After a month of fighting that’s yielded limited territorial gains, the Russian military said it’s focusing efforts on taking full control of Ukraine’s Donbas region, potentially a sign it’s backing away from hopes of taking larger swathes of the country.

“Our forces will focus on the main thing – the complete liberation of Donbas,” Sergei Rudskoi, first deputy chief of the General Staff, said Friday, according to the Interfax news service.

Saying the operation is “successful,” Rudskoi claimed Russian troops have surrounded several major cities but deliberately didn’t seek to take them, instead aiming to pin Ukrainian troops down.

His comments were the most detailed official accounting of Russian military performance since the Feb. 24 invasion. Kyiv and its western allies have portrayed Moscow’s military drive as stalled by fierce Ukrainian resistance, as well as poor planning and logistics.

It seems to me that Russia in this military invasion of Ukraine is using a-slap-on-the-wrist approach in dealing with the Ukrainian army, which to me is a good thing. The Ukrainians should just quickly meet the terms of Russia so as to end this. It has been a long month for the two brothers.

They are focusing on Dumb ass.

Rubbish. They ll not get Donbass & lose Crimea too

So all the soldiers killed in Mariupol, and other cities just went there to die for Donbas and Donetsk?

Russia should retreat, coz they can't win this war

Ukraine should be at alert because this might just be a mind game from Russia trying to catch you people unaware. So stay focused and don't loose guard.

Russia don't jam rock, just making flimsy excuse. Dombas my Arse!

Yes, it is a slap on the wrist to use hypersonic missiles against a country with no functions missile defense system.
You are just like your master Putin, any setback is simply part of the strategy.

Haa, you dey knock me hard bro

Putin is waking up to reality.
Regime change is impossible. Even Donbas will be a long battle too. Putin miscalculated, his economy and military show of shame is a disaster.

USA and their NATO GANG have foiled Putin's plans for Ukraine partially so it makes sense to Russia restrategize their war game.

Na lie. Baba has been exposed and he just wan safe face.. Na his Russia wan fight NATO so? Smh

It was always about securing the separatist regions and clearing out all Nazis ...the second phase will now be regime change.
