A recent analysis by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) points to a new Russian strategy that may focus on seizing part of the Dnipropetrovsk region in order to provide a springboard for a further offensive on the Donetsk region . According to ISW analysts, the move is part of a broader strategy aimed at strengthening Russian control in the eastern region of Ukraine and creating more stable front lines for further advances.
Also, "the Russian military can use the limited advance into Dnipropetrovsk region to create conditions for future operations for the military occupation of Dnipropetrovsk region and other regions of eastern and central Ukraine in the long term."
Earlier, we detailed how the breakthrough of the Russian Federation near Velika Novosilka could lead to problems for the Armed Forces on the entire southern front, including the offensive of the Russian Federation in the direction of the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
It should be noted that now there are a little more than 7 km from the Russian positions in Novodarivka to the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
