Russia's Extended War Plans in Ukraine: Analysis and Assessment

Russia reportedly has new and extended war plans in Ukraine, aiming to occupy Ukrainian territory beyond the four illegally annexed oblasts throughout 2024-2026, according to a report by German outlet BILD. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) stated that these plans align with Russia's efforts for a prolonged conflict with Ukraine. The ISW noted that Russia's military command is restructuring and expanding its forces to form strategic reserves, while gradually mobilizing its defense-industrial base. The plans, which include occupying Donetsk, Luhansk, and advancing to the Oskil River in Kharkiv oblast, are seen as plausible given Russian President Vladimir Putin's recent expansionist rhetoric and ongoing offensive operations. Both Russia and Ukraine have reported numerous attempted drone attacks, and Hungary recently vetoed EU funding to Ukraine.
