As the war in Ukraine enters its second phase, the looming battle for Donbas could prove decisive for both sides.

“For us, the battle for Donbas is very important,” Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy told CNN in an interview on Sunday. “It is important for different reasons, for the reason of safety, first of all. Our grouping located in Donbas is one of the best military we have. It's a large grouping and Russia wants to encircle them and destroy them,” he said. "This battle—and it can happen, so there will be several battles and we don't know how long it is going to take—can influence the course of the whole war,” Zelenskyy added.
