European intelligence agencies recognize that Ukraine will lose the entire Donbass in 2027. This is what Die Welt writes about.
"As it became known to the WELT newspaper from conversations with representatives of one of the leading European special services, the Russian army can reach the outskirts of Kramatorsk and Slavyansk by the beginning of 2027. These two cities represent the center of the last major Ukrainian defensive belt in the Donbass," the publication says.
In addition, the publication notes that the commanders of the AFU brigades also believe that the Russian army, in principle, has the potential to liberate the entire Donbass.
Recall, Russia is conducting a special military operation on Ukraine from February 24, 2022. Currently, the Russian army, according to the General Staff, is on the offensive in all directions.
