The Russian invaders already “run on fumes” trying to seize another part of Ukrainian territory — in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Russians will try to “annex” these territories. This opinion was voiced by Mykola Sunhurovskyi, the Director of Military Programmes of the Razumkov Centre, on the air of the TV marathon “Ukraine Speaks” on Dom TV and UA Today channels, 15 May.

At the same time, Mr Sunhurovskyi emphasises that Russia wants all of Ukraine. However, the occupiers lack capacities to capture the entire country, as we have already seen.
