seems like. Two fears are standing together in front of him. On one hand its army is retreating on the battlefield and on the other hand it is becoming victim of cyber attacks. It has lost 40 percent of the ground gained in the highly strategic Manta-Kursk offensive due to Russian counter-attacks.
Not only this, this conflict is not limited only to the front line on the battlefield, it is also a victim of Russian cyber attacks. These cyber attacks are also disrupting the infrastructure of NATO countries. Therefore, if there are obstacles in aid to Ukraine, the basic question that arises is how much will Ukraine be able to save now? Is the balance of power deteriorating due to Russia’s alleged attack? Analysts are also asking the same question.
A few days ago, Ukraine had captured the Kursk region of Russia. But as Russia counterattacked, Ukraine on the other hand became weak. A few days ago, Ukraine attacked the 1,376 square km Kursk area under Russian control. The land was captured but Russia retaliated and now it has only 800 square km in its hands. The land has been destroyed, meaning it has lost 40 percent of its area.
The reason for this defeat is that 60,000 Russian troops, together with 11,000 North Korean troops, launched a major attack and the Ukrainian troops had to retreat.
Russia’s aim behind this major attack is to regain the lost land and create a buffer zone and that too before there is political change in America.
Now military pressure in the eastern part of Ukraine is continuously increasing, with “air-strikes” and “missile-strikes” increasing. These attacks are targeting a city in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Zelensky is requesting the West to provide immediate air cover. In this, cyber attacks are starting on Russia’s NATO countries. So the basic question arises that how long will Ukraine be able to survive in this situation?
