In the face of fierce Ukrainian resistance, Russia stalls Kyiv offensive and shifts its focus to Donbas in the east.
Russian forces are shifting their focus away from the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv as they prepare to undertake a renewed effort to consolidate control on Donbas in the east, Russian and U.S. officials said Friday.
It’s not clear what those objectives were, but he added that it “makes it possible to focus our core efforts on achieving the main goal, the liberation of Donbas.” The fighting in Donbas in the country’s east and south has been fierce, with tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops holding out against attacks from multiple fronts. Those forces, known as the Joint Forces Operation, are slowly being encircled by Russian forces who have clawed small but steady gains during days of fierce combat.
