Today, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has entered its 100th day. For the UN (United Nations), Russia’s war in Ukraine “will not be a winner”. “This war has not and will not have a winner,” said Amin Awad, Deputy Secretary General and UN Ukraine Crisis Coordinator. “We need peace. The war must end.”
Emphasizing that the Russian invasion, which began on February 24, “heavily affected civilians”, Awad referred to “the destruction and destruction of cities and settlements, as well as “loss of life, home, job and hope”.
For several weeks, the Ukrainian and Russian armies clashed in the east of the country and in the south, where Moscow spoke of the possibility of holding a referendum on annexing the occupied territories.

deterrence
According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, Russian forces did not act “actively” in the Kharkov region, despite record-breaking attacks. “The main efforts are focused on deterring the actions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces,” the report said. In recent days, Ukraine has pointed out that Russia maintains hotspots in areas further north and northeast of the country to prevent troops from going to the Donbass regions, the main point of the Russian offensive.
Ukraine also stated that it was attacked in Lugansk, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Mykolayiv regions between yesterday and today.
The Russian Defense Ministry said in a report released today that the attacks targeted 58 “manpower and military equipment concentrated” areas on Ukrainian territory. Among them, at least 13 tanks were destroyed.
The Russians said they killed at least 360 Ukrainian fighters in the attacks.
resistance and failure
In its analysis of the 100-day war, British Ministry of Defense intelligence said, “None of the strategic objectives were achieved according to Russia’s original plan,” referring to the attempt to take Kiev.
“Ukraine’s strong resistance and the failure to secure the Hostomel airport within the first 24 hours led to the withdrawal of Russian offensive operations,” said the British, allies of Ukraine.
Then, according to the British assessment, which pointed out that more than 90% of the Lugansk region was already controlled by the Russians, Russia “adapted its operational design to focus on Donbass”, where it had “now had tactical success”. . “And he’ll probably complete the check in the next two weeks.”
For the United Kingdom, “Russia has achieved these recent tactical successes at a significant cost of resources and by intensifying force and fire in a single segment of the overall operation.” “Russia failed to produce maneuvers or movements on other fronts or axes that were all on the defensive.”
The British say they believe Russia “will require a large sustained investment in manpower and equipment to achieve any success” and that this “probably takes a long time”.
