Rusija vs. Ukrajina aka. "Putin - še sladkih 16 let na oblasti?"

We now have further confirmations regarding ukrainian 🇺🇦 counter-attacks near Pokrovsk'e

After weeks of mechanized assaults under strict OPSEC, we now have additionnal informations. Ukrainian forces didn't only push into the grey zone but also few kilometers behind it, into territories under russian control since october.

Ukrainian forces took back control of most of the 2024 defensive line, which lies 12km south of Pokrovsk'e, the regional hub. Some videos of russian strikes on ukrainian armoured vehicles happened furthur south of the line, especially south of Verbove (here : 47.836979,36.374613) or in Berezove (47.873421, 36.510356).

Again, this doesn't mean Ukraine controls these areas, since we do not have enough proofs to say that. However, we can at least be sure that most of the grey zone between the Vovocha river and the defensive line has been cleared. The images that we are seing are probably few days old so we shouldn't jumlp to any conclusion. These days, Russia reinforced Uspenivka and Temyrivka.

This progress into grey zone and russian controled territory will probably allow ukrainian engineering forces to further reinforce the Pokrovsk'e defensive line, especially on the Ternuvate-Pokrovsk'e road. This town is highly strategic and must hold to avoid any spread of the russian offensive further in Dnipropetrovsk oblast, especially in Vassylivka and Pavlohrad directions.

However, if the situation significantly improved for Pokrovsk'e, the situation west of Hulialpole is getting more difficult. They grey zone is expanding and russian troops are now often seen inside Zaliznychne. This, added to my recent airstrike/artillery impacts analysis proves that Russia is willing to push behind the strategic town of Orikhiv this year, while Ukraine is trying to slow down the russians in the Zaporizhzhia direction. I guess they believe Orikhiv will be lost one day, this is the reason why they are mainly digging behind.

Rusko zunanje ministrstvo je danes opozorilo, da je napad na Iran nevaren in bi lahko sprožil katastrofo. "Washington in Tel Aviv sta se znova podala na nevarno pustolovščino, ki regijo hitro pripelje na rob humanitarne, gospodarske in - tega ni mogoče izključiti - radiološke katastrofe," je opozorilo rusko zunanje ministrstvo.

"Nameni agresorjev so jasni in odkrito izraženi: uničiti ustavni red in strmoglaviti vlado države, ki se jim zdi nezaželena in ki se ni hotela podrediti diktatu sile in hegemonizma," so dodali.

Russia expected to capture Kyiv in 3 days. Four years later, Ukraine is still standing.

In February 2022, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine believing the government would collapse within hours. A premature “victory” article published by Russian state media revealed just how confident the Kremlin was. Instead, Ukrainian resistance stopped the assault on Kyiv, destroyed the 64 km convoy, and defended Hostomel Airport in the opening days of the war.

How the Battle of Kyiv changed the war
The sinking of the Moskva and the collapse of Black Sea dominance
Ukraine’s Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives
Operation Spiderweb and long-range strikes inside Russia
Russian war crimes in Bucha and the bombing of the Mariupol theater
Kremlin disinformation about “biolabs,” “Nazi state,” NATO proxy war claims, and Zelenskyy fleeing
How Ukraine and its Western allies countered Russian information warfare


The war did not end in days. It reshaped Europe, expanded NATO, and transformed modern warfare through drones, open-source intelligence, and information resilience.

Four years into the invasion, as battlefield momentum slows, Russia increasingly targets Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilians, while Ukraine continues adapting in both conventional and information warfare.
