1, the United States provided Ukraine with "Hippo" multiple rocket launchers, which made Snake Island unable to hold on. It is wise for Russian troops to withdraw from Snake Island.
2. Snake Island has seized the throat of Odessa Port in Ukraine. In order to prevent Russian troops from using Snake Island to attack Odessa, Ukraine laid a large number of mines in Odessa port and its surrounding waters, making Odessa port a "dead port".
Russia's high-profile withdrawal from Snake Island under the pretext of opening the Ukrainian grain transportation channel is actually pushing Ukraine to the forefront of international public opinion. Because the Russian army has given up the blockade of Odessa port, if Ukraine does not transport a large amount of grain through Odessa port, the responsibility for the "food shortage" in the international market lies in Ukraine.
But in fact, it is really impossible for Ukraine to transport a large amount of food through Odessa port. Because Ukraine has laid too many mines around Odessa port. Ukraine must open its sea lanes while clearing mines.
The opening of Ukrainian sea lanes will delay the work of grain transportation and consume a lot of energy. What's more, it will also facilitate the Russian army to attack Odessa in disguise in the future.
Judging from the current situation, although Russian troops have withdrawn from Snake Island, Ukrainian troops will not set up positions in Snake Island. There are three reasons for this:
1, now that the Russian army has withdrawn, it means that Snake Island has returned to the hands of the Ukrainian army. Snake Island is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so there is no need for Ukrainian troops to waste their forces to establish defensive positions on Snake Island.
2. Snake Island has been covered by the overwhelming firepower of Ukrainian troops, and Russian troops have been forced to evacuate Snake Island. In other words, the military significance of Snake Island is not significant in the future "Battle of Odessa" between Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, it is of little significance for the Ukrainian army to send people to Snake Island.
3. Snake Island hangs alone in the Black Sea, and the terrain is relatively flat. Once the Ukrainian army enters Snake Island, it is likely to be attacked by the Russian navy and air force.
In view of the naval and air power of the Ukrainian army, it is far less than that of the Russian army. Once the Ukrainian army is attacked in Snake Island, the Ukrainian army will have no strength to fight back and will only be passively beaten. In view of this, the Ukrainian army should not be stationed in Snake Island.
