Will Russia break Ukraine again? / The first chapter of the devastation is over, the Russian general said - now the second chapter will start

A month has passed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Today is the 31st day of the war. With this, Russia has claimed that it has completed the first phase of the attack on Ukraine. A Russian general has claimed that Russia has successfully completed the goals of the first phase of the military campaign. After this, Russia will now move on to the second stage.

Colonel Sergei Rudskoy, the first deputy chief of the General Staff of Russia, said during a media briefing on Friday that, in general, we have completed the first phase of the military operation. During this period the capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have drastically decreased. For this reason we will now focus on accomplishing our main goal (complete control over Donbass). Actually, earlier it was said by Russian President Vladimir Putin that the war in Ukraine is going according to plan.

Russia was forced to change strategy?

The statement from Russia comes at a time when it has reduced its military operations in Kyiv and Kharkiv. This has happened when there have been reports of the death of many Russian soldiers in this war. According to a report, Russia has also appeared largely weak in its air strikes in Ukraine. During the briefing, the Russian general, Rudskoy, told that so far, 1351 Russian soldiers have been killed. Whereas, NATO and Ukraine claim that more than 15 thousand Russian soldiers have died so far.

Russia will break Ukraine again

Russia is preparing to re-divide Ukraine into two halves. After the annexation of Crimea in 2014, Russia is now preparing to take full control of Donbass of Ukraine. This has also been indicated by the Russian general. Rudskoy said that, people are thinking that, what are we doing in different parts of Ukraine, but we are doing this with the aim of damaging their military infrastructure, resources. With this we can fight the war firmly in Donbass.

Now Russia will move forward on the real strategy

Before invading Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin had declared Donetsk's Donetsk and Luhansk independent states. Actually, these are the areas where the separatists live and they support Russia. Russia will now advance its military campaign to isolate the entire Donbass from Ukraine in the second phase.
