They seek to capture 5 areas: Putin included Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the Southern District - ISW
It is not only about the territories that are now occupied, but about the whole Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, but also of Donetsk and Lugansk regions and Crimea, which has been part of the PVO since 2014. The inclusion of both the occupied and non -industrial territories of Ukraine is another testimony that Russia pursues the maximum goals in Ukraine and seeks to capture full five Ukrainian regions. According to the decree, the Leningrad and Moscow military districts are being restored.
The bulk of the territories that were once part of the Northern Navy went to Leningrad. According to another decree of the Kremlin head, the Moscow and Leningrad military districts are officially restored, the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation was left without the status county. ISW believes that in this way, Russian military-political leadership pursues two goals at the same time.
