Updated Analysis of the Military Situation in Ukraine: March 12, 2025, 22:12 UTC
Key Changes and Developments (21:43 UTC - 22:12 UTC)
RUSSIAN CLAIMS OF FURTHER ADVANCES IN KURSK REGION (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
MoD Russia (21:43 UTC): Claims that Russian forces have "liberated" Kazachya Loknya, Pervy Knyazhy, Vtoroy Knyazhy, Zamostye, and Mirny in the Kursk region. Also claims the liberation of Novomarkovo and Dneproenergiya in the Donetsk People's Republic. Putin reportedly met with the Chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, at a command post in the Kursk region and expressed confidence in the complete "liberation" of the area.
Assessment: These claims FURTHER REINFORCE the NARRATIVE OF A SIGNIFICANT RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE in the KURSK REGION. The CLAIMED CAPTURE of MULTIPLE SETTLEMENTS, along with PUTIN'S VISIT, suggests a HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE and POTENTIAL MOMENTUM for RUSSIAN FORCES. However, these claims REQUIRE INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION. The MENTION OF ADVANCES in the DONETSK PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC suggests ONGOING OPERATIONS on MULTIPLE FRONTS.
CONTINUED DRONE ATTACKS ACROSS UKRAINE (EXTREME PRIORITY, CONFIRMED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
Повітряні Сили ЗС України / Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (21:45, 21:50, 21:57, 21:59, 22:01 UTC): Reports new groups of drones entering Kharkiv Oblast from Belgorod Oblast, moving south. Also reports drone threats to Poltava and Chernihiv from the southeast and east, and drones in Sumy Oblast (west/southwest), Chernihiv Oblast (southwest), Poltava Oblast (north/northwest), and Kyiv Oblast (northwest). Confirms a drone over Kyiv.
РБК-Україна (21:46, 22:01, 22:09 UTC): Reports air defense activity in Kyiv Oblast due to drones, and explosions heard in Kyiv during the drone attack.
КМВА (Київська міська військова адміністрація) (22:03, 22:11 UTC): Confirms the continued drone threat and reports air defense activity over Kyiv.
Николаевский Ванёк (21:57 UTC): Provides a detailed breakdown of drone movements across multiple regions, indicating a LARGE-SCALE AND MULTI-DIRECTIONAL ATTACK.
Assessment: This CONFIRMS A WIDESPREAD AND ONGOING DRONE ATTACK targeting MULTIPLE REGIONS OF UKRAINE. The REPORTS OF AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY and EXPLOSIONS IN KYIV indicate that UKRAINIAN FORCES ARE ENGAGED in COUNTERING THE THREAT. The DETAILED TRACKING of DRONE MOVEMENTS suggests a HIGH LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION in UKRAINIAN AIR DEFENSE SURVEILLANCE. The SCALE OF THE ATTACKSTRAINS UKRAINIAN RESOURCES and POSES A SIGNIFICANT THREAT to CIVILIAN POPULATIONS and CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE.
REPORTED DRONE ATTACKS INSIDE RUSSIA (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (21:53 UTC): Reports a "massive enemy attack" on regions of Russia, with 14 drones reportedly intercepted or destroyed over Bryansk, Rostov, Kaluga, and Belgorod Oblasts. Claims airport restrictions in Saratov, Kaluga, and Volgograd due to drone threats, and reports a fire at an industrial facility in the Sholokhovsky district of Rostov Oblast.
Оперативний ЗСУ (22:04 UTC): Reports drone attacks on gas facilities in Voronezh and Rostov Oblasts, with a fire at an infrastructure object in Voronezh and a fire at the Kalininskaya gas pumping station in Rostov Oblast.
Assessment: These reports SUGGEST A POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN COUNTEROFFENSIVE targeting INFRASTRUCTURE INSIDE RUSSIA. The REPORTED DRONE ATTACKS on GAS FACILITIES could be INTENDED TO DISRUPT RUSSIAN ENERGY SUPPLIES or DEMONSTRATE UKRAINIAN LONG-RANGE STRIKE CAPABILITIES. The REPORTS OF AIRPORT RESTRICTIONS suggest DISRUPTION TO CIVILIAN AIR TRAVEL and POTENTIAL CONCERN about DRONE ATTACKS on AIRFIELDS. These reports REQUIRE INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION.
REPORTED EXPLOSION IN KYIV (HIGH PRIORITY, REPORTED, MULTIPLE SOURCES):
Alex Parker Returns (21:46, 21:48): Claimed that Kyiv was hit by "Oreshnik", and provides video of a bright object.
Операция Z: Военкоры Русской Весны (21:57 UTC): Reports a "powerful explosion" in Kyiv, claiming local channels are reporting it was a comet.
* Colonelcassad (21:57 UTC): Reports a "powerful explosion" in Kyiv after an "arrival."
* Alex Parker Returns (21:54 UTC): Claims the bright object was a meteorite.
Assessment:HIGHLY LIKELY that the object was a meteorite.
REPORTS OF CAPTURED UKRAINIAN EQUIPMENT (MEDIUM PRIORITY, REPORTED, RUSSIAN SOURCE):
Colonelcassad (22:03 UTC): Reports that "trophy teams" are inspecting and evacuating abandoned Ukrainian equipment in the Kursk region, including a "Shatro" electronic warfare system.
