The continuing of #Russian offensive operations around #Bakhmut and #Avdiivka, as well as along the #Luhansk and western #Donetsk front lines, is a further indicator that #Putin remains committed to victory in a protracted war.

It is not a given, nevertheless, that #Putin will continue fighting regardless of cost until the day he dies.

Putin is nevertheless putting no terms for negotiation on the table now other than #Russia’s total success. 2/
The choices before #Ukraine and its Western backers at this time are thus relatively straightforward:

(1) Ukraine can unilaterally cease fighting even as #Russian attacks by ground and air continue, which would lead to disastrous defeat. 3/

#Putin instead remains focused on achieving his initial war aims through protracted conflict in which he wins either by imposing his will on #Ukraine by force or by breaking #Ukraine’s will following the West’s abandonment of #Kyiv.

Multiple successful #Ukrainian counter-offensives are almost certainly necessary but not sufficient to either persuade #Putin to negotiate on acceptable terms. . . 2/3
. . . or to create military conditions on the ground favorable enough to #Ukraine and the West that continued or renewed #Russian attacks pose acceptable threats to Ukraine or #NATO. 3/3

#Russian Occupation Update:

#Ukrainian Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov stated on March 25 that Russian occupation authorities and Ukrainian collaborators held a secret meeting wherein they prepared plans to evacuate from #Zaporizhia Oblast.

isw.pub/UkrWar032523 Image
Such preparations are understandable due to pervasive #Russian fear of a pending #Ukrainian counteroffensive in #Zaporizhia Oblast, on which ISW has previously reported. 2/
The reported readiness of occupation authorities to evacuate suggests that occupation authorities may have low confidence in the ability of #Russian forces to stop a #Ukrainian counteroffensive. 3/3

#Ukrainian and Western officials offered various views of the state of the #Russian offensive in #Bakhmut on March 25, but all are consistent with the assessment that the Russian effort around Bakhmut is likely culminating.

isw.pub/UkrWar032523 ImageImage
#Russian forces may continue to attack #Bakhmut frequently and aggressively even if the offensive has culminated with little to no success, as ISW has previously assessed, as culmination does not mean the absence of fighting. 2/
#Russian attacks in and around #Bakhmut may resume at high levels without generating significant new gains if conventional Russian forces do, in fact, enter the fray. 3/

As #Russian offensives culminate and Ukraine prepares to launch counter-offensives, #Putin claimed that the West cannot sustain weapons provisions to 🇺🇦 & exaggerated 🇷🇺's potential to mobilize its own defense industrial base (DIB) ... 1/3
isw.pub/UkrWar032523
... to create the false impression that further #Ukrainian resistance & Western support to 🇺🇦is futile.

#Putin’s comments are an information operation designed to revive the aura of #Soviet-era military industry and massed forces. 2/3
They do not reflect current #Russian realities or the balance of economic power or military industrial capacity between #Russia and the collective West. 3/3

Poroshenko in Oct 2014, addressing the #Russian speaking population in Donbass:

Want to know who trained those #Ukrainian soldiers killing innocent people in the Donbas?

Results of #Putin and #XiJinping meeting

#Russian President Vladimir Putin felt worse yesterday than the day before. This affected his mood and the outcome of negotiations with #Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

US obsessed with idea of dealing strategic blow to Russia, says envoy

The #US has been causing the geography of the #Ukrainian crisis to expand & it turns a blind eye to the corrupt #Kiev regime, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said.
sana.sy/en/?p=304230
Commenting on a new $350 million package of #US military aid for #Ukraine, he said, “#Washington is obsessed with the idea of inflicting a strategic defeat on our country. With its steps, the [US] administration is only pushing the Ukrainian radicals toward new terrible deeds,”
According to the #Russian envoy, “with each delivery of military equipment, the [#Ukrainian President Vladimir] #Zelensky regime feels more & more impunity. It continues to kill civilians in the #Donbass, #Zaporozhye & #Kherson regions of #Russia with pure cynicism,”

#Russian President Vladimir #Putin visited occupied #Mariupol on March 19, likely to project the image of invulnerability and to continue efforts to portray himself as an involved wartime leader. isw.pub/UkrWar031923
