7.30 – Il PUNTO – The fourth front opening to the west: a new phase of the war?
In the escalation of the Russian offensive it may have opened up a fourth front and the Kremlin can now hit half of the country out of the fighting so far. After Kiev in the north, Kharkiv in the east, the entire Black Sea coast in the south, departed air campaign over the center and west of the country. Yesterday’s first wave hit Lutsk airport, an area left secret by the Ukrainian authorities in Ivano-Frankivsk and an industrial district in Dnipro (here the in-depth analysis of our correspondent Andrea Nicastro).
It seems impossible for the Russian army to widen the ground offensive before they have eliminated the resistance of the large cities already surrounded because they do not have enough armored divisions. However, it can also affect half of Ukraine that has so far remained away from the fighting, for example by hitting factories, infrastructures and civilians directly.
