The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can start a large -scale offensive in the western part of Donetsk region - ISW
Given the replenishment of personnel by the mobilized expense, ISW does not exclude that Russia can start a large -scale offensive in the western part of the Donetsk region to fully establish control of the frontline area. In addition, the assault actions on this area of the front can be aimed at consolidating the success of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the area of collet and Pavlovka.
In addition, the offensive in the West of the Donetsk region will allow the invaders to "supplement" their promotion on the outskirts of Bakhmut, where fierce fighting continues. At the same time, according to analysts, the military power of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation remains "degraded", which is why, even with mobilized mobilized, Russia is unlikely to capture strategically important territories in the coming months.
"The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation seems to be moving heavy equipment from the rear districts of the Luhansk region to areas near the current front line along the border between Kharkiv and Luhansk region. The Russians also resumed their group of forces along this line. Recent temperature drops in the area. Probably creating the conditions for increasing the pace of offensive operations, " - added analysts in a fresh report.
