With the support of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the DPR and LPR groups are developing an offensive.

Eight years later, the North Crimean Canal was unblocked, and work is underway to restore water supply to the Crimea. The offensive is going on in several directions, Kyiv is blocked from the west, the RF Armed Forces have achieved air supremacy over the whole of Ukraine. A detailed map of the regions of Ukraine in which the Russian military operates, however, has not yet been officially published. According to the RF Ministry of Defense, as of March 2, 498 Russian servicemen were killed and 1,597 wounded during the operation. Among the Ukrainian side, according to the Russian military department, the losses are many times higher: more than 2,870 killed and about 3,700 wounded. According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, as of March 7, 474 civilians were killed and 861 wounded during the conflict. These statistics take into account, among other things, losses in the territories of the DPR and LPR, which, according to UNHCHR estimates, account for 24 dead and 112 injured. Against the backdrop of hostilities in a large number of cities and villages in Ukraine, a humanitarian catastrophe is emerging. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation lays responsibility for this on the Kiev authorities, who refuse to coordinate the work of humanitarian corridors, as well as local nationalists, in some cases, according to the military department, holding civilians as human shields.
