Russia taking heavy losses as it wages new offensive in Ukraine_我的网站

A |     KYIV, Ukraine -- Russia appears to be suffering severe losses as it wages its new offensive in eastern Ukraine, amid some of the bloodiest fighting in months, according to Ukrainian officials and independent analysts.Russia has thrown thousands of troops and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles into the offensive, which is focused mainly on the strategic city of Avdiivka and further north near the city of Kupiansk. Russian forces for roughly two weeks have been trying to encircle Avdiivka, which is one of the most heavily fortified areas of Ukraine's frontline.Ukrainian officials on Sunday claimed Russia had lost over 6,000 soldiers in a week, as well as over 400 armored vehicles and tanks. Britain's defense intelligence claimed Russian casualties have spiked by 90% since it began the offensive.ABC cannot independently verify those numbers, but numerous videos of the Russian attacks around Avdiivka released by Ukrainian units suggest Russia is taking losses on a scale not since last winter.Some of the videos show columns of Russian armor coming under withering Ukrainian fire as they try to advance, pummelled by artillery and anti-tank missiles, and running into minefields. In other videos, Russian forces can be seen being barraged by U.S.-supplied cluster munitions. Large groups of Russian infantry can be seen being struck by artillery.Open source analysts watching the videos have counted dozens of Russian vehicles destroyed and damaged.Ukraine does not publish its own casualties, but Ukrainian officials have acknowledged they are also large.So far Russian forces have made little progress, only advancing a few hundred meters, near Avdiivka, according to both Ukrainian and Russian accounts.But despite the losses, Russia is continuing its efforts to encircle Avdiivka. The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for the Study of War on Sunday assessed Russia was moving more troops up to continue the attack."Russian forces are funneling additional forces to the Avdiivka front despite ongoing challenges with frontal mechanized assaults and the failure of a renewed push on October 19-20," the ISW wrote in its daily update on the war.Ukrainian officials have said they believe the determined Russian effort to seize Avdiivka is motivated by the Kremlin's desire to claim a significant victory ahead of Russia's presidential elections next year."It appears that Russian forces are continuing to use ineffective and costly tactics in offensive efforts near Avdiivka leading to high personnel and vehicle losses, and that they have continuously done so in several waves of attacks over the past week suggests that the Russian military command is prioritizing this axis, despite continued and growing losses," the ISW wrote in an earlier assessment on Saturday.Some Russian pro-war military bloggers have criticised how the operation has been handled and the decision to attack the most heavily fortified area of Ukraine's line, given the small progress so far.Analysts, however, have warned that despite the catastrophic losses, Russia may still be able to encircle Avdiivka and that it still has sizeable reserves in the area.Vitaliy Barabash, the head of Avdiivka's Ukrainian military administration, on Monday said Russian forces were attempting to cut the only road leading to the city, which would isolate the Ukrainian forces defending it."Logistics are very difficult. Twenty two kilometers to the city are constantly under fire, both during the day and at night. It greatly complicates both evacuation and bringing in humanitarian aid. Any logistics is all through one road. Of course, the enemy is trying to cut it," Barabash said in a live interview with RFE/RL.He also said that 1,601 civilians still in Avdiivka did not want to leave.Ukraine is also still on the offensive. In the past week, an unusually large force from two elite Ukrainian Marine brigades landed on the Russian-occupied eastern bank of the Dneipr river in the Kherson region. The Ukrainian units have advanced into at least two villages there and are digging in, according to Russian military bloggers.The scale of the operation is still very unclear, but it appears Ukraine may be attempting to establish a bridgehead there that if successful could create a possibility for it to move larger forces across for a bigger attack, potentially opening a new front in its counteroffensive. For now, most analysts assess the size of the Ukrainian force operating on the eastern bank is still small.Ukrainian forces are also continuing to attack on the main axis of the counteroffensive in the southern Zaporizhzhia region and around the city of Bakhmut, reportedly making small advances.。    北京时间 8 月 26 日，据《华尔街日报》报道，SpaceX 宣布计划在美国路易斯安那州海岸新建一座大型星舰发射基地，但是当地居民对于这个新项目意见不一。这个发射场和 1000 亿美元投资势将改变这片以猎鸭闻名的土地。当地居民担心野生动物受伤害，其他人则希望提振经济在路易斯安那州当地一家鱼饵店里，店主塞思 · 查普曼 (Seth Chapman) 一直在做一项非正式民调，以此了解当地居民如何看待即将来到这里、并将在新奥尔良以西这片乡村地区发射火箭的“新来者”。分歧一张白纸上用大号字体写着“SpaceX”，下面分成两栏，访客可以通过贴星星和笑脸贴纸来表达自己的态度。截至上周查普曼停止统计时，支持票已经超过 100 张，超过了 72 张反对票。中间线上还零星贴着一些贴纸，代表尚未决定。这一结果折射出当地对 SpaceX 计划的分歧，该公司拟在约 40 分钟车程外的一段沿海地带建造火箭综合体，而该地区素以猎鸭和垂钓闻名。共和党籍州长杰夫 · 兰德里 (Jeff Landry) 周二在县政府所在地阿比维尔公布了该项目的具体细节。支持和反对的调查结果兰德里表示，SpaceX 承诺为该项目投入 1000 亿美元的资本投资，该公司称预计将创造至少 3000 个长期就业岗位。SpaceX CEO 埃隆 · 马斯克 (Elon Musk) 在一段预先录制的视频中表示，SpaceX 将把这一新基地命名为“路易斯安那星际基地”。

