Ukrainian war, Lukashenko tries to act as mediator: Moscow and Kiev in a stalemate

In Ukraine, between Kiev and Moscow, “the situation is now a serious impasse, we have to negotiate”. This was highlighted by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, according to whom “there are enough problems on both sides and, in general, the situation is now a serious impasse: no one can do anything to strengthen or advance their position”. Quoted by Belta, Lukashenko, a great ally of Vladimir Putin, called “to sit down at the negotiating table and reach an agreement. As he once said, there should be no preconditions, the main thing is that the order to “stop” is given.

The war of attrition has now become a static conflict, in which an advance of a few hundred meters is celebrated as a triumph. With all due respect to the thousands of victims who continue to be registered every week, even though the two headquarters do not provide numbers or details of those who died. The military conflict in Ukraine has entered its less volatile, but no less bloody, phase. The battle continues mainly on three fronts, the eastern, southern and northeastern, with neither side managing to gain an advantage. Things are better in Kiev, in the Andiivka area, which has become the priority epicenter of the conflict. It is here, in the heart of Donbass, just a few steps from Donetsk, which declared itself independent in 2014, that Zelensky’s men defend with dignity Moscow’s offensive, which would lose up to 900 soldiers a day. The situation in Kupiansk, further north, is more critical for the resistance: the Russians aim for the total occupation of the city, which has always been considered a fundamental railway center for supplying troops. The Kremlin has concentrated significant resources in both men and equipment and it is in this territory of the Kharkiv region that the Ukrainians would be in obvious difficulties. The third front is the most enigmatic. The reference is to the Dnipro area, where Moscow continues to bomb Kherson (even at the weekend there were heavy attacks with several injured), but at the same time national troops would have managed to land on the other bank of the river for the first time. river of time.
