Even as Russian forces pummel towns and villages in Donetsk Province with deadly rocket attacks and airstrikes, military experts say the strikes are most likely only the prelude to a full-scale assault.
President Vladimir V. Putin’s forces are laying the groundwork for an onslaught, according to the Institute for the Study of War, a research group based in Washington, which said that on Wednesday, for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine in February, it claimed no territorial gains.
Still, Russia’s attacks in Donetsk in recent days have caused heavy damage. At least seven civilians were killed in the last 24 hours, including a 17-year-old girl found under rubble, local authorities said on Thursday. In Kramatorsk, which serves as Ukraine’s administrative and military center in the province, a rocket struck a residential area in the center of the city around midday, killing one person and wounding six others, officials there said.
The Institute for the Study of War said in its most recent assessment that while Russian forces may have “initiated an operational pause” in Donetsk, it did not mean “the complete cessation of active hostilities.” Instead, the report said, Moscow’s troops “will likely confine themselves to relatively small-scale offensive actions as they attempt to set conditions for more significant offensive operations.”
Moscow is turning its attention to Donetsk Province after completing its capture of Luhansk Province, to its northeast, last week. After that victory, military experts said that Russia would rotate troops out and bring in fresh ones.
A report on Thursday by British military intelligence said that while heavy shelling continued on the front line in Donetsk, Russian forces had made few advances and were “likely reconstituting” their operations.
