The situation in Ukraine and Russia’s Donbass region is complex and rapidly evolving. Here’s a summary of the current frontlines and military movements. In the Kursk region, Ukrainian forces have made significant gains, capturing a large part of Russian territory and holding their ground. However, there are some static areas where Russian forces are not making significant advances. The Ukrainians are close to taking control of the entire region south of the Sejm River, and their expansion has slowed down since the initial weeks. The front line has stabilized in most areas, except for the Donetsk region.

In Donetsk, the Russian forces are making advances, particularly in the city of Pokrovske, where they have made significant gains, with some reports suggesting they may soon reach the city. This has been a significant focus of the Russian summer offensive, with their forces concentrated in this area. The Ukrainians are conducting defensive operations, and while they may be losing ground in some areas, they are still able to counter-attack and push back against Russian forces.

Despite the gains made by Russian forces, the war is far from over. There are still many areas where Ukrainian forces are yet to be defeated, and the conflict is likely to continue for some time. It’s also important to note that taking control of the Donetsk region does not necessarily mean the war is won, as the conflict will simply shift to other areas and the war will continue.

Aerial campaigns are also playing a significant role in the conflict, with both sides conducting air raids. Ukraine has recently introduced new drones and missiles, which have been effective in targeting Russian air bases and oil facilities, creating significant problems for the Russian military. This has led to a growing pressure on the US to provide Ukraine with Western weapons to use against Russia, which could make a significant difference.
