Putin does not plan to end the war in Ukraine - report

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Russian troops are trying to push Ukrainian forces from the eastern bank of the Oskil River. Analysts suggest that Russia may advance to Velykyi Burluk next. Experts noted that the Russian army is not rushing to achieve its goals.

"Putin's military command is not concerned about the speed of advancement in Ukraine and believes that the war will continue until Russia's victory," the report claims.

In total, the war has been ongoing for 1074 days. The enemy is actively attacking, having carried out 49 airstrikes, utilizing 99 helicopters and 900 kamikaze drones, as well as about five thousand artillery shellings. However, Ukrainian defenders are trying to repel the enemy's attempts, delivering effective fire and exhausting them along the entire front line.
