The Russian army is significantly slowing down its advance in Donbas. According to analysts, the current dynamics point to a possible multi-year protracted campaign. The Kremlin is likely to rely on political pressure instead of quick military results.<\/p>\n

Russian army slows down offensive in Donbas<\/h2>\n

The pace of Russian troops' advance in Donbas has slowed considerably, as noted by leading analysts. The current dynamics of the fighting indicate a loss of initiative and growing difficulties for the Russian army. At the same time, the Kremlin is likely trying to compensate for military failures by increasing political pressure in the international arena.<\/p>\n

Analysts predict that in this scenario, Russia may need decades to achieve its targets in Donbas<\/a>. This significantly changes calculations about the prospects for the end of hostilities and affects the strategies of the parties.<\/p>\n

Analysts on the duration of the conflict<\/h2>\n

Experts point out that a slowdown in the offensive could lead to the conflict dragging on for years. This situation puts additional pressure on Russia's resources and increases risks to stability in the region. According to analysts, the Kremlin is increasingly relying on political methods to achieve its goals, as its military advantage is being lost.<\/p>\n

At the current rate, the occupation of Donbas could last for decades. This calls into question the effectiveness of the Russian leadership's strategy and increases the importance of diplomatic and economic leverage.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin is changing its strategy<\/h2>\n

Given its declining military success, the Russian leadership is likely to increase its emphasis on political pressure. This may include attempts to to influence the international community<\/a>, as well as the use of information and economic instruments. Analysts believe that this change in approach could be key to further developments in Donbas.<\/p>\n

The reliance on political pressure instead of quick military victories shows that the Kremlin understands the limited resources and the difficulty of achieving its goals by force. This may lead to new formats of negotiations and a change in the balance of power in the region.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/h2>\n

Slowing down the pace of the Russian offensive is of strategic importance for the security of Ukraine and the whole of Europe. The projected prolongation of the conflict for decades creates new challenges for the international community and requires a review of approaches to supporting Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Political pressure from the Kremlin could lead to new attempts to destabilise the situation as at the front<\/a>, and in the internal political life of other countries. This requires Ukraine's partners to strengthen coordination and long-term planning.<\/p>\n

Understanding the dynamics of the conflict and Russia's changing strategy allows governments and societies to prepare for possible scenarios and build resilience to new challenges.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
