What is the picture on the Russian-Ukrainian war front? RIA Novosti has published a map showing the combat situation and troop deployment as of July 21.

It is worth recalling that on February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the start of a 'special military operation' in Ukraine. He added that the ultimate goal of the operation is 'to liberate Donbas, to protect those people, and to create conditions that will guarantee Russia's security.'
