Russia continues its attempts to capture territory in Ukraine, but experts believe that this process may take a long time and resources. Even with some successes, Russian activity faces obstacles and limitations, as shown by the analysis results. Russia is looking for ways to force Ukraine and the West to transfer control over Donbas to save time and reduce losses.
At the same time, the conflicting parties have different views on how to resolve the situation. The USA is trying to persuade Ukraine to make territorial concessions for a truce, but the Kremlin demands full control over the Donetsk region before any agreements. While Russia spreads the idea of its victory, experts believe that the narrative imposed on them may be false.
