Fortifying Kalynove: Preparations suggest renewed Russian offensive
Russian occupation forces are actively fortifying in the village of Kalynove in the Donetsk region—moving infantry, organizing logistics, and communication, as well as preparing for offensive operations towards Stara Mykolaivka and the road leading to Kostiantynivka.
According to DeepState information, Russian troops continue to strengthen their positions in the village of Kalynove. Infantry is being brought into the village, logistical routes are being mapped out, and a communication system is being established.
Are the Russians launching an attack in the Donbas?
Furthermore, active preparations for a possible offensive towards Stara Mykolaivka and the road leading to Kostiantynivka have been noted.
Analysts from DeepState believe that the massive use of enemy drones remains a serious threat to Ukrainian units on this section of the front. According to Ukrainian soldiers, crews of drone operators who previously participated in combat operations in the Kursk region have arrived.
- They are trying to destroy our logistics and are already flying unimpeded close to Kostiantynivka - emphasize Ukrainian military personnel on this section of the front.
Russians are also deploying forces to Zaporizhia
A few days earlier, Petro Andriushchenko, head of the Centre for Occupation Studies and former mayor of Mariupol, warned that as many as 30 Russian trucks per day marked with "V" and "Z" carrying ammunition and soldiers are reaching areas near the Zaporizhzhia region in Ukraine.
As reported by The Moscow Times, Russia is trying to prolong peace talks to capture as much territory as possible. According to a source close to the Kremlin, Putin intends at all costs to achieve full control over Ukrainian regions, which have already been written into the Russian constitution as "joining" the Russian Federation.
The Moscow Times' source mentioned that the current military forces are unable to conduct battles for Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, so they might attempt to seize other territories, such as parts of the Dnipropetrovsk or Sumy regions.
The occupied lands in other regions could then be exchanged for parts of the annexed regions that are not under Russian control.
