Reporting from Ukraine

With armored vehicles in short supply, Russia is sending infantry into battle in civilian vans — and they’re being stopped by basic Ukrainian defenses.

By striking a fragile foothold across the river, Ukraine is moving to derail Russia’s plan to turn scattered gains into a single assault axis.

Ukrainian intelligence has uncovered Russia's modern version of barrier troops - using drones to execute their own retreating soldiers near Torske, as commanders sacrifice waves of poorly-trained conscripts in an increasingly desperate bid to capture northern Donetsk Oblast.

In Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk directions where General Mykhailo Drapatyi coordinates defense, Ukraine increased combat effectiveness and crippled Russian artillery.

Russian commanders deployed three separate waves of armor over a four-hour period on 7th April, losing approximately 17 vehicles and 40 personnel while failing to advance beyond the first Ukrainian minefield.

Moscow's peace negotiators add new demands for Ukraine while their commanders quietly position a massive combat-ready force for a decisive spring offensive before any US-forced ceasefire or sanctions.

Bilohorivka stands firm after two years of Russian attempts, as Ukrainians adapted the chalk quarry for strategic defense.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy points to Russian strikes as evidence of Moscow's disinterest in peace negotiations, while the Kremlin claims Ukraine violated the agreement first, however, incident evidence suggests it was self-inflicted.

Ukrainian drone strikes have taken a significant toll, halting 15% of Russia’s oil refining capacity, and recovery is in question due to sanctions.

Ukrainian forces maintain fire control over Bilohorivka from advantageous high ground positions, forcing Russian commanders to deploy increasingly desperate infantry tactics while artillery and drone strikes decimate their advancing troops.

Russia’s failure in Sumy reveals the strain on its reserves, hindering further advances.

Pyongyang sends thousands more soldiers to fight alongside Russia in Kursk Oblast, which triggered an urgent Western response, with US-South Korea joint military exercises specifically targeting North Korean tunnel warfare techniques.

Ukrainian mechanized forces are making swift advances in the Kupiansk sector, executing flanking maneuvers to destabilize Russian defenses with the support of BTR-4E Bucephalus APCs.

Azov Brigade specialists methodically extract Russian soldiers from underground hideouts where they had been living since winter.
