Major General Araldinov, Deputy Director of the Russian Political Directorate, said on the front line on the 15th in an interview with Phoenix TV that the Russian military has established at least eight salients, either already or being established, to gain and maintain strategic advantages, so the initiative in negotiations is in the hands of Russia.
On the 15th, Araldinov, Deputy Director of the Russian Political Directorate, stated that in February and March 2025, the Russian military strengthened offensive operations across the entire theater of war, and for the past six months, has maintained pressure along the entire frontline. Currently, the Russian military has established or is in the process of establishing at least eight salients. The Russian military can use these salients to reinforce interactions at the tactical and operational levels along the front line.
Araldinov stated that there is no temporal correlation between military and political diplomacy. The Russian military command has its own operational plan, and Americans have never been friends of Russians, neither in the past nor now.
Deputy Director of the Russian Political Directorate Araldinov:
We will accept any negotiations? What are the conditions for these negotiations? All of this is decided by Russia. Today, Russia is advancing towards Donetsk, conducting several settlement operations daily, the direction is here, the Russian army is moving here, the enemy has concentrated their main combat resources, they have suffered huge losses, and they cannot advance here either. Therefore, the conditions will be decided by Russia, even peace will be based only on Russia's conditions.
Currently, the Russian military is building a target to encircle the southern and eastern wings of the new Pavlivka, which also indicates that the Russian military's parallel advancement tactics have spread along the front line, rather than focusing on a single area.
The Russian military currently mainly relies on infantry groups composed of contract soldiers for parallel advances and elite units for breakthroughs. Due to the tactical guidance, the Russian military has not been able to use faster mechanized mobility capabilities, which also indicates the bottleneck constraints on the Russian military's manpower and equipment. This cycle also occurs within the Ukrainian army.
