2 at the intersection of Odessa and Mykolaiv Oblasts, northwest course.
1 flew past Mykolaiv, course for Voznesensk district.
2 in the Elanets area.
2 west of Kropyvnytskyi, north course.
2 south of Kremenchuk, west course.
1 in the north of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
3 east of Poltava, south course.
10 circling in the north of Poltava Oblast.
1 course for/through Kanev.
1 in the east of Kyiv Oblast.
1 west of Poltava.
Assessment: This DETAILED UPDATE confirms CONTINUED AND WIDESPREAD DRONE ACTIVITY across MULTIPLE REGIONS. The LARGE NUMBER OF DRONES (at least 25 based on this report alone) suggests a MAJOR AND SUSTAINED ATTACK. The MOVEMENT OF DRONES TOWARDS KEY AREAS like MYKOLAIV, KROPYVNYTSKYI, KREMENCHUK, AND KYIV is HIGHLY CONCERNING. The concentration of 10 DRONES CIRCLING IN NORTHERN POLTAVA OBLAST is PARTICULARLY NOTEWORTHY.
RUSSIAN MoD REPORT (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
MoD Russia (20:33 UTC) reports the following:
On February 28, Ukrainian forces attempted to attack the Russkaya Compressor Station in Gai-Kodzor (Krasnodar region) with three fixed-wing UAVs to disrupt gas supplies to Europe. All UAVs were shot down.
Ukrainian attempts to replenish losses are failing, with casualties exceeding mobilization numbers.
Russian forces liberated Skudnoye and Burlatskoye (Donetsk People's Republic).
Russian forces are continuing operations in the Kursk region, inflicting significant casualties and destroying equipment.
An Iskander-M missile strike on the Novomoskovsky military training range in Dnipropetrovsk region eliminated up to 150 Ukrainian troops, including up to 30 foreign instructors.
Soldiers of the 5th Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade were presented with awards.
Footage of TOS-2 Tosochka, Fagot ATGM, snipers, and UAV operators in action.
Assessment: This COMPREHENSIVE REPORT from the RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE claims SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT SUCCESSES. The CLAIMED CAPTURE OF SKUDNOYE AND BURLATSKOYECORROBORATES EARLIER REPORTS from Военкор Котенок (20:01 UTC) about RUSSIAN ADVANCES in this area. The REPORTED STRIKE ON THE NOVOMOSKOVSKY TRAINING RANGE, if confirmed, would represent a MAJOR BLOW to UKRAINIAN FORCES, particularly the CLAIMED ELIMINATION OF FOREIGN INSTRUCTORS. The ASSERTION OF UKRAINIAN REPLENISHMENT PROBLEMS is likely PROPAGANDA, but REINFORCES CONCERNS about UKRAINIAN MANPOWER. The reported ATTEMPTED ATTACK ON THE RUSSKAYA COMPRESSOR STATION indicates a POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN EFFORT to TARGET RUSSIAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
UKRAINIAN DRONE ATTACK ON RUSSIAN COMPRESSOR STATION (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
The ATTEMPTED ATTACK ON THE RUSSKAYA COMPRESSOR STATION indicates a POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN EFFORT to TARGET RUSSIAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
Assessment: The attack, if true, confirms Ukrainian intention of targeting Russian infrastructure, potentially to harm the economy and gas supplies.
Шеф Hayabusa (20:33 UTC) posts a video allegedly showing Russian soldiers fighting among themselves at Yekaterinburg airport, supposedly to avoid being sent to Ukraine.
Assessment: This VIDEO, if authentic, SUGGESTS MORALE PROBLEMS AND RELUCTANCE TO FIGHT among SOME RUSSIAN SOLDIERS. It REINFORCES PREVIOUS CONCERNS about RUSSIAN MORALE. However, VERIFICATION IS NEEDED as the video could be MISREPRESENTED OR STAGED.
NEW ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ZELENSKY (LOW PRIORITY, REPORTED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
Alex Parker Returns (20:35 UTC) and ТАСС (21:00 UTC) report claims that Zelensky's team sold US weapons on the black market and accusations of political assassinations.
Assessment: These ACCUSATIONS, primarily from PRO-RUSSIAN SOURCES, are LIKELY PART OF AN INFORMATION WARFARE CAMPAIGN to DISCREDIT ZELENSKY AND UNDERMINE INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE. INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION IS CRITICAL.
KYIV AIR RAID ALERT (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
КМВА (20:52, 20:53 UTC), Оперативний ЗСУ (20:53 UTC), РБК-Україна (20:53 UTC) and Colonelcassad (20:59 UTC) report an air raid alert in Kyiv due to a drone threat.
Assessment: This CONFIRMS the DRONE THREAT TO KYIV, consistent with REPORTS OF DRONE MOVEMENT TOWARDS THE CAPITAL. AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS ARE LIKELY ACTIVATED.
UK OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION OF ZELENSKY VISIT AND LOAN(HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED):
Zelenskiy / Official (20:55 UTC), 🇺🇦 Запорізька обласна військова адміністрація 🇺🇦 (20:56 UTC), Олег Синєгубов, голова Харківської ОДА (20:57 UTC) and РБК-Україна (21:00 UTC) report a confirmation of loan and partnership between Ukraine and UK.
