Russian forces pressed attacks in the Pokrovsk direction on February 11, conducting approximately 30 assaults near settlements like Rodynske, Kotlyne, and Udachne, but achieved no territorial gains according to the Institute for the Study of War. Ukrainian units, including artillery and special forces brigades, maintained defensive positions amid reports of 108 total clashes along the frontline. Overnight into February 12, Russia executed a large-scale attack with drones and ballistic missiles on energy facilities, injuring at least seven and causing widespread blackouts affecting over 100,000 families.
In Syria, U.S. military completed its pullout from Al-Tanf garrison near the Iraqi and Jordanian borders on February 12, transferring the site—a key hub for counter-ISIS operations and monitoring Iranian supply lines—to Syrian regime forces. This marks a reduction in the U.S. footprint in eastern Syria. No major escalations reported in other theaters like Gaza, Lebanon, or Yemen.
The repeated Russian strikes exacerbate Ukraine's energy vulnerabilities during winter, straining civilian resilience and military logistics without altering frontline dynamics significantly. The Al-Tanf handover may enable greater Syrian and Iranian influence over regional smuggling routes, heightening risks of ISIS resurgence or cross-border threats to Jordan and Iraq. Intelligence gaps persist on exact Russian advance intentions post-Pokrovsk and potential Iranian exploitation in Syria.
