Kyiv/Moscow - The Russian army is apparently preparing for a battle for the city of Sievarodonetsk, in western Luhansk region.

The oblast is located in eastern Ukraine's Donbass, where Russia has been assembling troops for another offensive for days.

Ukraine-News: Russia is probably preparing a rapid ground offensive

The US think tank "Institute for the Study of War" analyzed in the situation report on Thursday morning (May 26) that conspicuous troop movements around Sievjerodonetsk can currently be observed.

It is possible that Russia could attack the city before cutting off Ukrainian lines of communication on the ground - which appears to be standard military action.

This is reported by the Kyiv Independent news portal with reference to the institute.

The rapid attack on Sievjerodonetsk was therefore probably carried out in order to "maintain the pace after sending a significant part of its personnel, artillery, aircraft and logistics to the front," analyzes the ISW.

So far, Russia has had to accept heavy losses in the Ukraine war.

The Ukrainian general staff now assumes that almost 30,000 soldiers have died.

Logically, the Kremlin quotes significantly lower numbers.
