Russia plans to cut Ukraine off from the Black Sea in 2026: which regions are at risk of occupation.

Moscow is actively preparing for war and plans to expand its presence in eastern Ukraine. This has caused serious outrage among Ukrainian officials. Deputy Head of the President's Office Pavlo Palysi emphasized that Russia shows no intentions of peace but is preparing for conflict.

«Unfortunately, they are not talking about peace. They are preparing for war», Palysi emphasized.

Palysi also noted that Russia plans to occupy the entire eastern part of Ukraine and threatens Ukrainian grain exports through the Black Sea. Experts warn of a possible escalation of the conflict and call for a diplomatic resolution of the situation.

Pressure on Ukraine and forecasts

Analysts believe that Russia will try to increase pressure on Ukraine during the summer offensive but may face difficulties maintaining such a strategy until 2026. The ongoing conflict, which has lasted for 1198 days, may escalate due to the aggressive actions of Russian troops against Ukraine.

Russia's plans to expand its presence in eastern Ukraine pose a serious threat to national security and peace in the region. The readiness for war on the part of the Russian Federation requires attention and action from the international community to avoid catastrophic scenarios.

Ukraine and its international partners must work together to strengthen defense capabilities and pursue a diplomatic settlement of the conflict to ensure peace and stability in the region.
