WASHINGTON – Russia’s expanding military deployment in and around eastern Ukraine in recent days is preparing the stage for a new phase of Moscow’s offensive – one that is likely to be very different from the type of fighting in the past two months.
This time, the military on both sides will operate in open terrain, suitable for massive forces and armored strikes. Russian forces will also fight closer to their bases in Western Russia, providing them with shorter supply lines, and their commanders know better on the territory.
