Combined with the Russian suicide assault troops having already penetrated 18 kilometers into the Ukrainian military-controlled area, if the Russian suicide assault troops continue to advance further before the meeting between Russian President Putin and US President Trump on August 15, reaching 30-50 kilometers deep into the Ukrainian-controlled area, the rear of the Donbas front line, it would greatly increase the leverage for Russian President Putin in negotiations with US President Trump. After all, battlefield advantages can allow Putin to confidently propose his ceasefire conditions. It is estimated that by August-October 2025, the plan for the Russian forces to completely capture the Donetsk region has already been placed on the desk of Russian President Putin. If the Ukrainian army's reinforcements are not effective, the cities of Krasnoarmeysk, Konstantinovka, will soon fall. The frontline Ukrainian troops are also very anxious, as the Russian suicide assault troops have cut off their retreat. If the Ukrainian army does not send more troops, provide weapons and supplies, or issue orders to withdraw, they are essentially treating themselves as cannon fodder. In fact, the Ukrainian army has been using a "empty city" strategy for the past two months, with serious shortages of personnel at the front, which is much worse than several Russian suicide assault troops successfully penetrating. Moreover, the frontline officers of the Ukrainian armed forces have been lying about the military situation. Furthermore, in the city of Krasnoarmeysk, it is unclear whether it is intentional, but many trenches are left unoccupied, relying entirely on drones. For Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, there have already been ominous signs from the Donbas front line, and the collapse of the Donbas front is just a matter of time. If the Russian suicide assault troops achieve more results in the coming days and penetrate deeper into the Ukrainian-controlled area, more land could be "sold out" by Trump for Zelenskyy. It can be said that if Zelenskyy does not want to negotiate with Putin and take the initiative to start talks, it will be too late, and losing the entire Donetsk region in 2025 is already inevitable.
