There are dangerous proceedings that will result in taking an irresponsible and catastrophic major war decision, which will necessarily lead to ominous repercussions on the current Russian state and its tyrannical policies against the neighbors and beyond. Apparently, it relied on an unrealistic assessment and situational awareness of the tactical and strategic circumstances.
The great disaster faced by the Russian planners didn’t take the human factor into account. Obviously, the Ukrainian people turned out to be a real nightmare, when the masses of the Ukrainian people in areas stormed by the Russian troops stood courageously in the face of Russian tanks and armored vehicles, waving the Ukrainian flags, and preventing military vehicles from moving. Not to mention the Ukrainian civilians who took up arms to resist the invasion of their homeland.
Neglecting and evading realities lead to underestimating the obstacles and difficulties that will be encountered. Not to mention the Ukrainian civilians who took up arms to resist the unprecedented invasion that their homeland is subjected to. Despite the military attack that depended on huge military formations and crowds of troops.
The method of adhering to strategic penetration with massed troops, by utilizing speed and decisiveness as soon as possible didn’t give fruitful achievements. Although, following multi-directional paths to reach relatively remote areas and encircle major cities and unconventional places, including nuclear power plants and facilities, such as the Chernobyl plant, the military operations outcome turned out to be relatively ineffective.
Knowing that the operations were assisted by supporting forces utilizing long range heavy artillery and missile attacks, in addition to airborne paratroopers and air force ground attacks. Relying on the size of the Russian army, which is estimated to be ten times the Ukrainian armed forces didn’t attain the expected and presumed objectives as such.
The Captive Nations of the Caucasus
A Circassian public figure has tweeted on March 22, 2022, during the Russian invasion to Ukraine: CNN has “reported that there is a Muslim brigade fighting for Ukraine.” He added: “These brave men are from the captive nations in the Caucasus,” and he prayed to God to protect them. That shows how those who have suffered from the fire of war, destruction, subjugation, extermination and displacement feel on what the Ukrainian people are exposed to at this time as a result of the brutal Russian invasion of their country.
Conclusion
To conclude, this should be a catalyst for the concerted efforts of all peace loving nations to rise up and stand in the face of the Russian military advance and to demand the restoration of the legitimate rights of many peoples who are still brooding under the weight of forced acquisition and compulsory dependency.
