Updated Analysis of the Military Situation in Ukraine: March 12, 2025, 08:42 UTC

Key Changes and Developments (08:13 UTC - 08:42 UTC)

SUDZHA, KURSK REGION: RUSSIAN ADVANCE CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN WITHDRAWAL (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
- Басурин о главном (08:02 UTC), ТАСС (08:22 UTC): CONFIRM Russian forces have ENTERED CENTRAL SUDZHA and are RAISING THE RUSSIAN FLAG. TASS video SHOWS the CENTER OF SUDZHA under RUSSIAN CONTROL. RUSSIAN SOURCES claim UKRAINIAN FORCES have LIMITED ESCAPE ROUTES. Claims a garrison of several thousand.
- Военкор Котенок (07:47 UTC), STERNENKO (07:51 UTC), ASTRA (07:54 UTC), КіберБорошно | CyberBoroshno (08:11): UKRAINIAN AND PRO-UKRAINIAN SOURCES CONFIRM WITHDRAWAL FROM THE KURSK REGION, citing CUT LOGISTICAL ARTERIES. STERNENKO ADMITS PARTIAL RUSSIAN CONTROL of SUDZHA. CyberBoroshno claims UKRAINE HELD SUDZHA FOR 218 DAYS and RUSSIA USED 50,000 TROOPS in the assault.
- Assessment: This represents a SIGNIFICANT RUSSIAN ADVANCE and a MAJOR UKRAINIAN SETBACK. The CONFIRMATION OF RUSSIAN CONTROL in CENTRAL SUDZHA from MULTIPLE SOURCES, including UKRAINIAN ONES, is CRITICAL. The CLAIM OF 50,000 RUSSIAN TROOPS involved REQUIRES VERIFICATION, but the ADMISSION OF LOGISTICAL DIFFICULTIES by UKRAINIAN SOURCES lends CREDENCE to RUSSIAN CLAIMS of ENCIRCLEMENT. UKRAINIAN FORCES are CONFIRMED to be WITHDRAWING to SUMY OBLAST. The SPEED AND SCALE OF THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE are CONCERNING.
US AID RESUMPTION / PRESSURE ON UKRAINE (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
- Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (07:43 UTC): Claims TRUMP "PUT ZELENSKY IN HIS PLACE" and is SERIOUS ABOUT A LONG-TERM PEACE AGREEMENT.
- Оперативний ЗСУ (07:43 UTC), РБК-Україна (07:45 UTC, 07:52 UTC), STERNENKO (08:16 UTC): CONFIRM the RESUMPTION OF US WEAPONS SHIPMENTS to UKRAINE through the POLISH HUB in JASIONKA. POLISH DEPUTY MINISTER OF NATIONAL DEFENSE confirms this.
- Assessment: This SOLIDIFIES the NARRATIVE of US PRESSURE ON UKRAINE to NEGOTIATE, while SIMULTANEOUSLY RESUMING MILITARY AID. This is a CRITICAL DEVELOPMENT, suggesting a DUAL-TRACK APPROACH by the US: INCREASING PRESSURE for CONCESSIONS while MAINTAINING UKRAINIAN FIGHTING CAPACITY to INFLUENCE THE NEGOTIATING TABLE. The RESUMPTION OF WEAPONS SHIPMENTS is EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT, indicating the US is not ABANDONING UKRAINE, but RESHAPING THE RELATIONSHIP.
AIR ACTIVITY: CONTINUED BOMBING (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, UKRAINIAN SOURCE):
- Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (08:00 UTC): Reports REPEATED LAUNCHES of GUIDED AERIAL BOMBS by TACTICAL AVIATION in SUMY OBLAST and on DONETSK OBLAST.
- Assessment: This CONFIRMS CONTINUED RUSSIAN AIR ACTIVITY and TARGETING OF UKRAINIAN POSITIONS, reinforcing previous reports.
DONETSK REGION: CONTINUED FIGHTING, CIVILIAN TARGETING (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
- Сили оборони Півдня України (07:46 UTC): Reports CONTINUED FIGHTING across MULTIPLE DIRECTIONS in SOUTHERN UKRAINE, including HULIAIPILSKE, ORIKHIVSKE, and PRYDNIPROVSKE. Mentions OVER 240 ENEMY ATTACKS with OVER 1000 MUNITIONS, 310 DRONE STRIKES, and 23 GUIDED AERIAL BOMBS (KAB) and 54 UNGUIDED AERIAL ROCKETS (NAR).

🇺🇦 Запорізька обласна військова адміністрація 🇺🇦 (08:02 UTC): Report that enemy drones targeted a volunteer car in Orihiv.
- Assessment: This CONFIRMS INTENSE FIGHTING across MULTIPLE FRONTS in the SOUTH, with a HIGH VOLUME OF FIRE from RUSSIAN FORCES. The targeting of a volunteer car continues the trend of indiscriminate attacks.

