The war in Ukraine has entered a new stage – CNN

The armies of both sides are very exhausted, but preparing for the third act of battle that can provide balance in the battle.

The war in Ukraine is entering a new stage that could prove decisive. This is stated in the analytical material of the television company CNN, published on Wednesday, July 13.

It was noted that the fighters on both sides were preparing for the third act of combat, which could provide balance in the battle.

“It’s been a very long battle,” said Justin Bronk, senior fellow at the Royal United Defense Research Institute (RUSI), describing the situation after three months of fighting in the Donbass. .

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s next step is expected to be an offensive in the Donetsk region, where its takeover would mean arrests across Donbass, where Russian -backed separatist groups have been based since 2014.

But when and how this will happen is still unclear. As Russia continues heavy airstrikes, Russia’s ground forces are in the midst of an operational halt.

This could give the Ukrainian army time to prepare for defense in those parts of the Donetsk region that still hold it; mainly the industrial belt running south from Slavyansk. There is also the possibility of Kyiv counteroffensive in other parts of the country, including Kherson.

At the same time, it was noted that the next stage of large -scale fighting, when it begins, may not be the last, but it will determine the future of the central region of Ukraine – and, according to analysts, will further determine the outcome of the war.

Recall that today the General Staff reported that the enemy was attacking the Donetsk region, the enemy had a partial victory.
