I’ve already answered, though. Russia is working on wearing down Ukraine’s arms and forces in a war of attrition, spreading them thinner and thinner and advancing slowly and thoroughly.
I quite literally answered it in the same comment you’re replying to:

War is not “take XYZ land and then you’ve got it,” it’s a battle between two powers. Even if your goal is to annex certain territory, in this case the four Oblasts that Russia has made clear it intends in taking, taking land outside of the four Oblasts weakens Ukraine’s ability to launch counteroffensives and stage troops. It does not mean Russia will keep every bit of land they take. Further, it also gives Russia leverage in treaties.
This is incredibly simple and I’m astounded that you’re making me repeat this in ever-simpler terms.
I’ll dumb it down for you. The question you are asked is a yes/no type of question.
The question is: Is Zaporizhzha and Kherson part of Donbass.
You have choice:
Yes, Zaporizhzha and Kherson are Donbass.
No, Zaporizhzha and Kherson are not Donbass
If you only can show where you gave one of those answers, I will concede. Not your strategic vision of how to wage a genocidal war, just a single question.
They are usually considered to be in the Donbass region, yes. Your question has no relevance beyond the context of Russia’s strategy, don’t play ignorant.

Show me where you answered the specific question please. Is Kherson and Zaporizhzha part of Donbass?

Jesus, that’s some denialism. Yes or no is a simple answer yet you go at chatgp lengths to avoid it.
What? I answered you numerous times, directly, in ever-simpler terms. That’s not “chatGPT length,” it’s a single paragraph of explanation.