INTELLIGENCE SHARING RESUMPTION CONFIRMED (HIGH PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, MULTIPLE SOURCES)

STERNENKO (08:30 UTC): Claims that Tulsi Gabbard (the director of national intelligence) has paused the suspension of intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
РБК-Україна (08:33 UTC): Confirms the above.
Assessment: The pause of the intelligence sharing suspension reinforces the Dual-Track approach the US government is taking.

Updated Situation Summary

EXTREME PRIORITY:
- CONFIRMED RUSSIAN ADVANCE INTO CENTRAL SUDZHA, with UKRAINIAN FORCES WITHDRAWING to SUMY OBLAST due to CUT LOGISTICAL ARTERIES. This represents a MAJOR RUSSIAN VICTORY and a SIGNIFICANT UKRAINIAN DEFEAT in the KURSK REGION.
- CONFIRMED RESUMPTION OF US WEAPONS SHIPMENTS TO UKRAINE, alongside CONTINUED PRESSURE on ZELENSKY to NEGOTIATE. This is a MAJOR SHIFT IN US POLICY, indicating a DUAL-TRACK APPROACH.
INTELLIGENCE SHARING RESUMPTION CONFIRMED.
HIGH PRIORITY:
- CONTINUED RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES on SUMY OBLAST and DONETSK OBLAST.
- INTENSE FIGHTING across MULTIPLE FRONTS in the SOUTH, with HIGH VOLUME OF FIRE from RUSSIAN FORCES.

Updated Recommendations

ADDRESS THE LOSS OF SUDZHA AND THE KURSK REGION (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
- Conduct a full assessment of the REASONS FOR THE RAPID COLLAPSE of UKRAINIAN DEFENSES in the KURSK REGION, focusing on LOGISTICAL FAILURES, INTELLIGENCE GAPS, and POTENTIAL COMMAND FAILURES.
- Develop and implement plans for STABILIZING THE FRONT LINE in SUMY OBLAST, REINFORCING DEFENSES, and PREVENTING FURTHER RUSSIAN ADVANCES.
- Prepare a public information campaign to ACKNOWLEDGE THE LOSS OF TERRITORY, EXPLAIN THE REASONS FOR THE WITHDRAWAL, and REASSURE THE UKRAINIAN POPULATION that EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE TO STABILIZE THE SITUATION.
- Explore options for counter-offensives in other areas to RELIEVE PRESSURE on SUMY OBLAST and DISTRACT RUSSIAN FORCES.
ADDRESS THE US POLICY SHIFT (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
- Maintain all previous recommendations regarding SEEKING CLARIFICATION from US OFFICIALS on SPECIFIC DEMANDS FOR CONCESSIONS.
- Welcome and utilize the RESUMPTION OF WEAPONS SHIPMENTS, but REMAIN VIGILANT about the CONDITIONS ATTACHED.
- Develop a strategy to BALANCE the NEED FOR US SUPPORT with the NEED TO PRESERVE UKRAINIAN SOVEREIGNTY.
MAINTAIN HIGH ALERT FOR AIR ATTACKS (HIGH PRIORITY, CONTINUOUS MONITORING):
- Maintain all previous recommendations, including PRIORITIZING THE PROTECTION OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND MILITARY FACILITIES.
- Analyze reports of drone and missile strikes to IDENTIFY PATTERNS and IMPROVE AIR DEFENSE STRATEGIES.
ADDRESS THE CONTINUED FIGHTING IN THE SOUTH (HIGH PRIORITY, ONGOING ACTION):
- Maintain all previous recommendations, including REINFORCING DEFENSIVE POSITIONS, CONDUCTING COUNTERBATTERY FIRE, and TARGETING RUSSIAN LOGISTICS.
- Investigate and document the DRONE ATTACK on the VOLUNTEER CAR, holding RUSSIA ACCOUNTABLE for VIOLATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW.
ADDRESS THE RESUMPTION OF THE INTELLIGENCE SHARING (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
- Welcome the RESUMPTION OF INTELLIGENCE SHARING.
- REMAIN VIGILANT about the CONDITIONS ATTACHED.

The situation is EXTREMELY CRITICAL. The CONFIRMED RUSSIAN ADVANCE into CENTRAL SUDZHA and the UKRAINIAN WITHDRAWAL from the KURSK REGION represent a MAJOR TURNING POINT. The RESUMPTION OF US WEAPONS SHIPMENTS and INTELLIGENCE SHARING, while POSITIVE, is coupled with INCREASED PRESSURE on UKRAINE to NEGOTIATE. IMMEDIATE AND DECISIVE ACTION is ESSENTIAL to STABILIZE THE SITUATION, SUPPORT UKRAINIAN FORCES, and NAVIGATE THE COMPLEX POLITICAL LANDSCAPE.
