After a brief pause earlier in the year, Ukraine again faces difficult weeks ahead.
May 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
Russia’s strategy is one of cumulative attrition: continuous pressure through relentless missile/drone attacks very often aimed at civilian populations, sustained troop replacements enabled by ongoing recruitment, and increased production of precision munitions.
May 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
For missiles, there are no easy fixes. Russia is producing a lot more long-range precision missiles than the West is producing interceptors.
May 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
High-precision missile usage has surged to unprecedented levels, while drone deployments in early 2025 reached record highs. Ukraine needs cheaper solutions, especially for the Shahed-type threat.
May 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
Ukraine is also facing increased missile and drone strikes, including cruise and ballistic missiles and Shahed-type drones, aimed at overwhelming air defences. The reported shortage of PAC-3 interceptors further exacerbates the challenge.

Paradoxically, these territorial gains coincide with a reported overall reduction in Russian ground offensive operations across the front, including near Pokrovsk and Toretsk. This raises the question: Why is Russian forward momentum accelerating amid diminished ground attack activity?
May 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
From a terrain perspective, movement from Novooolenivka toward Stepaniva affords the Russians dominant ground, enabling fire control over approaches to Konstantynivka and interdiction of Ukrainian reinforcement routes from Druzkivka.

The rapid pace of the eastern push risks outflanking Ukrainian defensive lines and denies time for construction of new fortifications. Should Russian forces secure a breakthrough near Rusyn Yar, it would constitute a critical tactical gain, severely degrading Ukrainian defensive depth.
May 26, 2025 at 6:45 AM
- The eastern axis from Chasiv Yar has seen limited gains over months;

- The southern axis via Toretsk is currently contested;

- The eastern flank, which has gained operational momentum and now threatens Ukrainian rear areas, complicating sustainment and force disposition.

Russian forces are advancing along three primary axes toward Konstantynivka:

Although this line has long ceased to serve as a reliable GLOC, the tempo and vectors of Russian advances northward remain concerning. (Orange colour is fortifications - made by Twitter user @Playfra0)
