1/ Ukrainian forces have carried out 12 precision strikes on Russian railway infrastructure in recent weeks, mainly in the south. These attacks disrupted key junctions and slowed military cargo flows to Crimea, Donbas, and the North Caucasus, Conflict Capital reports. t.me/conflictcapi...
Slava Ukraini!
2/ Analysts at Conflict Capital note that Russian forces failed to achieve strategic gains this summer, but several threats remain. The northern front near Kharkiv is stable, with Russian attacks repelled and the enemy focused on holding ground and exhausting Ukrainian units.
That's interesting. From a distance, Kupyansk looks a bit precarious. I'm not sure I characterize the area north of Lyman as stable either.
3/ From Siversk to Pokrovsk, Russia relies on massed artillery and small assault groups. Fighting near Rodynske is key, as Russian forces try to pressure Ukrainian logistics and avoid direct urban combat.
4/ In the Kostiantynivka area, Russian troops attempt to cut off Toretsk’s supply routes by attacking from multiple directions and seizing key heights for FPV drone deployment.
4/ In the Serebrianske Forest, Russian units increasingly use small infiltration groups to probe weak points, achieving limited advances and threatening rear areas.
5/ The southern front remains the most dynamic, with Russia holding defensive lines in Zaporizhzhia but moving reserves near Berdyansk and Mariupol. In Kherson, both sides fight for control of river islands and crossing points.
6/ Analysts emphasize that the situation remains tense across all sectors, with Russia seeking any opportunity for a breakthrough to exploit Ukrainian defenses.
