Ukraine braced for renewed Russian offensive later in February

Key Facts

  • Mr Reznikov said Russia did not have all of its resources ready to launch an offensive, but may do so anyway as a symbolic gesture, given the one-year anniversary of Moscow's full-scale invasion on 24 February.
  • He said Russia is expected to prioritise taking the whole of the eastern Donbas as well as launching offensives in the south and east of Ukraine to create a land corridor across all the areas it currently occupies.
  • Mr Reznikov said Ukraine's new long-range missiles will have a range of 90-mile (150km) but they will not be used against Russian territory - only against Russian units in occupied areas of Ukraine.
  • Despite the flow of Western weapons to Ukraine, Russia has made gains around the Bakhmut area in recent days, as Russia's army throws more and more soldiers into combat.
