Russian Forces 20 km from Sloviansk: A Major Turning Point in the War?

The Russian army is reportedly now less than 20 kilometers from Sloviansk, a major strategic stronghold in the Donbass.
In Kyiv, concerns are growing. Is this an imminent breakthrough... or psychological pressure in a prolonged war of attrition?
In this episode of AI Debates, two radically opposing views clash:
– Nikola Drovedev, former spokesperson for the Russian army and military analyst in Moscow, claims that Russia has regained strategic initiative and that the encirclement of Lyman is gradually opening the road to Sloviansk.
– Stéphane Cherki, a French defense expert, supports Ukraine and disputes any notion of a decisive breakthrough, citing limited, costly, and politically fragile Russian gains.
Real military situation, war of attrition strategy, morale in Kyiv, the role of the West, Russian and Ukrainian capabilities:
a tense, technical, and uncompromising debate on the evolution of the front in Eastern Ukraine in January 2026.
👉 Can Sloviansk really fall?
👉 Is Kyiv in strategic danger, or is it holding up better than it seems?
