The actions of the Russian army in the Donbas prove that they now have three goals.

Axar.az reports the statement came from Alexander Musienko, head of the Ukrainian Center for Military Legal Studies.

The expert listed the enemy's goals as follows:

“The complete capture of Severodonetsk;

Approaching Lysychansk, probably from the south;

Traffic from Popasnaya and an attempt to control the Lysychansk-Bakhmut highway. The enemy also intends to join another group of troops in the east.
