Russia planning to take all of Donbas, pave corridor to Crimea — NATO head
Russia plans to militarily take the “entire” Donbas region in eastern Ukraine with the aim of creating a corridor from Russia to annexed Crimea, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says.
Russian forces are moving away from Kyiv to “regroup, re-arm and resupply and they shift their focus to the east,” he tells a media conference ahead of a Wednesday meeting of NATO foreign ministers.
“In the coming weeks, we expect a further Russian push in the eastern and southern Ukraine to try to take the entire Donbas and to create a land bridge to occupied Crimea,” he says.
