In the short term, the Russian troops are less likely to achieve a major breakthrough in Donbas and on other fronts, but the scenario of gradual territorial gains is in place. According to the top U.S. Intelligence official, it is very unlikely that the Ukrainian forces would retake the occupied territories, Reuters reports.
