Russian forces have broken through north of the Red Army City, and the political impact has already emerged! The UK's Daily Telegraph reported that Ukraine rejected President Trump's proposal to cede territory, but agreed to "freeze the current frontline," which is a very rare shift, equivalent to implicitly acknowledging Russia's de facto control over the currently occupied areas of the four provinces of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson, as well as its control over Crimea. Obviously, the fundamental reason is Ukraine's unfavorable military situation.
Meanwhile, ABC News reported that NATO Secretary General Rutte stated that although NATO does not recognize Russia's sovereignty over the occupied areas, it is prepared to acknowledge Russia's de facto control. This is also a major shift in position. Obviously, the NATO alliance, especially countries such as the UK, France, and Germany with left-center governments in power, do not have the strength to support Ukraine alone. The breakthrough by Russian forces has already caused a crisis politically and in public opinion for the West and Ukraine.
