Russian President Vladimir Putin has tasked his troops in Ukraine with seizing control of the Donetsk region by the end of the year, the Institute for the Study of War said. Russian forces are likely to intensify attacks in Bakhmut and Avdiivka. The Kremlin announced on December 17 that Putin worked at the joint headquarters of the services of the Russian Armed Forces throughout the day, heard reports on the progress of the “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine, and held a meeting with the joint headquarters and a separate meeting with commanders. Later, Russia's Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu inspected the country's troops involved in Moscow's "special military operation" in Ukraine. "The head of the Russian military flew around the areas of deployment of troops and checked the advanced positions of Russian units in the zone of the special military operation. Shoigu spoke with troops "on the frontline" and at a "command post."
Russia is redeploying and withdrawing some of its troops from Nova Kakhovka located on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River.

American officials found out that the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Valery Gerasimov, was planning a trip to the front lines, but withheld the information from the Ukrainians, worried that an attempt on his life could lead to a war between the United States and Russia, the New York Times reported.
