Mientras Estados Unidos y los países europeos discuten los detalles del plan de paz para Ucrania, la invasión a gran escala de Rusia avanza a toda velocidad. En la línea del frente de Donetsk, los drones ucranianos hacen casi imposibles los rápidos avances rusos.

Donetsk Oblast

Russian forces have invaded Ukraine from land, air and sea with strikes causing widespread damage. Global leaders have condemned the move and imposed sanctions.

Ukraine Invasion

Russian forces have claimed control of the key city of Pokrovsk in Ukraine's Donetsk region after months of fighting, though Ukrainian forces maintain a presence in part of the city. Russia now controls just over 19% of Ukrainian territory, a modest increase since 2022, but has suffered nearly 400,000 casualties in the process. 

The conflict has escalated beyond the front lines, with Russia increasing attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and Ukraine stepping up drone strikes on Russian oil facilities. Both sides are intensifying efforts as the US and Europe work on separate peace initiatives, aiming to secure favorable terms for their respective allies.

Rusia avanza lentamente en Ucrania con enormes bajas

Las fuerzas rusas golpean las líneas del frente ucraniano. Moscú dice que ha tomado el control de la ciudad clave de Pokrovsk tras meses de brutales combates. Ucrania dice que sus fuerzas todavía se aferran a una franja de la ciudad. Tomando Pokrovsk, que se encuentra en una carretera clave y cruce de ferrocarril, era una prioridad para Rusia. Las fuerzas rusas intentan ahora rodear Konstantinovka. Tomar ambas ciudades facilitaría el acceso a Kramatorsk y Slovyansk, adentrándose más en la región de Donetsk. Rusia controla algo más del 19% del territorio ucraniano, sin embargo, sólo un 1% más que a finales de 2022. La mayor parte de esas ganancias se produjeron este año, al tiempo que sufrían casi 400.000 bajas. Ucrania está sufriendo una escasez de mano de obra y un empeoramiento de la moral, pero el frente está saturado de drones asesinos, haciendo que los rápidos avances rusos sean casi imposibles. El presidente ucraniano Volodymyr Zelensky ha estado presionando a los aliados para mantener el flujo de suministros. Muy por detrás de las líneas del frente, Rusia ha vuelto a arreciar sus ataques contra la energía de Ucrania y la infraestructura de calefacción a niveles sin precedentes, ahora que el invierno empieza a apretar. Muchas regiones han sufrido apagones y cortes de electricidad de emergencia, incluida la capital. La gente en Kiev ha estado recibiendo electricidad durante sólo unas 10 horas al día. Ucrania, mientras tanto, está intensificando sus propios ataques contra el sector petrolero de Rusia en un esfuerzo por cortar la capacidad de Rusia para financiar la guerra. El mes pasado se produjeron el mayor número de ataques hasta la fecha, realizados principalmente por drones contra refinerías y lugares de almacenamiento en la propia Rusia. Ucrania también ha empezado a atacar petroleros en el Mar Negro utilizando drones marítimos. El presidente ruso Vladimir Putin amenazó con atacar los puertos ucranianos y buques comerciales, así como los buques pertenecientes a los partidarios de Ucrania, si eso continúa. Bueno, la opción más radical es aislar a Ucrania del mar. Pero todo esto es una escalada. Espero que el liderazgo militar ucraniano, el liderazgo político, y los que están detrás de ellos consideren si vale la pena continuar con esta práctica. Ambos bandos intentan golpear al otro lo más fuerte posible, mientras EEUU y Europa preparan diferentes planes de paz, tratando de asegurar los términos más favorables que puedan conseguir.
