Russia Intensifies Ukraine Offensive Amidst New Tactics and US Aid
Kremlin officials are reportedly demanding Ukraine cede key territories in Donetsk and Luhansk as part of a ceasefire, with Russia seeking to freeze the front lines without a full withdrawal, while Ukraine and its allies remain cautious, fearing such concessions would favor Russia and prolong the conflict. Russia's ongoing military efforts and strategic positions, along with Putin's uncompromising demands, suggest little genuine interest in peace negotiations, and recent drone strikes indicate continued hostilities. The situation remains complex, with international diplomacy and military developments closely intertwined.
