Russian forces have intensified their military operations in Ukraine, capturing the town of Avdiivka and the village of Pobieda in the Donetsk region, as part of a broader strategy to advance further into Ukrainian territory. President Vladimir Putin and senior ally Dmitry Medvedev have both indicated that the military efforts will not only focus on the eastern regions but also potentially target key cities such as Kyiv and Odesa, which Medvedev referred to as 'Russian cities'. Russia's top general, Valery Gerasimov, visited troops fighting in Ukraine, discussing next steps following the capture of Avdiivka. The capture of Pobieda and Avdiivka has been confirmed by various sources, including state media and the Russian Defence Ministry, with a Russian flag reportedly raised in Pobieda. Ukrainian forces have reportedly been using kamikaze drones to counter the Russian advances, especially around the city of Zaporizhzhia. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with the Ukrainian high command to discuss the operational situation and defensive and offensive strategies.
