In Ukraine, there is a view that the Russian military will launch a large-scale attack from the middle of this month with the goal of seizing the eastern part.
On the other hand, the British Ministry of Defense analyzes that the Russian army lacks ammunition and other equipment, and that the troops are not ready to attack.
In Ukraine, where Russia continues to invade, the governor of the eastern Luhansk province, Haidai, told local media on the 6th that Russian military units were hiding equipment in front-line forest areas and refraining from using ammunition. He pointed out that it may be preparing for a new attack, assuming that it will be possible.
And he said, ``An attack is expected from the 15th of this month,'' and is increasing vigilance that the Russian army will launch a large-scale attack from the middle of this month, aiming to seize control of the eastern part.
Russian forces are also intensifying their attacks in the eastern Donetsk region to seize the Ukrainian stronghold of Bakhmut.
On the 6th, the American think tank "War Research Institute" analyzed that "Russian forces have not yet succeeded in encircling Bakhmut", saying that the battle continues on the main road around Bakhmut.
"Ukrainian officials say Russian forces are preparing to launch a large-scale offensive in the eastern part of the country in mid-to-late March," it said.
In addition, the British Ministry of Defense also pointed out on the 7th that ``it is almost certain that the Russian military's goal is to control the entire eastern Donetsk province.''
On the other hand, “Russian forces have only seized a few hundred meters of territory in a week because they lack the necessary ammunition and mobile forces. , It is unlikely that we will be able to increase the necessary force in the next few weeks.”
