Russian troops are approaching Zoria in the Donetsk region

According to analysts from DeepState, Russian troops have managed to continue their advance in Donetsk. They have particularly successfully captured the village of Zoria and approached other settlements.

“The map has been updated. The enemy occupied Zoria and also advanced in Novotroitske, Uspenivka, Kurakhove, Sontsivka, and near Veselyi Hai,” representatives reported.

It was previously reported that Vladimir Putin will change his position only after the occupation of new Ukrainian territories ceases. This is stated in materials from Foreign Affairs magazine. Elected U.S. President Donald Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine in one day, but this is currently impossible due to the tense situation on the front. Some analysts believe that Trump should develop a complex plan that combines the surrender of part of Russia's territory with additional security from NATO to ensure stable peace.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte suggests that Ukraine postpone peace negotiations with the Russian Federation until sufficient military aid is received from western allies. He believes that this way Ukraine will be able to achieve victory on the battlefield and strengthen its positions for future negotiations. However, Head of the President's Office Andriy Yermak stated that Ukraine is currently not ready for negotiations with Russia, as it lacks sufficient military support and security guarantees from Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
