Russia is preparing a spring offensive operation in two directions in Ukraine, Welt reports.
The publication refers to a French OSINT analyst nicknamed Clement Molin, who filmed the latest activity of Russian artillery strikes from the banks of the Dnieper to Konstantinovka. It turned out that the largest number of strikes were concentrated in three points: Pokrovsk-Dobropil, Gulyaypole-Ternuvate and Stepnogorsk. According to Clement Molin, recent strikes prove that in the first half of 2026, the Russian Federation plans to capture two key cities - Orekhov and Dobropole.
In particular, he notes Komyshuvakha, where the largest number of artillery strikes by the Russian armed forces were delivered. In the Donetsk region, he identifies the area west of Pokrovsk and west of Konstantinovka as vital for the Kremlin. As the OSINT analyst noted, the area between these two points is “the next Russian target“.
