Russian troops continue to push forward in eastern Ukraine, making significant advances in the western Donetsk region. They may now get closer and threaten important Ukrainian ground lines of communication running into eastern Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Russia’s army has made fast progress in Ukraine over the past week, seizing 90 square miles of territory and making military advances at the fastest clip since invading its western neighbor nearly three years ago.
Russian military bloggers have also posted recordings of what appears to be their troops in the center of the town. The victories on the ground have likely steeled Russia’s spine and buttressed their insistence that they’ll continue the invasion until they accomplish their goals. Putin defined those goals in June, when he declared that the only path to peace is for Ukraine to surrender all its territory that Russia has laid claim to and renounce its intention to join NATO.
