In their report released on November 24, analysts from the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) noted that the Russian military in Donbas has recently been advancing much faster than in the whole of 2023.
“The front line in the Donetsk region is becoming more and more volatile, as recently Russian troops have been advancing much faster than during the entire year of 2023,” the experts point out.
According to their conclusions, the advance of Russian troops is to a large extent “the result of the identification and tactical use of vulnerable places on Ukrainian lines.”
At the end of last week, the Reuters agency, citing a high-ranking Ukrainian military source, wrote that in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, due to Russian counterattacks, Ukraine lost more than 40% of the territory it captured during hostilities in August.
By advancing on Kursk, the Armed Forces aimed to halt Russian attacks in eastern and northeastern Ukraine, force Russia to withdraw its forces, and give Kyiv additional leverage in any future peace negotiations. But Russian troops continue to advance in the Donetsk region.
