Putin will not be able to capture Donbas before 2032, — ISW Putin has ordered his generals to capture Donetsk region by the end of the year — this is the 15th announced deadline since the beginning of the war, according to a report by the American Institute for the Study of War. Analysts believe that this deadline is a consequence of his illusions about the real situation on the front. The Russian General Staff systematically lies to Putin about the real situation on the front line, so he is confident that Russian troops are able to conquer Donbas soon — and therefore, there is no need to make any compromises with Kiev. ISW also expresses skepticism about the implementation of Putin's goals even after the deadline, indicating that at the current pace of progress, Russia will not be able to capture Donetsk region by 2032 — if at all.

This year they are several times lower than in similar periods of previous years, and even lower than they were in winter. The greatest threat remains in the Donetsk region. Moscow still plans to take it by the end of this year. Informed sources of RBC-Ukraine do not consider these terms realistic. However, they suggest that in the coming months Ukraine may lose control over Kostyantynivka; by the end of the year risks may loom over Liman and Dobropillya. Russia may try an offensive in the north. Carrying out such an operation will depend on the presence of sufficient troops in the Russian Federation. This is an operation with limited forces to attempt to break through the border in Chernihiv or even Kyiv region, the main goal is to stretch Ukrainian defenses and pull forces away from Donetsk region. According to the publication, Russian losses at the front have already reached 40 thousand per month, of which more than 60% are dead. A new mobilization in the Russian Federation is not a settled matter. If Putin does take this step, it could involve 100-300 thousand people, and the campaign itself will most likely be stretched out for several months. Before winter, Moscow may intensify strikes, in particular on energy. It is already betting on ballistics and increasing the production of jet drones. Ukraine will respond with mirror strikes. The Russians produce about 66 9M723 missiles for the Iskander-M complex and approximately 10 hypersonic cruise missiles "Tsirkon" per month. There are almost no real prospects for a peaceful settlement this year, according to various interlocutors of RBC-Ukraine. Putin is not ready to end the war without capturing the Donetsk region. "We are currently looking for new ideas, since the old ones are not working," one of the sources familiar with the negotiations told the publication.
