The Ukraine-Russia war has entered what senior military officials described as a decisive phase. Concretely, Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky told Reuters that Russian forces had sustained significant losses and are no longer able of achieving major breakthroughs.
Ukraine, he added, has continued adapting its battlefield tactics, particularly through expanded use of drones and precision strikes. If the country manages to build and sustain momentum, he claimed, its forces will be able to prevent Russia from seizing the last part of the Donetsk region it does not fully occupy. "I believe the next six to nine months are a turning point," he said.
