that Ukraine has along all fronts; it was built
up in the course of the 2014 Donbas war. , Mikhail Alexseev, political science professor

Russia's Ministry of Defense has
denied that Soledar has been taken over,
adding that "fighting is ongoing.".
Overall, these operations indicate

fighting and keep gaining advantages
with the force of numbers, Mikhail Alexseev, political science professor

This is the kind of strategy that
the Kremlin could see lasting many
months, if not years, whereby it retains
the already occupied territories
and keeps slowly occupying new ones, Mikhail Alexseev, political science professor
