Brigadier General Oleksiy Gromov, deputy head of the Main Operations Department of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, told reporters at a press conference on June 2 that officials assessed Russia would target infrastructure civilian floors and military facilities.

Gromov said Russia is seeking to speed up the fighting in southern Ukraine – where it has made only slow progress – to establish a land bridge connecting western Russia with the separatist region. Kremlin-backed in Moldova is called Transnistria.

Accordingly, Russia is increasing its offensive intensity and focusing on gaining complete control over eastern and southern Ukraine.

Although the fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine has been largely fought with heavy artillery, a ground attack has also been launched in the Luhansk region, where Russian forces are trying to gain control.

If Russian forces can gain control of Luhansk, they will easily advance west into Donetsk along with other parts of Ukraine.
