Can Ukraine Survive Russia’s Summer Offensive? (History Legends)

What can we expect the Russian Army to achieve in its 2025 Summer Offensive? Russian forces achieved a breakthrough in Donetsk Oblast between the towns of Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka. Both cities and their garrisons are now at risk of encirclement. At the same time, Russian forces are also about to complete the capture of Southern Donetsk, bringing their forward elements inside Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. For this reason, we can ask ourselves if Ukraine will launch another diversionary offensive this year.
