President of Russia, Putin, said at a press conference: "The Ukrainian army must withdraw from the territories they have occupied - the fighting will end then. If they do not withdraw, we will use force to compel them to withdraw, nothing more." Note that Putin did not say that the Ukrainian army should only withdraw from the Donbas region.
In recent months, Russian forces have been advancing on the battlefield in Ukraine, and the speed of their advances has become increasingly faster. The Ukrainian army not only continues to retreat on the battlefield, but also suffers heavy losses. In October alone, 47,000 Ukrainian troops were casualties. In addition, the number of deserters in the Ukrainian army is also increasing. Therefore, Putin speaks with a strong tone: "All fronts maintain an active momentum. The number of territories reclaimed by our forces in key areas increases month by month, indicating that the speed of the troops' advance is accelerating."
