All the Ukrainian elite troops have flooded into Hellson, and a big counterattack is imperative. Will the Russian army be scared away?

Russian troops will not be scared away, but they are ready to retreat, but now they will continue to hold on.

First, politically, the Russian army needs to stick to it. Since the referendum of four districts in eastern Ukraine was incorporated into Russia, politically speaking, Russia has been successfully completed. But also inevitably have to bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the city. For example, Ukraine's counter-offensive in Hellson now means that Ukraine concentrates its superior forces and uses its geographical and military advantages to counter-attack the 20,000 Russian troops trapped in Hellson, regain its territory and destroy the effective forces of the Russian army. For political reasons, we can't lose the territory that has just been announced to be merged. This will affect our international reputation, affect our domestic situation, and shake people's hearts and minds. So, we must stick to it until the last moment.

Second, the army needs to retreat. Now the two sides are facing each other, but in the situation, the Russian army is at a great disadvantage, being attacked on three sides and facing water on the other. Materials and supplies need to be supported by ferries and broken bridges on the Dnieper River. Now it has gradually entered winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder. However, the lack of logistics materials, such as warm military uniforms and military sleeping bags, will greatly affect the Russian military's operations, because the weather has played a huge role in Russia's foreign operations in history. However, the mobilized support troops can not be put into battle at present, while the Ukrainian army trained in the west continues to be put into battle, with a strength ratio of at least 3: 1, and the Ukrainian army has a partial overwhelming advantage. At present, the Ukrainian army is tentatively advancing to the Russian army with the cooperation of various forces such as mountain troops, tank troops and infantry troops. Although the Ukrainian army suffered heavy casualties, it gradually found out the military deployment of the Russian army and there were more and more signs of launching a large-scale attack. Moreover, the defense space of the Russian army has become smaller and smaller, and it can no longer do elastic defense, only static defense, and can only passively fight the Ukrainian army head-on, which is very unfavorable to the Russian army. If anything happens, it will be covered by the Ukrainian army, and 20,000 Russian troops are in danger.

Third, make hard choices and be prepared to retreat, but don't give up easily. According to past experience, the Russian government has evacuated civilians and non-military personnel from Hellson to Hellson. This will not only reduce the logistical burden, but also make full preparations for the retreat. Russian troops pointed out to General Sulovikin, commander-in-chief of Ukraine's special military operations, that the Ukrainian army was in a state of "extreme use" of troops and equipment in the direction of Hellson, which meant that Hellson was bound to face a war. At the same time, General Sulovikin pointed out in particular that "the most difficult decision" will not be ruled out in the direction of Hellson. Since serving as commander-in-chief, General Sulovikin has dared to face the reality and tell the truth. As can be seen from his statement, he has reported the current war situation to the domestic high-level, and truthfully analyzed the military situation, striving for high-level approval, and made a difficult choice to retreat across the river at a critical moment and preserve the effective strength of the Russian army.

In a word, the Ukrainian "Hellson counterattack" estimated that the two sides would inevitably have the worst World War I here, and the Russian army would try its best to give it a try. However, when the situation is critical, the pragmatic general Sulovikin should retreat, taking the preservation of effective strength as the first priority. Avoid the consequences of the total annihilation of the Russian army.
