Is the war in Ukraine entering a critical stage or a new phase?

Will attacks on border regions, civilian casualties and drone strikes bring a major change in the direction of the war?

New fronts are developing in the war in Ukraine.

Armed anti-Kremlin groups carry out attacks in border regions, while drone and artillery attacks continue further into Russian territory.

Civilians in both countries are suffering as the war drags on.

Do the latest military developments indicate that the war has reached a critical phase? Or is it just a new phase, the end of which is not yet in sight?
