No end to the war in Ukraine: Putin is planning a new offensive in spring

The new attacks are expected to begin in February or March, said people close to the Kremlin.

The Kremlin also aims to prove that its forces can resume the initiative after several months of defeats, putting pressure on Kiev and its supporters to agree on an agreement that leaves Russia in control of the territory it has now seized, according to some officials and persons close to the situation.

Bloomberg sources said Putin remains convinced that Russia's major forces and willingness to accept the damage will allow it to achieve successes, despite failures so far.

The new round of mobilization expected to take place until spring was also mentioned, and the economy and society are completely subordination according to the needs of war.

According to experts, Putin is disappointed at how things have developed, but he is not willing to abandon his intentions. Just the road could be longer, bloodier and worse for everyone.

American and Western intelligence is uncertain whether Russia has the resources for a new major offensive, even after mobilization of 300 thousand troops in the fall of the year.

On the other hand, Ukraine's allies have increased weapons supplies by preparing to send key war vehicles and tanks for the first time that could help Ukrainian troops break Russian lines.

Bloomberg also reports Ukraine is preparing to send Russian troops back and release its territories.

Allies are concerned that the new Russian offensive is coming and predicts it could begin before Kiev gets its promised new weapons from the US and Europe. /Periscopi/
