Russia Expands War Aims: Buffer Zones, Cyber Attacks
Russia is expanding its war strategy, focusing on creating 'buffer zones' along its border and intensifying drone strikes within Russia. Ukraine counters by targeting key Russian energy infrastructure, including a major oil terminal in Crimea. The conflict's geography is widening with threats toward Moldova's Transnistria region and the Baltic states, alongside cyber operations disrupting Russian networks. Diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire face significant hurdles due to differing demands.
