Reporting from Ukraine

With over 10,000 tanks and 21,000 armored vehicles destroyed, Russian troops rely on Soviet-era civilian vehicles instead of military transport across the frontline, signaling a critical deterioration in Russian combat capabilities.

With a growing fleet of F-16 fighter jets, Ukraine is shifting its military strategy from defense to attack.

Ukrainian forces methodically eliminated the protective network of Pantsirs, S-300s, and electronic warfare systems to create corridors for strikes on strategic power plants and oil refineries across Russia.

By targeting Shevchenko, Russia’s last stronghold on the high ground, they cut off Russian supply lines for the Pokrovsk offensive.

Russian forces attempted to advance toward the regional capital, Zaporizhzhia, aiming to position their artillery within range of the city, threatening its 700,000 residents.

The strategic Tuapse facility, capable of processing 12 million tons of oil annually, continued burning uncontrollably despite extensive firefighting efforts.

Thousands of foreign soldiers have joined Ukraine’s defense, spurred by frustration over US policy shift towards Russia.

The counteroffensive at Kotlyne, Pischane, and Uspenivka employed mechanized assault units in quick thunder-run tactics, targeting weak points in Russian lines and fragmenting their defensive positions.

Gen. Mykhailo Drapatyi’s appointment in Donetsk's Pokrovsk sector proves pivotal, as logistics-focused strikes, reinforced brigades, and fortified positions decimate Russian forces.

Russian banks can no longer process international energy transactions, endangering the Kremlin's primary war funding mechanism. The expiration of a key exemption also triggers secondary sanctions risk for any nation trading with Moscow.

Months of intelligence gathering, sabotage missions, and drone development have paid off—Ukraine is now striking deep into Russia’s industrial and military core.

337 Ukrainian drones hit Russia, targeting Moscow’s largest oil depot and key infrastructure sites in other regions.

Under sustained Russian fire, Ukrainian forces in Kursk are executing a controlled withdrawal—one of the most complex battlefield maneuvers.

To counter Ukraine’s Kursk maneuver, Russia shifted key forces, stalling its Donbas offensive.
