Ukraine and Russia are preparing for the biggest battles of the war

Ukraine and Russia sent reinforcements to eastern Ukraine this weekend, preparing for what is likely to be the biggest battle in the war as refugees continue to flee Russia’s impending attack.

Russia’s main goal now is to seize parts of Eastern Donbass that are not yet controlled by Moscow. Unlike the first phase of the six-week conflict, this change forces Ukraine to wage conventional battles with tanks, artillery and aircraft on flat, often barren terrain, allowing Russia to use its superiority in military equipment.
