The Russian army has been widely promoting a major offensive in Ukraine for several months, but the enemy has achieved no significant results. According to Skibitsky, the occupiers' claims of success were largely based on misinformation and overestimation of their own capabilities. In reality, they are unable to launch an offensive on multiple fronts at once. Currently, the occupiers are most active in the Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Lyman, Kupiansk and Shakhtarsk directions.
