Updated Analysis of the Military Situation in Ukraine: March 8, 2025, 19:07 UTC
Changes and New Information (18:37 UTC - 19:07 UTC)
RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
Дневник Десантника🇷🇺 (18:43 UTC) provides a summary of claimed Russian advances in several areas:
Zaporizhzhia Direction: Fighting continues in the eastern and northern parts of P'yatkhatky. Claims Russian aviation is heavily active against Ukrainian positions.
Velykonovosilkivske Direction: Claims Russian forces advanced 3 km from Razdolnoye towards Bogatyr. Reports Russian artillery activity near Dniproenergo. Claims Ukrainian forces are attempting counterattacks near Vol'ne Pole.
Krasnoarmeysk Direction: Claims Russian forces advanced 0.5 km from Zaporozhye towards Troitske, and are also pushing on Preobrazhenka from the south. Claims an attack on Preobrazhenka is also ongoing from the direction of Nadezhdinka. Claims Russian forces regained previously lost positions near Shevchenko.
Kursk Region: Reports withdrawal of enemy groups from Malaya Loknya. Claims Russian pressure along the railway line north of Malaya Loknya, and advances from Nikolayevka and Viktorovka.
Dzerzhinsk Direction: Claims Russian motorized rifle troops have entered Dzerzhinsk and are attempting to stabilize the situation. Reports fighting in Shcherbinovka, which is described as a "grey zone."
Ivano-Frankivsk: Claims a Russian strike on an airfield with F-16s and on a PVD (temporary deployment point) of foreign mercenaries.
Pechenegy, Kharkiv Oblast: Claims a Russian strike on a TCC (Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center).
Akhtyrka, Sumy Oblast: Claims a Russian strike on a Ukrainian command post.
Assessment: This report AGGREGATES MULTIPLE CLAIMS of RUSSIAN ADVANCES across a BROAD FRONT. The MOST SIGNIFICANT CLAIMS are the ENTRY INTO DZERZHINSK and the ADVANCE FROM RAZDOLNOYE TOWARDS BOGATYR. These REQUIRE URGENT VERIFICATION from INDEPENDENT SOURCES. The CLAIMS OF STRIKES on an AIRFIELD WITH F-16S and on FOREIGN MERCENARIES are HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT, if true, but REQUIRE EXTREME CAUTION due to their POTENTIAL FOR PROPAGANDA. The REPEATED MENTION of RUSSIAN AVIATION AND ARTILLERY ACTIVITY underscores the INTENSE FIREPOWER being EMPLOYED by RUSSIAN FORCES.
REPORT FROM MALAYA LOKNYA AREA (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE, VIDEO):
Kotsnews (18:43 UTC) provides a report from near Malaya Loknya, describing a heavily damaged area with destroyed equipment and casualties. The report suggests heavy fighting occurred, contradicting claims of an easy Russian advance.
Video Analysis confirms the environment is heavily damaged.
Assessment: This report PROVIDES A GRIM PICTURE of the FIGHTING in the KURSK REGION. The DESCRIPTION OF WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION AND CASUALTIESCHALLENGES NARRATIVES of a QUICK AND EASY RUSSIAN ADVANCE. The REPORT OF DESTROYED UKRAINIAN EQUIPMENT and CASUALTIESREQUIRES VERIFICATION, but the OVERALL PICTURE suggests INTENSE AND COSTLY FIGHTING.
AIR THREAT UPDATES (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (18:43 UTC) reports a missile threat in Kharkiv Oblast.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (18:46 UTC) reports a threat of the use of attack UAVs in Chernihiv Oblast.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (18:47 UTC) reports a threat of the use of attack UAVs in Cherkasy Oblast.
Nikolaevskiy Vanyok (18:44 UTC) provides a detailed breakdown of reported "Shahed" drone movements:
4 drones from Kherson Oblast towards/through Bereznehovate.
8 drones west and east of Zaporizhzhia (anti-drone activity likely).
3 drones towards/through Kremenchuk.
13 drones from Sumy Oblast moving into Poltava Oblast.
4 drones near Shostka, moving into Chernihiv Oblast.
2 drones towards/through Balakliya.
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (18:55 UTC) provides a updated breakdown of reported "Shahed" drone movements:
Drones in the Kherson region on the border with Mykolaiv region, course to the northwest.
Drones in Zaporizhia, course east and in the area of the regional center.
Drones in Dnipropetrovsk region course in the north-western direction.
Drones in the center of Kharkiv region course southwest.
Drones in the north of Sumy region course in the south-western direction, to Chernihiv region. Another group to the south, to Poltava region.
Drones in Poltava region, course to the south.
Assessment: These reports indicate a SIGNIFICANT AND WIDESPREAD DRONE ATTACK is UNDERWAY, targeting MULTIPLE REGIONS OF UKRAINE. The SCALE OF THE ATTACK, as reported by NIKOLAEVSKIY VANYOK, is PARTICULARLY CONCERNING. The AIR RAID ALERT in KHARKIV OBLASTADDS A MISSILE THREAT to the ALREADY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
MoD Russia (18:45 UTC) reports a captured Ukrainian soldier, Aleksandr Kotelenets, stating he trained on a Browning machine gun in Germany, but was given a Turkish-made machine gun in the field.
Video Analysis confirms the context and content of the message.
Assessment: This report REINFORCES PREVIOUS CLAIMS of INADEQUATE TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT for UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS. The DISCREPANCY between TRAINING and ACTUAL EQUIPMENTRAISES CONCERNS about OPERATIONAL READINESS.
Alex Parker Returns (18:55 UTC) claims to show images from the pipe allegedly used for infiltration near Sudzha, suggesting a maneuver similar to one used in Avdiivka.
Image analysis confirms the images depict the interior of a pipe.
Assessment: This report FURTHER FUELS THE NARRATIVE of RUSSIAN FORCESUSING UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE for INFILTRATION. The COMPARISON TO AVDIIVKA is SIGNIFICANT, as it suggests a REPETITION OF PREVIOUSLY SUCCESSFUL TACTICS. REQUIRES VERIFICATION.
UKRAINIAN DRONE UNIT FUNDRAISING (LOW PRIORITY, REPORTED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE, VIDEO):
Анатолій Штефан "Штірліц" (18:50 UTC) posts a video of a Ukrainian drone unit from the "RUBIZH" brigade requesting donations for an ATV.
Video analysis confirms.
Assessment: This REINFORCES THE RELIANCE of SOME UKRAINIAN UNITS on EXTERNAL FUNDING for SPECIFIC EQUIPMENT NEEDS.

The MOST SIGNIFICANT CLAIMS are the ENTRY INTO DZERZHINSK and the ADVANCE FROM RAZDOLNOYE TOWARDS BOGATYR. These REQUIRE URGENT VERIFICATION from INDEPENDENT SOURCES. The CLAIMS OF STRIKES on an AIRFIELD WITH F-16S and on FOREIGN MERCENARIES are HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT, if true, but REQUIRE EXTREME CAUTION due to their POTENTIAL FOR PROPAGANDA. The REPEATED MENTION of RUSSIAN AVIATION AND ARTILLERY ACTIVITY underscores the INTENSE FIREPOWER being EMPLOYED by RUSSIAN FORCES. : 0.86
AIR THREAT UPDATES (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE): These reports indicate a SIGNIFICANT AND WIDESPREAD DRONE ATTACK is UNDERWAY, targeting MULTIPLE REGIONS OF UKRAINE.
