Reminder
Russia has again postponed the "deadline" for capturing Donetsk region — now the final deadline is set for December 31. Ukraine has repeatedly offered Russia to hold negotiations on ending the war, but Russia refuses. Therefore, as many obstacles as possible are needed to discourage the desire to continue fighting.
