Retired U.S. Army General Wesley Clark identified Russia’s three primary strategic directions in the ongoing conflict. The first is a campaign to demoralize Ukrainians and cripple Ukraine’s war economy through relentless air attacks and targeting of military production. Secondly, Russia aims to breach Ukrainian defenses and seize additional territory, with a long-term goal of controlling Odesa and the Black Sea coast. Finally, Russia is attempting to intimidate NATO and stretch its resources while deterring Western intervention by demonstrating its nuclear capabilities.