Assessment: UK will still stand with Ukraine in the war.
UKRAINIAN AIR DEFENSE ALERT (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED):
Colonelcassad (20:59 UTC) reported air raids in multiple Ukrainian oblasts.
Assessment: This signifies ongoing operations.
Updated Situation Summary
MASSIVE AND SUSTAINED DRONE ATTACK CONTINUES (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONFIRMED):DETAILED UPDATES confirm WIDESPREAD DRONE ACTIVITY across MULTIPLE REGIONS, including KYIV. HIGH CONCERN about the NUMBER AND MOVEMENT OF DRONES.
RUSSIAN FORCES CLAIM SIGNIFICANT ADVANCES AND STRIKES (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED/CONFIRMED):RUSSIAN MoD REPORT claims CAPTURE OF SKUDNOYE AND BURLATSKOYE, CORROBORATING EARLIER REPORTS. CLAIMED STRIKE ON NOVOMOSKOVSKY TRAINING RANGE with HIGH CASUALTIES, INCLUDING FOREIGN INSTRUCTORS, requires URGENT VERIFICATION.
POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN ATTEMPT TO TARGET RUSSIAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED):RUSSIAN MoD claims UKRAINIAN UAV ATTACK on RUSSKAYA COMPRESSOR STATION.
IAEA ROTATION THROUGH RUSSIAN-OCCUPIED TERRITORY REMAINS A MAJOR CONCERN (EXTREME PRIORITY, REPORTED):NO NEW INFORMATION, but the issue REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY FOR INVESTIGATION.
CONTINUED INFORMATION WARFARE (HIGH PRIORITY, ONGOING):ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ZELENSKY from PRO-RUSSIAN SOURCES are likely PROPAGANDA.
ALL PREVIOUS KEY DEVELOPMENTS REMAIN RELEVANT (ADJUSTED PRIORITIES).
Updated Recommendations
MAINTAIN MAXIMUM AIR DEFENSE READINESS, PRIORITIZE KYIV AND OTHER THREATENED AREAS (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS ACTION):
Maintain maximum alert status for ALL AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS across ALL REGIONS experiencing drone threats.
Utilize updated drone movement information from ALL SOURCES (Повітряні Сили ЗС України, Николаевский Ванёк) to COORDINATE INTERCEPTIONS.
Prioritize protection of critical infrastructure and POPULATION CENTERS, especially in KYIV, MYKOLAIV, KROPYVNYTSKYI, KREMENCHUK, AND POLTAVA OBLAST.
Maintain continuous communication between AIR DEFENSE UNITS, COMMAND CENTERS, and ALLIED FORCES.
VERIFY RUSSIAN MoD CLAIMS (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Deploy all available intelligence assets to CONFIRM the REPORTED STRIKE on the NOVOMOSKOVSKY TRAINING RANGE and ASSESS CASUALTIES AND DAMAGE. Pay particular attention to the claim of foreign instructor casualties.
Confirm the capture of Skudnoye and Burlatskoye.
INVESTIGATE POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN ATTACK ON RUSSIAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Gather intelligence to CONFIRM the REPORTED UAV ATTACK on the RUSSKAYA COMPRESSOR STATION.
Assess the potential implications for RUSSIAN ENERGY EXPORTS and EUROPEAN ENERGY SECURITY.
Carefully consider the DEMAND FOR AN APOLOGY from ZELENSKY.
Assess the potential benefits and drawbacks of ISSUING AN APOLOGY.
Explore alternative diplomatic options for IMPROVING RELATIONS with the US.
Prioritize securing continued US military and financial aid, while AVOIDING ACTIONS that could FURTHER DAMAGE UKRAINE'S STANDING.
INVESTIGATE ALLEGED FIGHTING AMONG RUSSIAN SOLDIERS (MEDIUM PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
Attempt to verify the authenticity of the VIDEO from Шеф Hayabusa.
Gather intelligence on RUSSIAN MORALE AND DISCIPLINE.
COUNTER RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA AND DISINFORMATION (HIGH PRIORITY, ONGOING ACTION):
Continue to expose and debunk Russian disinformation campaigns, including the ACCUSATIONS AGAINST ZELENSKY regarding WEAPON SALES AND POLITICAL ASSASSINATIONS.
MAINTAIN ALL OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS (ADJUSTED PRIORITIES): All other recommendations from previous reports remain in effect, with priorities adjusted as indicated.
The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL. The MASSIVE AND SUSTAINED DRONE ATTACK poses an IMMEDIATE AND GRAVE THREAT to MULTIPLE REGIONS OF UKRAINE, including KYIV. The RUSSIAN MoD REPORT claims SIGNIFICANT SUCCESSES that require URGENT VERIFICATION. The POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN ATTACK ON RUSSIAN ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE marks a POSSIBLE ESCALATION. The IAEA ROTATION ISSUE remains a TOP CONCERN. IMMEDIATE AND DECISIVE ACTION is required on ALL FRONTS.
