Russia plans to enter Dnipropetrovsk region to have a 'trump card' - CNN.


Russian troops are seeking to advance to the Dnipropetrovsk region, fulfilling one of their main objectives. This has great symbolic significance as it will be the first partial occupation of the region since the Russian invasion three years ago. According to the Ukrainian mapping service DeepState, Russian troops are stationed six kilometers from the border of the region. Residents of the border areas have already started evacuating according to local authorities.
Control over part of Dnipropetrovsk can have significant implications for Vladimir Putin and American negotiators, as this region could be used in future diplomatic processes. The Russian Federation is also employing a new tactic of shelling Kharkiv using drones. Russian troops attack one area with a large number of strikes over a short period, creating a new threat. These attacks are aimed at civilian facilities and industrial buildings. In Dnipro, there has also been a shelling of a warehouse for napkins and diapers with rockets, which is a form of terror. This has prompted the initiation of a preliminary investigation.
The attack of Russian troops on Dnipropetrovsk can have important strategic significance and be used in future diplomatic negotiations. Furthermore, the Russian Federation is using a new tactic of shelling Kharkiv with drones, causing damage to civilian facilities and industrial structures.
