It's been a month since Russia invaded Ukraine. They have not had much success during this period. Therefore, they appear to have shifted the focus of this action, focusing on a limited segment. The Donbas division comprises the two provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk. Russia's defense ministry has claimed that 93 percent of Luhansk and 93 percent of Dantesk have Russian-backed separatists.

Russia's senior military official, Sergei Rudskoi, has said that the goal is to liberate Donbas. Meanwhile, according to a British report, Ukrainian forces are succeeding in recapturing the eastern suburbs of Kyiv.
