Wednesday media review; Putin will strike again; The president wants an army expansion

**Antoni Rybczyński: Gazeta Polska:“The last offensive of Putin”**
"Russia is preparing an offensive on respective fronts, hoping for a breakthrough that will avoid peace talks. Its objectives stay unchanged: full control of 4 circuits in the south of Ukraine and the creation of a buffer region in the northeast. The Russians made advancement in Donbasa, especially in the Pokrowska and IConstantinówka region, threatening key Ukrainian positions. The Kremlin is besides considering the offensive from Kursk and Sum to take up easier targets and replace them with strategical territories. In the northeast, a 10 km buffer region is created – Russia truly wants to take more. Sumas are the main target, but so far Russian forces are not adequate to conquer the city.”
