A little background: The fighting has gotten more intense in the southern part of Ukraine due to the fact that recently-supplied US weapons have increased Ukraine's capability to take down Russian targets, creating new problems for Moscow.

In the last month, there were massive explosions in occupied areas of regions like Donetsk, Luhansk, Zapori zhzhia and Kherson regions. The evidence available, based on satellite images as well as Western analysts, shows that the targeted attacks have been extremely efficient.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that as the West continues to provide Ukraine in the form of more high-range weapons such as the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) the goals of the Kremlin's geographic objectives in Ukraine will be extended beyond Ukraine's eastern Donbas region to the country's southern region.
