The Ukrainian military can free Kherson and advance significantly in the Donbass until December, writes New York Times with reference to American intelligence.
Sources argue that individual divisions of Russia’s forces under Ukrainian pressure can fall apart. This will allow Ukraine to restore control at Kherson and cities in the Donbass.
According to intelligence of the United States, hostilities will last a few more months, although American and Ukrainian officials do not give more accurate forecasts. The course of winter will greatly affect the onset of winter, the readiness of Russian President Vladimir Putin for escalation and the test of the unity of the West with high prices and minus temperatures.