B | 随后，马斯克在社交媒体上表示，该开发项目将建设十多个发射台，最终每天可以执行 30 多次“星舰”发射。这一发射频率相当惊人，仍需获得监管机构批准。该基地将建在佩坎岛附近的一片沿海地区。在这一项目正式宣布之前，它就已经引发了一些当地居民的反对，尤其是那些住在发射场附近的人。他们担心当地野生动物受到伤害，也担心自己被迫离开祖辈世代居住的土地。

C | 但在更广泛的地区，其他居民则希望这一项目能够提振经济，因为当地经济近年来受到了石油产业业务流失的冲击。33 岁的查普曼说，他非常相信马斯克，即便他认为火箭发射可能暂时会把自己热衷捕猎的鸭子吓跑。他在阿比维尔郊外经营一家名为 Perry Outfitters 的鱼饵店，店门前挂着一块醒目的“欢迎 SpaceX”牌子。“无论他想做什么，这最终都会让当地经济受益。”查普曼说。查普曼欢迎 SpaceX，希望它带来就业SpaceX 已经对其星舰进行了三年多的高调测试，并计划很快开始将其用于执行实际任务。路易斯安那州的这处基地规模远大于 SpaceX 在得州布朗斯维尔郊外星际基地所拥有的土地。“他们为我们带来的是一个永久的未来和持久的繁荣。

D | ”兰德里周二称。该项目预计将在未来几年逐步推进。SpaceX 表示，希望最早于 2029 年首次从这片土地发射“星舰”。该公司一名高管在周二活动播放的预录视频中表示，这一基地将支持 SpaceX 实现每年发射数千次星舰的目标。“这将是一个前所未有的项目。”SpaceX 总裁格温 · 肖特韦尔 (Gwynne Shotwell) 说。

E | 她表示，该基地将包括发电设施、航运基础设施、车辆设施，并且可能还会建设一座机场。肖特韦尔表示，SpaceX 将与政府机构合作，加强海岸线保护和野生动物保护。她说，发射时鸟类可能会飞走，但之后还会回来。

F | “外星人来了”该项目在路易斯安那州已讨论数月之久，但更具体的细节直到周二才公布。一些当地居民表示，第一个重大信号出现在几周前，他们醒来时发现道路上被喷上了白色的“X”标记。“我们还以为是外星人来了。”74 岁的比阿特丽斯 · 巴格韦尔 (Beatrice Bagwell) 开玩笑说。

G | 她住在佩坎岛一处 240 英亩的家族宅地上，这片土地已经传承了四代。谈及可能离开这个生活多年的家园时，她一边为家人准备鸡肉饺晚餐晚餐，一边忍不住哭了起来。巴格韦尔 (站)路易斯安那大学拉法叶分校历史学教授迈克尔 ·S· 马丁 (Michael S. Martin) 表示，佩坎岛是维米利恩县一个未建制的沿海地区，常住人口在 100 人至 200 人之间。

H | 每年 11 月至次年 1 月的猎鸭季期间，随着游客前往当地的季节性营地，人口会有所增加。

I | 该县的收入略低于全州平均水平，贫困率则高于全州整体水平。星舰在发射台上的高度超过 400 英尺，升空时发出震耳欲聋的轰鸣声，其可重复使用的助推器在再入大气层时会产生音爆。

J | 出于安全考虑，SpaceX 在火箭操作期间需要让人员远离火箭。最强反对声音一些最强烈的反对声音来自佩坎岛本身。

K | 查普曼在距离发射场更近的地方还有一家鱼饵店，但他没有在那里挂支持 SpaceX 的标语。兰德里表示，当地居民不会被要求离开自己的土地，但在项目宣布之前，一些居民曾担心自己的家园会受到影响。

L | 米勒担心被赶走66 岁的韦恩 · 米勒 (Wayne Miller) 说自己曾投票支持兰德里，但如今却对这位州长感到不满，认为他在为 SpaceX“铺上红地毯”，但没有提前向当地居民透露更多信息。在佩坎岛的家中，米勒拿出了一份打印出来的清单，上面列着兰德里最近签署的一系列支持航空航天产业的法案。他的房子建在高架桩柱上，占地 7 英亩。米勒曾是一名商业捕虾人和油田工人，现已退休，妻子是一名校车司机。

M | 他担心自己不得不离开生活了一辈子的家。他说，每天早晨，他都会在黑腹树鸭的叫声中醒来。他也早已习惯了自己饲养的猪发出的哼哼声，这些猪是养给孙辈和其他孩子参加 4-H 活动时展示的。“如果他们把我们赶走，我们能去哪儿？”米勒说。“我们该怎么办？”布鲁萨德呼吁当地居民站出来反对布鲁克 · 布鲁萨德 (Brooke Broussard) 是巴格韦尔的侄女，也是阿比维尔的一名特殊教育教师，她一直鼓励当地居民站出来反对这一项目。“这里不只是一个打猎和捕鱼的地方，不是什么荒地，也不是一个被遗忘的地方。

N | 她还指出，许多当地居民都是在遭受毁灭性飓风袭击后重新家园、顽强生存下来的人，“生活在这里的人，有权继续生活在这里”。在县政府所在地，市中心街道两旁排列着保存完好的历史建筑。兰德里表示，这个项目将有助于让路易斯安那人留在路易斯安那州，并遏制困扰该州已久的人口流失。54 岁的鲍比 · 乔 · 斯卡利 (Bobbie Jo Scully) 经营着一家当地咖啡店，同时还开公交车、教舞蹈、做美发工作来维持生计，她也算是该项目的支持者。她的三个孩子中已有两个搬到得州寻找收入更高的工作，但斯卡利说，如果 SpaceX 能帮助当地创造更多就业机会，她那位住在休斯敦的女儿可能会回来。“路易斯安那州现在陷入了困境，”她说，“我们需要一些不一样的东西。
