"The plan has changed hundreds of times": The Kremlin now wants to capture all Donbas before the beginning of winter - ft

Putin will not be ready for an agreement with Ukraine until the Russian troops capture the entire Donetsk region, says the Moscow source. The plan of the offensive in Ukraine has changed many times, and now the Kremlin hopes that Russian troops will be able to fully occupy the Donetsk region before winter. This was reported with reference to the Moscow source by Financial Times.

The interlocutor of the publication noted that any potential agreement between the Russian Federation and Ukraine will consolidate the front line, but Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be ready for its compilation until the aggressor state troops occupy all Donbas. "Putin will not be ready until Russia receives all Donetsk. The plan has changed hundreds of times. No one in Russia has ever fought with the army the size of Ukrainian. It will last for a long time," the source said.

For his part, the founder of the Polish consulting company ROCAN CONSULTING Konrad Music claims that this winter the pace of a military campaign can slow down, although land attacks will still continue. "But, after all, both parties are likely not enough for troops to reflect the position and make a decisive contribution," the expert said.
