“Do you expect it to continue? Among which lines?”

Well, Russia just rolled the Guards tanks into the Donbass. Problems is that the separatists only control half of the Donbass and the Ukraine military holds the other half.

I would expect the usual artillery duels and a possible escalation from invasion into war. Could be a battle in Donbass or Putin can use pretext to move into greater Ukraine. If he is smart he’ll keep it in Donbass. We will see how smart he is.

“Trump wouldn’t have placed himself in such a silly situation”

Trump initiated the first lethal weapons, Javelins, into Ukraine, so he recognized some US interest in the region.

With all the inexperience, Trump understood full well what the place was. The anti-Trump campaign was practically spearheaded from Kiev, he only paid lip service to them for political reasons.
The shelling stopped yesterday. It is one thing to lie that you are fighting with the Russian army and the real thing is another.
