CNN reports that Russia announced on Sunday that his troops are pushing its troops into the central Ukrainian region of Dnipropetrovsk for the first time. This area that Russia has been trying to achieve for months could create new problems for Kiev's already stressed forces.

Russian troops reach Dnipropetrovsk

Sub -units of the 90th PanzerDivision of the Russian armed forces have the border between Dnipropetrovsk and the Donetsk-Region , large parts of which are already under Russian occupation. After that they are said to have come on in Dnipropetrovsk.

unclear ambitions of Moscow

The exact range of the advance is unclear, as is Moscow's goals for the attack. CNN cannot check the reports about the fighting, and Ukraine has not yet confirmed the Russian advance. However, if this is confirmed, this would be a setback for the Ukrainian armed forces, especially at a time when the peace talks have stalled.

Russian progress under pressure

The geopolitical location in Dnipropetrovsk

An assessment of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) regarding the Russian offensive shows that the Russian armed forces continued their offensive operations towards Pokrovsk on Saturday, but did not win soil. Dnipropetrovsk is surrounded by three regions, some of which are occupied by Russia: Donetsk, Cherson and Saporischschja. A declared goal of Russia is to conquer all three regions. In addition, Russia is already checking almost the entire area of the fourth region, Luhansk.

challenges for defense

dnipropetrovsk is more economical and more rural than the four Donbas regions and therefore more difficult to defend. The region represents an important mining and logistics center and had an estimated three million inhabitants before the start of the war.

Russian offensive in Sumy

The Russian claims come only a few days after its troops in the northern region of Sumy have continued to come, which means that the capital of the region, which is also called Sumy, has come within reach of drones and artillery. Although the capture of the capital goes beyond what Moscow probably wants to achieve, this advance illustrates the pressure that Kiev is exposed to from the northern border to the Black Sea.
