New Attacks by Russia on the Border: How the Kremlin Uses Them to Pressure the West

According to glavcom.ua: Recent events in Ukraine indicate that the Kremlin is conducting a campaign of cognitive warfare, trying to convince the West that the situation at the front is deteriorating. Russian dictator Putin has announced his plans to create a 'buffer zone' in northern Ukraine, threatening to seize new territories.

The Institute for the Study of War warns that a Russian victory is not inevitable and emphasizes the importance of not succumbing to Kremlin provocations. The situation remains tense, but a military collapse in eastern Ukraine is not unavoidable; analysts advise against panic and encourage rational action.
