Situation on frontline and peacekeepers in Ukraine
According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Ukrainian forces have advanced near Toretsk. Meanwhile, Russian troops are pushing forward in several directions in the Donetsk and Kursk regions.
ISW predicts that Russian forces will attempt to seize the city of Kostiantynivka. However, the enemy will not be able to capture all the settlements of the so-called "fortress belt" in the Donetsk region.
Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has not ruled out sending troops to Ukraine. This is possible for the implementation of any peace agreement.
