Armenian political analyst Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan, who heads the Voskanapat Analytical Center, has shared a map of Ukraine's military infrastructure targeted by Russian forces.

“Do you know what else this map tells us about? It indicates that even large countries like Ukraine are completely transformed into a front in modern wars,” he wrote on Telegram on Thursday.

“In this regard, I am convinced again that in case of a properly organized war, the settlement of the Artsakh issue may be a matter of just a few days for us. The same goes for them [Azerbaijan]. We should be well aware of it and be ready as well,” he noted.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address on Thursday morning that in response to a request by the heads of the Donbass republics he had made a decision to carry out a special military operation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky introduced martial law across the country.
