Kyiv Independent: Kyiv warns of new Russian northern offensive — could it happen?

“The redeployment option appears unlikely for now, according to Tetiana Trach, a Russia researcher at the Institute for the Study of War, as Moscow remains focused on the current front, particularly in Donetsk Oblast.

‘Russia, however, remains committed to continuing its offensives in Donbas and northeastern and southern Ukraine — with the Kremlin reportedly demanding that the Russian command seize the remaining 19% of Donetsk Oblast by Dec. 31,’ Trach said.”
