According to our data, in April the net gains of the Russian armed forces were approximately 94km². Russian offensive attempts continue to struggle, while the frontline on the southern front has largely consolidated after the Hulijaipole offensive of February and March. 1/

Since the start of the year, Ukraine 🇺🇦 dug more than 1 250 km of defenses in the rear areas of the frontline The "kill zone grid" around the New Donbas Line is quickly expanding. Here is what you need to know and a detailed geographic analysis : 🧵THREAD🧵1/20 ⬇️

🇷🇺 ORBAT – Hulyaipole Following Ukrainian reinforcements in the area, Russian forces redeployed units from Pokrovsk to Hulyaipole, likely in an attempt to maintain offensive tempo in southern Zaporizhzhia. x.com/WarUnitObserve…

🇺🇦Ukrainian counterattacks on the southern front - the wider perspective Between the end of January and the beginning of February, Ukrainian forces began a series of counterattacks aimed at the south-eastern corner of the frontline - split between the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro oblasts. This area recorded the deepest 🇷🇺Russian advances in late 2025, but the low force density generated by the infiltration tactics used seems to be an exploitable weakness. The Russian 🇷🇺“Vostok” Grouping faces several 🇺🇦Ukrainian assault regiments along with the 🇺🇦82nd and 95th Air Assault brigades, redeployed from Pokrovsk in late January for the occasion. Given most of this information has been published by various other sources, we set out to provide a longer perspective on the often neglected and forgotten south-eastern corner of the frontline.

In February, the Russian monthly net gains in Ukraine turned negative. Over the whole month, the Russians lost 37 km² of territory in Ukraine. This is the first net loss since November of 2023, and the worst month for Russia in terms of territory since August of 2023. 1/

The latest Ukrainian counterattack has drawn significant attention. The Ukrainians have claimed to liberate over 400 km². There’s some sensationalism in the information space, as there seems to be some misunderstanding of what a liberated square kilometer here actually means. 1/

Over the month of December the Russian Armed Forces occupied a total of 347km² of Ukrainian territory. This brings the Russian total gains within Ukraine to 4580km² for the whole year of 2025. This is 31% more territory compared to 2024. With Kursk included, around 20% 1/

2025 can reasonably be seen as an operational and strategic failure for Russia, but all scenarios remain on the table. Any optimism is premature, as Ukraine also faces serious challenges. In this thread: An assessment of the past year and its broader implications. 1/

📊85 people per sq. km. We tried to calculate the price paid by 🇷🇺 for advance in 🇺🇦 and how these figures differ from last year's. Spoiler: the correlation between 🇷🇺's growth in advance and its losses has become less noticeable, but the scale of the losses remains the same.

Russian Invasion of Ukraine: Key Summary 2025 In December 2024 we said two things that upset people: - There's plenty of war left - We hope Russia advances 4000 square kilometers (Hold your outrage) We'll be covering in this thread 🧵on what that meant in 2025, and beyond

Given Rochan's close monitoring of military developments in Belarus, this is our assessment. There are no indications that such a large-scale redeployment has taken place. We continue to assess that the current Russian troop presence in Belarus numbers in the low thousands and is primarily associated with long-standing Russian military facilities, including the Vileyka Naval Communications Centre (43rd Communications Centre) and the 474th Independent Radio-Technical Unit near Baranovichi. Additional personnel may have been deployed to support Belarusian efforts to establish logistics and storage facilities for Oreshnik IRBMs. Given the ongoing war in Ukraine, the Russian Federation does not have the capacity to deploy a force of this magnitude to Belarus.

Russia has deployed 360,000 troops in Belarus, directly along the NATO border. Europe is facing a critical threat of war with Russia, Bild reports.

New article “By necessity, not by desire” is now available on our Substack. It examines the ongoing peace discussions not through legal or moral frameworks, but through the one metric that is likely to shape settlement in this war: power. /1

The key issue in the current condrum is that there never have been any real Western, least of all European, strategy for the war, even after nearly 4 years, despite all the speeches and "as long as it takes" statements.

A few broad observations on the course of war, based on observations, discussions with officers, soldiers, and analysts, data, and other relevant sources. I will begin with a high-level sociopolitical overview before gradually moving toward operational-tactical level. 🧵Thread:
