Today one cannot rule out any worst-case scenarios
If we look at what was happening in recent days and what can be expected, we must first assume that Russia’s statements about the reduction of its military activity in the Kyiv and Chernihiv areas are not a gesture of goodwill. Instead, it is a forced step prompted by strong opposition from the Ukrainian armed forces and Ukraine’s resistance in general. It is not a question of a ceasefire — it is rather a forced retreat, which Russia will try to compensate by other means, in particular, by more active use of artillery or missile systems outside the reach of Ukrainian countermeasures. And also, by the concentration of its troops in the Donbas.
