According to analysts from the American Institute of the Study, Russia does not want to freeze the war, but on the contrary, it demonstrates its readiness to escalate and wants Ukraine to capitulate completely.
This was reported by “URA-Inform” with reference to ISW.
In In particular, the occupiers are preparing to attack the Dnipropetrovsk region. According to analytical forecasts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the Russian command may be planning a new offensive on the southeastern part of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
This region is not part of the illegally annexed territories, however its capture could support Russia's long-standing goal of a complete occupation of the Donetsk region. Russia – to seize the entire Donetsk region.
It is worth noting that the Russian occupiers have never set foot on the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk region, if you do not count the episode at the very beginning of the invasion, when several cars with enemy soldiers entered the village of Maryanske in the Kryvyi Rih region from the then occupied Kherson region. As reported, they then visited a local gas station and returned back.
As of now, the enemy army is 4 km from Nikopol – on the left bank of the Zaporizhia region. And about 7 km from the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region with Donetsk .
At the same time, NATO called for changing the “trajectory of war”: what does this mean?
