Russian troops are stepping up their offensive to their base cities, aiming for complete control of Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine.
On the other hand, the Ukrainian side is poised to fight thoroughly with the military support of Europe and the United States, and the war situation is expected to stagnate.
The Russian army, which allegedly took control of Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, is concentrating its forces and strengthening its offensive toward full control of the neighboring Donetsk Oblast.
On the 6th, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed that two high-mobility rocket artillery systems = Hymers, which were provided by the United States, were destroyed by a missile attack near Klamatrusik, which is the base on the Ukrainian side in Donetsk Oblast, and military support from Europe and the United States. Seems to be strongly restraining.
Donetsk Governor Kirirenko announced on social media on the 5th that Russian troops bombarded the central market of Slovyansik, one of the Ukrainian bases in the state, killing at least two people and injuring seven.
He accused him of saying, "Russian troops are deliberately aiming for a place where civilians gather. It's a complete terrorist attack."
The British Ministry of Defense, which is analyzing the war situation, said on the 6th that Russian troops are approaching about 16 km north of Slovyansik, and that Slovyansik will become the main battlefield in the future.
Under these circumstances, the Ukrainian side is poised to fight thoroughly with the military support of Europe and the United States, and the war situation in Donetsk Oblast is expected to stagnate.
Meanwhile, one of Putin's closest aides to the invasion of Ukraine, Secretary of the Security Council Patrushev, emphasized on the 4th that "the goals of special military operations will be achieved" and "demilitarized" Ukraine. And "neutralization" were set as goals.
Regarding this, the American think tank "War Research Institute" said in an analysis released on the 5th, "President Putin has not changed from the goal set in February at the beginning of the invasion, which is because Russia still overthrows the Zelensky administration and the eastern part. It suggests that it is aiming to control more than just two states, "said the Putin administration, who said it would continue to invade even if it seized control of the two eastern states.
