Russia wants to translate the invasion of Ukraine into long -term conflict - General Staff
The enemy is aware that in the short term of victory he is not visible. "For the purpose of coercing our country into negotiations, as well as the creation of a strategic pause for the restoration and accumulation of its forces, the enemy does not weaken the psychological and economic pressure on our country, first of all by applying mass rocket-artillery strikes on the objects of energy infrastructure of Ukraine,"-said Gromov.
The purpose of such actions is to exhaust Western partners and, especially Ukraine. Such changes were gone after the successful counter -offensive of Ukraine in the Kherson and Kharkiv region. Currently, the main strategic goal of the invaders is to focus forces on the capture of Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. The enemy forces charge a large amount of military equipment to achieve a quantitative advantage in weapons and equipment.
