Russia may launch an offensive on the Dnepropetrovsk region in 2025 — The Times
Moscow firmly intends to take Pokrovsk, for which it will use significant forces. The same tactics will be used as in Mariupol, Bakhmut and Avdievka, the publication believes.
Thus, the loss of Pokrovsk and Chasov Yar will become inevitable, and Kyiv will have to come to terms with this. However, that's not all.
Already next year, Pokrovsk and Chasov Yar could become a springboard for a major offensive to capture the entire Donbass and create a threat to the Dnepropetrovsk region. At the same time, the publication believes that decisive battles should not be expected this year – both sides are gathering forces for major battles in 2025.
