Of course, weather will play a role, since precipitation will significantly reduce terrain passability and, accordingly, troop maneuverability. At the same time, it is highly likely that they will continue carrying out their offensive operations in order to achieve the objectives set by their top military and political leadership,&#8221; Hnatov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He clarified that the stated Russian objective is the complete &#8220;liberation&#8221; of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, meaning an attempt to reach their administrative borders and fully occupy the territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Hnatov, given current developments, the formations created, their composition, and assigned tasks, it can be predicted that Russian forces will continue to concentrate their efforts precisely on the Pokrovsk and Dobropillia axes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/german-defense-minister-to-open-new-logistics-hub-for-german-brigade-in-lithuania\/\">German Defense Minister to Open New Logistics Hub for German Brigade in Lithuania<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the autumn-winter season and significant losses in manpower, weapons, and military &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":1228279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-1228278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
