Russia intends to maintain checkpoints between the Russian Federation and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine for security reasons. This is stated in the report of the ISW Institute for the Study of War.
Roadblocks at checkpoints significantly slow down the supply of Russian ammunition to the front line in the Donetsk region, but the Russian Federation has no intention of abandoning them.
According to the report, Russian military correspondents say that the roadblocks are significantly slowing the supply of Russian ammunition to the front line in the Donetsk region.
