War in Ukraine: current situation
Since the beginning of 2025, the situation at the front in Ukraine has undergone significant changes. Russian troops have stepped up their offensive, especially in Donbas, which has led to the loss of some settlements. These events were the result of intense attacks by enemy infantry.
In response to these threats, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are strengthening their defense and mobilizing additional resources. However, problems with mobilization and cases of CBRN complicate the process of replenishment. The tactical actions of Russian troops, despite their limited effectiveness in other regions, are forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat in some areas of the front.
In addition, the Russian army continues to receive military support from North Korea, which helps to strengthen its combat capabilities. However, the possibility of turning these tactical successes into a strategic advantage remains uncertain.
It is also worth noting that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not expect a shortage of weapons in the short term, which indicates the enemy’s intention to continue fighting in Ukraine.
