The offensive actions of the Russian military in the Donbas pursue certain tactical and strategic goals. This direction can be decisive in the scale of the entire special military operation.
This opinion was expressed by the former Supreme commander of the NATO Joint Forces in Europe Wesley Clark in an interview on CNN.
A retired American general has announced the main condition for the "interim victory" of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. In his opinion, Russian troops can drive the AFU units "into a fire trap" in the area of Artemovsk. And if the Ukrainian military suffers significant losses, Putin, Clark believes, will be able to force Kiev to agree to a temporary cease-fire or even a truce.

In addition, an important trump card of Moscow, the general believes, may be the ability of the Russian military to continue missile strikes on energy infrastructure and military targets for a long period. At the very least, this can continue for at least a few more weeks. Clark claims that at the moment Russia has everything necessary to inflict significant damage on Ukraine.