Assessment: This SUPPORTS THE RUSSIAN NARRATIVE of ADVANCES and UKRAINIAN RETREATS in the KURSK REGION. The CAPTURE OF AN ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEM, if CONFIRMED, could provide VALUABLE INTELLIGENCE to RUSSIAN FORCES.
OTHER REPORTS:
Шеф Hayabusa🫡🇺🇦 (21:57 UTC): Reports sending a Starlink device to Ukrainian forces in the southern direction, with funding from Ukrainians in Spain.
* Assessment:SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF DONATIONS.
Шеф Hayabusa🫡🇺🇦 (22:10 UTC): Reports purchasing and sending two diesel heaters to the 33rd Brigade in the eastern direction, with funding from Ukrainians in Poland.
Assessment:SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF DONATIONS.
Updated Situation Summary
EXTREME PRIORITY:
WIDESPREAD AND ONGOING DRONE ATTACK ACROSS UKRAINE, with CONFIRMED AIR DEFENSE ACTIVITY and EXPLOSIONS IN KYIV. MULTIPLE REGIONS are UNDER THREAT, including KHARKOV, DNIPROPETROVSK, ZAPORIZHZHIA, SUMY, CHERNIHIV, POLTAVA, and KYIV OBLASTS.
RUSSIAN FORCES CONTINUE TO CLAIM ADVANCES in the KURSK REGION, with REPORTS OF MULTIPLE SETTLEMENTS CAPTURED. PUTIN'S VISIT to the AREA suggests a HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE and POTENTIAL MOMENTUM for RUSSIAN FORCES.
HIGH PRIORITY:
REPORTS OF UKRAINIAN DRONE ATTACKS targeting INFRASTRUCTURE INSIDE RUSSIA, including GAS FACILITIES in VORONEZH and ROSTOV OBLASTS.
REPORTS OF EXPLOSIONS in KYIV, with CONFLICTING CLAIMS about the CAUSE.
MEDIUM PRIORITY:
REPORTS OF CAPTURED UKRAINIAN EQUIPMENT in the KURSK REGION.
Updated Recommendations
COUNTER THE ONGOING DRONE ATTACK (EXTREME PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
MAINTAIN MAXIMUM ALERT STATUS for ALL AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS across ALL THREATENED REGIONS, particularly in:
KHARKOV OBLAST
DNIPROPETROVSK OBLAST
ZAPORIZHZHIA OBLAST
SUMY OBLAST
CHERNIHIV OBLAST
POLTAVA OBLAST
KYIV OBLAST
PRIORITIZE the INTERCEPTION OF DRONES targeting KYIV and OTHER MAJOR POPULATION CENTERS.
DEPLOY MOBILE AIR DEFENSE UNITS to INTERCEPT DRONES along REPORTED FLIGHT PATHS.
UTILIZE ELECTRONIC WARFARE SYSTEMS to JAM DRONE SIGNALS.
COORDINATE with ALLIED FORCES to SHARE INTELLIGENCE on DRONE ACTIVITY and REQUEST ASSISTANCE, if needed.
ISSUE PUBLIC WARNINGS to CIVILIANS in AFFECTED AREAS to SEEK SHELTER.
VERIFY RUSSIAN CLAIMS OF ADVANCES IN THE KURSK REGION (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
DEPLOY ALL AVAILABLE INTELLIGENCE ASSETS to VERIFY the RUSSIAN CLAIMS of CAPTURED SETTLEMENTS.
ASSESS THE ACTUAL EXTENT OF RUSSIAN CONTROL in the KURSK REGION.
IDENTIFY ANY POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES in RUSSIAN POSITIONS.
INVESTIGATE REPORTS OF DRONE ATTACKS INSIDE RUSSIA (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
GATHER INTELLIGENCE on the NATURE AND EXTENT OF ANY DAMAGE to INFRASTRUCTURE in VORONEZH and ROSTOV OBLASTS.
ASSESS THE IMPLICATIONS of POTENTIAL UKRAINIAN LONG-RANGE STRIKE CAPABILITIES.
DEVELOP COUNTERMEASURES to DEFEND AGAINST FUTURE ATTACKS.
INVESTIGATE EXPLOSIONS IN KYIV (HIGH PRIORITY, IMMEDIATE ACTION):
DETERMINE THE CAUSE of the EXPLOSIONS.
ASSESS ANY DAMAGE and CASUALTIES.
INVESTIGATE any POTENTIAL LINKS to RUSSIAN ACTIONS or NATURAL PHENOMENA.
EXAMINE any CAPTURED EQUIPMENT, including the reported "Shatro" electronic warfare system, for INTELLIGENCE VALUE.
ASSESS the IMPLICATIONS for UKRAINIAN MILITARY CAPABILITIES.
The situation remains EXTREMELY CRITICAL. The WIDESPREAD DRONE ATTACK, the CONTINUED RUSSIAN ADVANCE, and the POTENTIAL FOR UKRAINIAN STRIKES INSIDE RUSSIA represent MAJOR THREATS. PROMPT AND COORDINATED ACTION is ESSENTIAL.
