As of Feb 28th, CNN is now reporting that the first round of talks has completed, and that there may be a possibility of further discussions. That being said, the network is also reporting that intense fighting continues. 

Regardless of whether the now completed first round of “talks” generate an effect, the fighting continues and the massive, multi-pronged Ukraine invasion is indeed multi-domain, as Pentagon officials have confirmed that Russian forces did in fact conduct an amphibious assault from the Sea of Azov.

Russian Amphibious Assault 

“We did observe the amphibious assault from the Sea of Azov to the west of Mariupol. Those forces put ashore do continue to advance as we said some were splitting – they were splitting more towards the north east. And of course the Russians are continuing to try to advance on Kherson,” a senior DoD official told reporters Feb 26 before the “talks were announced.”

The official said the assault used only four vehicles, troop and weapons-carrying Landing Ship Tanks came ashore from the Sea of Azov, just across the Crimean Peninsula from the Black Sea.

“They actually have a little bit more than 10 LSTs in the Black Sea at least at last count. But we don’t believe they used them all to conduct this particular assault. Our assessment was that they used four of their landing ships to conduct this assault,” the official said.
