The offensive, which took Russia by surprise more than a week ago, has seen Ukrainian forces take control of dozens of villages across a wide area and with limited resistance. It remains unclear what the ultimate objective of the operation may be but analysts say it demonstrates to Ukraine’s western allies its commitment to keep fighting. Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports. Pavel Felgenhauer, the defence analyst and columnist at Novaya Gazeta, says the Kremlin is in “a bit of a dilemma” over what to do next. He added […]

In an interview with Al Jazeera, Andrei Federov, a former Russian deputy foreign minister, described Ukraine’s incursion as a significant pressure tactic against Russia. He termed it a “shock” rather than an intelligence failure, attributing it to the extensive border with Ukraine and vulnerabilities exploited by Ukrainian forces. Federov added […]

Russia’s RIA state news agency says the West stands to lose assets worth at least 288 billion dollars, if frozen Russian assets are confiscated.

But Russia reaffirmed on Sunday that counter-measures could follow what it calls “western thievery”. According to the RIA, the top investors in the Russian economy include Cyprus, with more than 98 billion dollars, the Netherlands with 50 billion and the UK with nearly 19 billion.
