Escalation in Ukraine Conflict: Kyiv Warns of Imminent Large-Scale Land Attack by Russia in the Coming Year
In recent developments, the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia continues to dominate headlines. Here's a roundup of the latest updates:
Ukraine has made significant strides in bolstering its air defenses against Russian missiles, thanks to Western support. However, the Ukrainian government emphasizes that more advanced weaponry is still needed to ensure security.
Regrettably, both Ukraine and Russia have ruled out the possibility of a Christmas truce, and there are currently no talks in progress focused on ending the conflict. Army analysts predict a winter deadlock, despite fierce fighting continuing, particularly in the Donetsk area where Russian pressures are pushing to capture the community of Bakhmut.
Meanwhile, in Washington, the United States military announced plans to expand training in Germany of Ukrainian military personnel. Starting in January, 500 troops a month will be trained, building on over 15,000 Ukrainians trained by the US and its allies since April.
The looming threat of a potential conflict with Russia is not to be underestimated. Reports suggest that the war could start as early as February and last until the end of January at the latest. The conflict may not necessarily start in Donbas, but could also head towards Kyiv or in the direction of Belarus, with southern instructions not being ruled out.
In response to these escalating tensions, European Union leaders have agreed to supply EUR18bn (£15.7 bn) in funding to Ukraine next year and imposed a 9th package of sanctions on Moscow.
It's worth noting that the general who stated that the new Russian offensive might take place as early as January is not explicitly named in the provided search results.
On Thursday, western allies increased their support with additional financing and basic training. The exact details of this support are yet to be disclosed.
As the situation continues to evolve, we will keep you updated on the latest developments. Stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing conflict.
