It is more important for Russia to continue the offensive in the Donetsk region than to stop the offensive of the Ukrainian army

ISW believes that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and the Russian military are likely to continue prioritizing Russian offensive action in eastern Ukraine, namely in the direction of Pokrovsk and Toretsk.

In response to Ukraine attack on Russia’s Kursk region, the Russian military commander recently moved elements of at least one airborne regiment from the Zaporizhia region, perhaps in an effort to improve command and control of the new troops. According to the ISW, these “cannot be considered priority front areas in the Russian army”.

The think tank predicts that Russia They will continue to achieve as many territorial goals in the Donetsk region, and it is not going to undermine these efforts to quickly repel the Ukrainian offensive on Kursk.

As reported, the Ukrainian army began the offensive in the Kursk region on August 6, breaking through the Russian border guard in the Suzh region, and then began a rapid advance in the neighboring regions as well. . Therefore, as the hostilities following the Russian invasion have lasted for the third year, Ukraine has finally transferred the war to the territory of the invading country itself.
