Large-scale attacks have returned to Kyiv, with Moscow carrying out significant offensives against the Ukrainian capital. This escalation comes at a time of intensification of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Major General Agostinho Costa analyzes the situation and considers that Moscow maintains the objectives that were set by Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the military analyst, Russia has not altered its strategic intentions since the beginning of the conflict.

Costa states that Russia is always ready to negotiate, but it always does so from a position of strength. This approach allows Moscow to maintain military pressure while participating in eventual negotiations, according to the perspective presented by the military analyst.
