Russian troops are ratcheting up their efforts to secure full control of the entire Donbas area in eastern Ukraine - and from what we have witnessed, there's very little which is going to stop them right now. A huge chunk of the industrial heartland has already fallen to the Russian military, allowing President Vladimir Putin to declare a significant victory after his troops seized the Luhansk region with the capture of the city of Lysychansk, the last Ukrainian stronghold there. The Russians already control most of Donetsk, the second half of the Donbas, and the signs are they are moving to claim the rest of it.
