According to sources from the European Union, NATO and the United States, Moscow has already exhausted almost all of its military potential.

"Federal authorities have ordered local governors to take action to fill the gaps in manpower and equipment," the US news agency said.

According to media sources: It is very likely that the Kremlin will reduce the intensity of active hostilities.

It is also possible that Russia will put its special operation (as Moscow calls its aggression in Ukraine) on pause so that it can regroup its forces for a larger offensive.

"Putin will probably be forced to announce a general mobilization in another month. If the president takes such a step, it will be a signal that the operation is lame," Bloomberg said.

The media noted that the Kyiv forces give about 100 victims a day and retreat to the eastern cities of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk.

"If these two cities fall, Moscow and pro-Russian separatists will achieve one of the goals set at the beginning of the war (February 24th) - to establish full control over the Luhansk region," the agency added.

"At the same time, Russian forces are advancing slowly. This is due to the low morale among soldiers and officers, the resistance of Ukrainian citizens and the supply of weapons, ammunition and equipment to Kyiv forces," Bloomberg added.
