Ar putea urma cele mai grele confruntări ale anului 2026, avertizează experții. Rusia și Ucraina se luptă pentru controlul Donbasului

Ukraine is preparing for intense battles in Donetsk as Russian forces approach Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Experts predict that September and October may bring the heaviest fighting of the year. The Russian military is less than 15 kilometers from these key cities, which are crucial for controlling the industrial region of Donetsk. Ukraine's new military leadership faces its first major test in defending this area. Despite challenges, Ukrainian forces have previously managed to halt Russian advances. The situation remains complex, with Russia struggling to penetrate Ukrainian defenses while Ukraine deals with a shortage of troops.
