Russia continues to intensify its offensive activities in Donbas, capturing 500 square kilometers of territory in just November. This is twice as much as in the previous month, their pace of advancement is devastating.
Vladimir Putin has expressed his desire to seize the Donetsk region, using either force or negotiations. The Ukrainian leader announced a conversation with envoys from the White House, but this did not stop Russia: attacks on cities and infrastructure continue.
The Russian army is winning in the Zaporizhzhia region and is approaching the capture of Kupiansk in Kharkiv region. A Finnish analyst warns that Russia may need several years for complete domination over Donbas, so peace is still not close.
